Adam Green brought back old school American horror in 2006 with Hatchet and today he along with Kane Hodder, Danielle Harris and Tony Todd turned Room 32AB at Comic-Con into a blood and guts covered introduction for the upcoming release of Hatchet II.
Panel Highlights:
Unfortunately, Tony Todd was not in attendance due to a family emergency.
HATCHET II will be released theatrically UNRATED thanks to the promise of a major theater chain agreeing to show the movie. This is a first for a horror movie to be released in theaters in an unrated version.
Danielle Harris auditioned for a role in HATCHET but didn't get it. She then auditioned for EVERY AVAILABLE ROLE in HATCHET II and landed the part of the main chick.
Eight people died in HATCHET. Seventeen people die in HATCHET II.
According to Kane Hodder, HATCHET II is the best horror movie he's ever been in.
Footage screened featured a spear to the head, a face sliced off, a head cut in half, two people cut in half with a 12 foot chainsaw, a guy getting curbed and having his face get sliced in half... and so much more. It was great!
HATCHET II hits theaters October 1, 2010.
*How pretty is Danielle Harris!*
Some cool news to sidenote, the MPAA wants "certain" scenes completely cut from the film meaning the scenes are too gory or too, well you get my drift. But one certsain theater chain which wants to remain unnamed for now will show Hatchet II uncut and unrated! This is cool and how it should be! Bring on the blood, gore and boobs! Yes!
