Finally, a Sequel to ‘The Collector’ and ‘The Collection’ is Happening!
We’ve been begging for a sequel to The Collection ever since the follow-up to The Collector was released back in 2012, but despite the sequel tease at the end of the second installment (Arkin collects the Collector!), there’s been no forward momentum on that front these past seven years. Which brings us to tonight, and a tease from franchise star Josh Stewart!
Stewart, who plays the unlikely hero Arkin in the series, took to Twitter tonight to share a poster for The Collector 3, tweeted out with the simple caption: “Lock the door.”
And no, this isn’t just a cruel joke, as we’ve confirmed part 3 is happening!
Stewart’s Arkin was the sole survivor of the Collector’s wrath in the first film, a sinister maniac who’s fond of rigging up elaborate traps and quite literally collecting his victims… dead and alive. Stewart returned for the sequel, taking the fight to the Collector and ultimately defeating him. Presumably, the new film will pick up where The Collection left off.
Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan co-wrote both films, and Dunstan served as director. We can also exclusively tell you that Dunstan is back to direct the third installment!
More as we learn it…

‘Boorman and the Devil’ Documentary Trailer Chronicles Complicated Relationship with ‘Exorcist II’
Critically acclaimed documentary Boorman and the Devil chronicles how one of the world’s greatest filmmakers made one of the most hated movies ever: Exorcist II: The Heretic. A new trailer highlighting some of the troubled production woes has arrived.
Boorman and the Devil opens at The Quad in NYC on August 28 before opening wider in various cities on September 4, including: Los Angeles, Columbus, Houston, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Seattle and more.
After the success of Point Blank and Deliverance, Warner Brothers offered John Boorman the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to direct a sequel to their smash hit, The Exorcist. The result was one of the biggest disasters in movie history. A critical and financial failure that not only changed how Hollywood did business, but nearly ended Boorman’s filmmaking career… but to be an artist is to be a risk-taker.
Now, John Boorman, Linda Blair, Louise Fletcher, Karyn Kusama, Joe Dante, Mike Flanagan, and more reflect back on the ambition of the film, the artistry and craft, and the value of big creative swings.
“I am beyond thrilled that Yellow Veil has come on board to help us share this story with a larger audience,” said director David Kittredge. “Like myself and the rest of our team, they’re huge cinema-lovers. It’s so exciting that a film which is not only a love letter to John Boorman, but also to ambitious filmmaking, will be handled by people who share the same passions that our team shares.”
“I first saw the film at an early festival screening and the post-screening buzz was just electric. Everyone was loving Boorman and the Devil,” added Yellow Veil co-founder Justin Timms. “To be able to team up with David and the filmmaking team on this release is incredibly exciting, and we can’t wait to spread that post-screening electricity with audiences across the country.”
Boorman and the Devil is produced by Kittredge’s Triple Fire Productions, Travis Stevens (Jodorowsky’s Dune, Starry Eyes) of Snowfort Pictures, and Jim Fall (The Lizzie McGuire Movie), with Alan Koenigsberg of Milton Ventures Media serving as co-producer.
Daniel Kurland wrote in his review, “Boorman and the Devil goes above and beyond to be the definitive text on Exorcist II. This documentary will delight horror and Exorcist fans alike, but it also provides incredible insight for anyone who is just marginally interested in film production.”
