‘Hatchet’ Going On Theatrical Tour for 10th Anniversary
Never got to see Hatchet on the big screen? You may soon get the chance.
As we announced last week, a very special 10th anniversary screening of Adam Green’s Hatchet is taking place at next month’s UK FrightFest, where a never-seen version of the throwback slasher film will be shown to the festival audience.
And don’t worry, US fans. That same event is also going on tour!
The announcement was made on the Ariescope blog today…
“This is merely the first official ’10th Anniversary Event’ screening date of many to be announced, so please be patient! Due to writer/director’s Adam Green’s many obligations and extremely difficult schedule with current projects such as finishing post-production on his upcoming new film (details coming later this year), developing/shooting two new television projects, the forthcoming SCARY SLEEPOVER ‘Christmas Special’ (12/15/17), the next issues of the HATCHET & HOLLISTON comics, a novel he is finishing writing, the weekly MOVIE CRYPT podcast, writing/rehearsing the next season of HOLLISTON, and even more new, fun stuff that we can’t announce just yet… scheduling and committing to tour dates and appearances has never been harder to accomplish. But fear not! As the Fall gets closer more and more cities and dates will start being announced and man do we have some great stuff planned!”
“Very few details about the special anniversary version of HATCHET that Green (and surprise guests) will be screening in London will be revealed beforehand other than the fact that fans will be treated to never before seen footage and will also (very likely) get a sneak preview of a little something special from Green’s still untitled forthcoming new film (due out at the end of 2017) before the HATCHET screening begins. Rather than spoil any of the surprises in advance we’re just going to let the fans in London see for themselves! YES, the same footage shown at FrightFest will be shown at every stop on the ’10th Anniversary’ tour this Fall so don’t worry if you can’t physically be there.”

Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
