‘Hatchet’ Going On Theatrical Tour for 10th Anniversary
Never got to see Hatchet on the big screen? You may soon get the chance.
As we announced last week, a very special 10th anniversary screening of Adam Green’s Hatchet is taking place at next month’s UK FrightFest, where a never-seen version of the throwback slasher film will be shown to the festival audience.
And don’t worry, US fans. That same event is also going on tour!
The announcement was made on the Ariescope blog today…
“This is merely the first official ’10th Anniversary Event’ screening date of many to be announced, so please be patient! Due to writer/director’s Adam Green’s many obligations and extremely difficult schedule with current projects such as finishing post-production on his upcoming new film (details coming later this year), developing/shooting two new television projects, the forthcoming SCARY SLEEPOVER ‘Christmas Special’ (12/15/17), the next issues of the HATCHET & HOLLISTON comics, a novel he is finishing writing, the weekly MOVIE CRYPT podcast, writing/rehearsing the next season of HOLLISTON, and even more new, fun stuff that we can’t announce just yet… scheduling and committing to tour dates and appearances has never been harder to accomplish. But fear not! As the Fall gets closer more and more cities and dates will start being announced and man do we have some great stuff planned!”
“Very few details about the special anniversary version of HATCHET that Green (and surprise guests) will be screening in London will be revealed beforehand other than the fact that fans will be treated to never before seen footage and will also (very likely) get a sneak preview of a little something special from Green’s still untitled forthcoming new film (due out at the end of 2017) before the HATCHET screening begins. Rather than spoil any of the surprises in advance we’re just going to let the fans in London see for themselves! YES, the same footage shown at FrightFest will be shown at every stop on the ’10th Anniversary’ tour this Fall so don’t worry if you can’t physically be there.”

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
