Yes. Please?! Devon Sawa Says He’d Love to Make a Sequel to ‘Idle Hands’

Published

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!

Kristen Stewart Doesn’t Want to Make Any Marvel Movies But Does Want to Make a Scary Horror Movie

If you haven’t yet seen A24 and Saint Maud director Rose Glass’ new movie Love Lies Bleeding, you should definitely get out there and support it in theaters while you can. The critically acclaimed romantic thriller is one of this year’s best movies so far, driven by incredible lead performances from Katy O’Brian and the always compelling Kristen Stewart.

Katy O’Brian just landed a huge role in Mission Impossible 8, but what’s next for Kristen Stewart? Well, for starters, don’t expect to see her in any Marvel movies anytime soon.

Stewart tells the “Not Skinny but Not Fat” podcast, “I will likely never do a Marvel movie … it sounds like a fucking nightmare, actually.” She further explains, “You would have to put so much money and so much trust into one person … and it doesn’t happen.”

And so therefore what ends up happening is this algorithmic, weird experience where you can’t feel personal at all about it. So likely not,” Kristen Stewart continues in her chat with the podcast. “But maybe the world changes, that’s what I’m saying.” She notes, however, “if Greta Gerwig asked me to do a Marvel movie, then I would do it.”

So what DOES Kristen Stewart want to do next? Chatting with Variety on the red carpet just a couple months back, she indicated that she’s far more interested in horror than Marvel!

I’d like to make a good scary movie,” Stewart answered when asked what she’d like to do next. “Like something a little more psychological. Yeah, a really good horror movie.”

Kristen Stewart is of course no stranger to the horror/thriller genres, getting her start as a child actor in David Fincher’s Panic Room. From there, she starred in 2007 horror movie The Messengers, as well as the Twilight movies, ghost story Personal Shopper, and 2018’s Lizzie. And don’t forget 2020’s Underwater or David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future.

The ball is in your court, filmmakers. Let’s make it happen.
