Dark Sky Films dropped a little late-day news on us with the announcement of Hatchet 3, based on the success of Hatchet 2‘s VOD and DVD release.
At this time, cast and crew details (including director) are being worked out.
Hatchet creator Adam Green, however, reiterates: “We already had a possible storyline for ‘Hatchet 3’ worked out before we began shooting ‘Hatchet 2,’ so my cast, crew and I are beyond excited to see that the story and legacy of Victor Crowley will indeed continue. For a little indie movie that I dreamt up when I was just eight years old, it has been absolutely surreal to watch it turn into a modern-day slasher franchise.”
Hatchet 3 will continue the saga of Crowley, the “Bayou Butcher,” who first made his gruesome mark in 2007’s Hatchet. Hatchet 3 will continue where the story left off in Hatchet 2.
The threequel is being produced by ArieScope’s Cory Neal, producer of the previous two hits.
