Filming is officially underway in New Orleans on Hatchet III, the latest installment of the cult horror series from MPI/Dark Sky Films and ArieScrope Pictures.

Zach Galligan, who is best known for starring in 1980s classics Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch, has joined the cast, as has Cody Blue Snider, the son of Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider, and Rileah Vanderbilt, who plays a SWAT team member.

As previously announced, also heading to the Louisiana swamps: Derek Mears (Friday the 13th), Caroline Williams (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), Diane Goldner (The Collector), Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs) and The FP writer-director Jason Trost. Bear McCreary, the composer who worked on Syfy’s Battlestar Galactica and scored The Walking Dead, will be handling scoring duties for the movie.

Original Hatchet cameraman BJ McDonnell is making his directorial debut with Dark Sky Films and ArieScope Pictures’ horror sequel, which stars previously announced horror icons Danielle Harris and Kane Hodder as “Bayou Butcher” Victor Crowley. “The story finds Harris hunting down the true secret to ending the voodoo curse that has left Crowley’s ghost terrorizing Honey Island Swamp for decades.” Mears will play a brooding, pompous SWAT team leader who is sent in to contain the carnage strewn about the haunted swamp. Williams will play a fast-talking journalist who fancies herself an expert on the legend of supernatural stalker Crowley.

Shooting is set to begin in early next year in Canada.”

The film, “centers on a veteran who returns to Texas and must fight his inner demons to save his farm not merely from a greedy corporation but also a horror that threatens to devour the American heartland.” Danielle Harris (Hatchet 2, Among Friends), Jennifer Blanc (The Victim), Michael Eklund (The Divide), Ivan Gonzalez (The Divide) and Courtney B. Vance (Final Destination 5) will star. Also announced under the deal are Up and Down, directed by Carlo Rizzo, and The Predicator, directed by Greg Morin.

Dark Sky Confirms The Return Of Danielle Harris & Kane Hodder For ‘Hatchet 3′

Dark Sky Films and Ariescope Pictures are pleased to officially announce that both Kane Hodder and Danielle Harris have joined the cast of Hatchet III, the next exciting chapter in the horror saga of swamp-dwelling killer Victor Crowley, which will be written and produced by Adam Green and directed by BJ McDonnell.

Kane Hodder portrayed the evil Crowley in the 2006 Hatchet and will continue in Hatchet 3. In the 2010 sequel, Danielle Harris took over the role of Marybeth, the young woman who, at the movie’s climax, managed to escape Crowley’s clutches (and, apparently, kill him). The new movie continues where Hatchet 2 left off, as a search and recovery team heads into the haunted swamp to pick up the pieces and Marybeth learns the secret to ending the voodoo curse that has left Victor Crowley haunting and terrorizing Honey Island Swamp for decades.

Victor Crowley is the second modern horror icon played by Kane Hodder; he was the masked slasher Jason Voorhees in many of the Friday the 13th movies. Danielle Harris started her career as a child actress in Halloween 4 and starred in that series’ reboot as well as such shockers as Stake Land and Left for Dead.

A 2013 release is planned. READ MORE

With Danielle Harris now confirmed to return as Marybeth in Dark Sky Films’ Hatchet III, Bloody Disgusting exclusively learned that Sean Whalen (pictured inside), best known for roles in Wes Craven’s People Under the Stairs and Rob Halls’ FX heavy Laid to Rest, is also locked in for a trip to the bloody swamp to come face-to-face with Victor Crowley.

Hatchet 3 will be written and produced by series creator Adam Green who is handing the directing reigns over to longtime camera operator BJ McDonnell. It will continue where the story left off in Hatchet 2, as a young woman sought revenge on the malevolent Victor Crowley who killed her family while they were fishing in Louisiana swamp country.

Hatchet 3 is currently prepping and is about to shoot in and around New Orleans, Louisiana. ArieScope Pictures and Dark Sky Films will likely release the film sometime in 2013. READ MORE

Danielle Harris Confirms Role In ‘Hatchet 3′!

I think a lot of us were assuming that Danielle Harris (Among Friends, Hatchet 2) would reprise her role as Marybeth in Hatchet 3, and now that assumption has been confirmed.

Speaking with OBX Entertainment Harris said, “I’m excited to be starting Hatchet III next. It’s going to be great.” This is from an appearance at this past weekend’s “Blood On The Beach” convention, and OBX claims she gave the statement yesterday. Given the timing and the fact that Hatchet 3 is currently prepping and is about to shoot in and around New Orleans, Louisiana – I’d say the margin for error is pretty low.

Genre favorite Danielle Harris is getting behind the camera for her first directing gig, Among Friends. The screenplay was penned by Alyssa Lobit, who also wrote and played the lead character in the award winning film The Things We Carry. There’s no official synopsis yet but with a tagline like “This dinner party’s gonna be killer,” I’m praying that it’s a cross between Clue and Murder Party – the more it’s like the former, the better.

Chris Backus, Jennifer Blanc Biehn, AJ Bowen, Brianne Davis, Dana Daurey, Danielle Harris, Kamala Jones, Alyssa Lobit, Chris Meyer and Tanya Newbould have all signed on to star in the picture. The project is financed by production companies Three Little Birds and Hollywood Treasures Inc. Jay Lobit and Bill Allison are executive producers for Among Friends.

The splatter sequel with ol’ numbskull will take a stab at Blu-ray this September.

In an early official announcement to retailers, Image Entertainment is prepping ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2 for Blu-ray on September 20, reports High Def Digest.

Robert Hall’s low-budget horror film stars Nick Principe, Danielle Harris (‘Halloween II’), and Thomas Dekker and Brian Austin Green (‘Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles’).

The Blu-ray will feature 1080p video, a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements include an audio commentary, deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, bloopers, and a trailer.

“ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2 picks up three months after the end of the first film. Tommy (Dekker), who’s struggling with vivid memories of his first encounter with the masked killer, has been abducted by Preston (Green), who harbors a mysterious connection to ChromeSkull (Principe). Meanwhile, the technologically saavy slasher — he videotapes his victims as he’s killing them — has set his sights on Jess (Michaels), and after the young girl disappears, Detective King (Yeoman) races against time to find her and Tommy before it’s too late and try to put an end to ChromeSkull’s blood-soaked legacy.”
