I suppose at this year's Toronto International Film Festival Midnight Madness screenings we'll all have to start referring to programmer Colin Geddes as Mr. Producer Man. Yep, in a deal that's been brewing for a while - and that Geddes has been involved with from day one - ultra-gorey Thai horror film Art of the Devil 2 have been picked up for English language remake by Cerenzie-Peters Productions. Don't let the fact that it's the second film in the franchise that's been picked up throw you - the first part isn't much good at all and the far superior second film actually has no story relationship to the first whatsoever, so this will be starting from the beginning of a story rather than the middle. No word on how hard they plan on making the remake but, really, this is all about the splatter so I can't imagine why anybody would by it to strip the gore out ...
You'll find trailer for the recent third installment in the Twitch Player below the break. And Geddes ... next time we go out, you're buying.
You see the first one or the sequels? The first one's pretty crappy, the sequels are crazy gorey.
Another Asian horror film that is going to be butchered by the xenophobic Hollywood film industry. Its as if all they can do nowadays is loads of superhero movies and remakes of Asian horror movies. No originality whatsoever
Todd > only the first one.
I might give the sequels a chance if they're gorey...
