Scott Glosserman Talks ‘Behind The Mask 2’ Plans
A huge panel of cast and crew from the awesome Behind The Mask was gathered for Creation’s Weekend of Horrors today in Los Angeles, including writer/director Scott Glosserman, and naturally talk of the long-awaited sequel came up.
Glosserman wanted to stress that the sequel was “far from a certainty”, but the script is written and everyone has given an oral agreement to come back, including Robert Englund. Glosserman told the crowd that what needs to happen is a “groundswell of communal support”, because they won’t be able to get financing without proof that there is interest/demand for a sequel. He mentioned possible “crowdfunding” as a means to “make a dent” in the budget, just to prove to financiers that this can be a successful project.
In the meantime, they have just launched a new Facebook page, where you can watch a new video of Leslie (Nathan Baesel) talking about what he’s been up to, as well as dropping some hints at what the sequel will be about (Glosserman says that it will deconstruct sequels, prequels, AND remakes!). So head on over and “like” the page to show support (Glosserman mentioned calling on the “Hatchet Army” to help out – represent, folks!) – let’s do what we can to get Leslie Vernon the sequel he deserves!
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
