Last week we broke the news on the film, now we just received a very interesting phone call from a reliable source that informs us that writer-director-actor-producer Scott Spiegel is in serious talks to both write and direct Hostel: Part III, which we're told is slated to go direct-to-DVD/Blu-ray. Spiegel is a big genre fav as he produced both HOSTEL and HOSTEL: PART II for Lionsgate and Sony Screen Gems, starred in Raimi's THE EVIL DEAD, wrote and starred in EVIL DEAD II, and has also been part of various other horror projects (check out his IMDB listing). There is still no word on Eli Roth's involvement, but we'll you posted as news comes in and when we can officially confirm Spiegel's involvement.
Didn't Spiegel direct Intruder, that grocery store slasher featuring Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi in supporting roles that Paramount slashed all too fuck before its release? I can't access IMDB at work, so I might be wrong.
He didn't star in Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2... he was only a fake shemp... but yeah, I think it would be cool to have someone well known to the horror genre direct part 3.
A straight to DVD release? Oh man. I know that doesn't always mean a bad thing, but when the third in a successful franchise is sent straight to DVD it probably means it will suck ass
