Update: Will There Be a Sequel to ‘Deadgirl’?
Update: Sources tell us this report is quite far off as the plot actually follows a group of females who find the same “zombie” girl from the first film.”
The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the controversial horror thriller Deadgirl could have a sequel in development… only this story is extremely prematurely.
The film — about two teenagers who discover a zombified naked girl in the bowels of an abandoned mental institution and lose their moral compasses in the process — first screened at the Toronto film festival in 2008. Marcel Sarmiento and Gadi Harel directed the grimy black script from Trent Haaga.
The site reported in from SXSW where they heard that Haaga has written a screenplay for a sequel in response to the backlash from women who found the film misogynistic. This time? It’s girls who find a naked guy. Presumably, they make different choices than the guys did in the same situation, but here’s one instance where a sequel could actually help further define and illuminate the issues raised in the first film.
We checked in with multiple sources close to the film who all couldn’t comment at this time.
Sophie Thatcher stars in Nicolas Winding Refn’s Her Private Hell, and a brand new official poster this week celebrates the fact that we’re just one week from the film’s release.
Nicolas Winding Refn’s Her Private Hell will be released in theaters July 24 via Neon.
Check out the new poster down below.
In the film, when a mysterious mist engulfs a futuristic metropolis, unleashing a deadly and elusive entity, a troubled young woman searches for her father. Her quest collides with an American GI on a harrowing odyssey to rescue his daughter from Hell.
Sophie Thatcher (“Yellowjackets”), Charles Melton (“Riverdale”), Kristine Froseth (How to Blow Up a Pipeline), Havana Rose Liu (No Exit), and Diego Calva (Babylon) star.
The ensemble also includes Dougray Scott (Hitman), Aoi Yamada (Perfect Days), Shioli Kutsuna (Deadpool & Wolverine), and Hidetoshi Nishijima (Shin Ultraman).
Nicolas Winding Refn directs Her Private Hell from a script he co-wrote with Esti Giordani (“Vida”). Pino Donaggio (Carrie, Don’t Look Now) composed the score.
Refn produces under his byNWR Originals banner. Executive producers include Takuma Takasaki, Kimberly Willming, Christina Erritzøe, and Lene Børglum.
Her Private Hell is rated ‘R’ for “some strong/bloody violence, sexual content, and language.”
