SD Comic-Con ’10: Adam Green – ‘Hatchet 2 Is Pure, 100% Me’
Talking exclusively to Bloody Disgusting following his epic, WAYYY unrated panel (featuring EIGHT deaths!), Adam Green promised that Hatchet 2 is 100% un-compromised (and that includes going out unrated!). “I had complete creative control this time. You notice that my name is above the title now – that’s not a ‘status’ thing. It’s the fact that nobody said anything; I had no script notes, no cast notes, no anything. Everyone was involved, but I had final say. This movie is pure, 100% me, and that was something I couldn’t pass up. Everything else I do is not really like that. So this was a good opportunity – the movie itself is exactly what I wanted it to be.” Green also promises that we will be seeing a teaser trailer very soon, and that both 3 and 4 are still in the cards. Look for the full interview later this week!
A bedtime lullaby soothes an unsettling newborn in our exclusive clip from Nightborn, from Hatching filmmaker Hanna Bergholm.
The dark fable makes its debut on Shudder on July 31.
Seidi Haarla (Compartment No. 6) and Rupert Grint (Knock at the Cabin, “Servant”) star as new parents in Nightborn, and this exclusive clip highlights mom’s harrowing transition into motherhood.
In Nightborn, “With dreams of starting a perfect family, Saga and her British husband Jon move to the isolated house where she spent much of her childhood, deep in the Finnish forest. But as soon as their baby is born, despite the reassurance of all around her, Saga knows there’s something terribly wrong with her son. As their marriage starts to crack, Jon struggles to support his wife, but only Saga suspects the terrible truth about her newborn.”
Pamela Tola, Pirkko Saisio, Rebecca Lacey and John Thomson also star.
Bergholm teased of her maternal horror movie, “In Nordic countries, there’s a long-standing mythology of trolls living in the forests. In ancient times, people truly believed that trolls inhabited the woods and had a kind of control over nature. And in Nightborn, the forest reflects Saga’s emotions and the animalistic, primitive physical side of humankind.”
“Hanna Bergholm’s audacious sophomore follow up to Hatching delivers tension and shocking moments surrounding parenthood and self discovery — with a touch of humor,” said Emily Gotto, senior vice president of acquisitions and production at Shudder. “We are thrilled to share Nightborn with audiences.”
