It's been reported that Eli Roth plans to do a gender-switch on "Hostel 2." Where the first flick dealt with three doomed dudes, the sequel will focus on three freaked-out females. And it looks like those ladies have been chosen...

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Lauren German, Heather Matarazzo and Bijou Phillips are in varying stages of negotiations to star in "Hostel 2," which Eli Roth is directing for Screen Gems. The first "Hostel," which was released this year and grossed about $50 million domestically, followed three men who end up in a Slovakian hostel which serves as a front for an organization specializing in torture. This time, the story follows three women who, while studying abroad for the summer, learn the grim truth behind the Slovakian hostel and its international counterparts. German would play a wealthy girl trying to figure out her next step in life, Phillips would be her best friend and Matarazzo will be a tag-along."

Earlier reports indicate that Jay Hernandez will be returning for the sequel, if only for a couple of scenes.

Just what we need--another lame "horror" movie that puts me to sleep. The first one sucked anus. Now we're going to be subjected to one that sucks box?

This next one sounds like a gimmick. This is what they came up with for a sequel? "oh, it'll be girls this time." I didn't think that the first one was terrible but it sounds like no one should care about this.

the first one worked for me because of its humour and the "looney tunes" score. i'll see this one for matarazzo but im more used to her comedy. if she is a "tag along" then it sounds like she'll get it first.
