Greg McLean on ‘Wolf Creek 2’ Script Development
It was confirmed last night that Aussie director Greg McLean would be getting back behind the camera for his long-gestured sequel to Wolf Creek, the Sundance Film Festival selection made for less than $2 million that centered on a group of backpackers who have a run in with a loopy stranger named Mick Taylor (John Jarratt). We caught up with McLean who talked a bit about the progress and what we can expect from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre-esque sequel.
“I can confirm we are working on a sequel to ‘Wolf Creek,’” McLean tells Bloody Disgusting. “We’ve got a way to go but we’re hoping to get into production next year. It’s been on the drawing board for a few years now and we’ve finally cracked a killer script (excuse the pun),” he jokes. “I really felt we had to wait to get that right, in order to find a way into the story, and at the same time maintain the rules and logic of the first movie. It’s important for the film I think that it’s link to reality and the true crime genre is never lost, as that’s what it’s all about. And that’s what we’re focusing on – capturing the realism behind these kind of horrific events and crimes that have actually taken place in the Outback.
“It’s a massive canvas for terror out there – and the new movie will be taking full advantage of that scope and terrifying, epic scale,” he continues. “That, and of course, Mick Taylor scaring the living s*&# out of the audience!”
We’ll keep you guys in the loop as production gets underway in 2011.
Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.
Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.
“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.
No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.
A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.
Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
