Roth Readies "Hostel" Follow-Up
by Scott Weinberg | July 06, 2006
Discuss Article
We knew it was being fast-tracked, and now it looks like Eli Roth is all finished with his screenplay for "Hostel 2." The sequel will go into production this September, and the young horror freak will be shooting in Prague, the Czech Republic, and maybe Slovakia -- even though that country is still a little steamed over the first "Hostel."

From Production Weekly: "Reiterating that the sequel would focus on three females, he added that it will be darker than the original. "The first 'Hostel' is a journey into hell that starts off fun," he said. "Part 2 is going to start off scary and stay creepy all the way through. I want it to feel like the movie is going to pick up on the next cut, as if you could watch the two movies back-to-back and it would be a three-hour movie. There will be some new things thrown in there but it has to look and feel like that movie."

Jay Hernandez will be returning for the sequel.

The first Hostel was uninspired . . . but certainly not the worst thing I ever saw.

Introducing three female leads will either work in a nice semi-genre-busting way, or it will smell up the river.

I suspect the former . . . and this should be a sequel that surpasses the original by a decent margin.

I thought Roth was doing a project with the Donnie Darko guy, not some lame sequel. I did like Roth b/c I though he was different. Obviously, I was wrong.

If anything Saw was better than Hostel, even the sequel was cool.

I used to think Eli Roth was promising when Cabin fever came out but Hostel was lame and he has got to be the biggest and most annoying self publicist there is out there, just watch one of his interviews that guy won't stop!
