Yes. Please?! Devon Sawa Says He’d Love to Make a Sequel to ‘Idle Hands’
We recently celebrated the 20th(!) anniversary of director Rodman Flender’s wacky horror-comedy Idle Hands as part of our ongoing We Love ’90s Horror column, with Drew Dietsch revisiting the 1999 film and calling it “lovably dimwitted and surprisingly gory.” Drew continued, “[it’s] a movie that really does capture the childish fun of horror and Halloween.”
I’m in complete agreement with Drew on all that, and sure would love to see a sequel someday. As it turns out, so too would the film’s star, Devon Sawa. In a new chat with ComicBook.com, Sawa said that he’d agree to reprise the role of Anton Tobias – whose right hand becomes possessed with murderous intent in the late 90s film – “in a heartbeat.”
“If there was one film that I want to do a sequel to that would be the one,” Sawa told the site.
“That set was, between Elden [Henson], and Seth Green, and Vivica Fox, [Jessica] Alba, Jack Noseworthy, and all those people, it was like summer camp and it was so much fun.”
Sawa continued, “I would love that to happen but unfortunately the first one didn’t… I think it broke even or something like that, but you never know. You never know.”
As we’ve learned, ANYTHING is possible these days. Let’s make it happen!

‘Clayface’ Official Trailer – DC’s Body Horror Movie Gives Rise to Gotham’s Shape-Shifting Monster
Warner Bros. and DC have released the brand new official trailer for Clayface, which will bring a whole lot of body horror mayhem into the DC Universe this coming Halloween season.
Watch the official Clayface trailer below and see the film in theaters October 23.
Tom Rhys Harries stars in the title role of the cult favorite villain from Gotham’s rogues gallery.
Described as DC Studios’ first-ever foray into the genre, Clayface unravels one man’s horrifying descent from rising Hollywood star to revenge-filled monster in a story that explores the loss of one’s identity and humanity, corrosive love, and the dark underbelly of scientific ambition.
Here’s the new official synopsis: “Matt Hagen’s meteoric rise from Gotham street kid to Hollywood leading man is tragically cut short when a local crime boss’s actions leave him horribly disfigured. Abandoned by his team and with nothing left, Matt seeks out a cutting edge treatment that miraculously returns him to his former self… but also unexpectedly affects his grip on reality, spiraling him down a destructive path of all-consuming revenge.”
James Watkins (The Woman in Black, Speak No Evil) directs from a script by Mike Flanagan (“The Haunting of Hill House,” Doctor Sleep) and Hossein Amini (Drive).
James Gunn’s DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran previously called Clayface “an incredible body horror film that reveals a compelling origin of a classic Batman villain.”
The upcoming Clayface horror movie from DC also stars Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella and Eddie Marsan, as well as Nancy Carroll and Joshua James.
