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.

Direct to dvd doesn't show much confidence in him or the movie...

Scotty is doing the third? Fuck yeah! Maybe this will be good after all. :)

And yes Rip, Scott did indeed direct "Intruder".

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.

I love how they refer to the stand-ins as fake shemps in those movies.

I'm not sure you can say that someone who is credited as "Fake Shemp" starred in anything.

Fuck yeah, I'll buy this on the launch day. I loved Hostel, and liked Hostel Part II alot. Spiegel directing could be really cool.

He directed "FROM DUSK TILL DAWN 2", which was a shitty, shitty DTV sequel.

Not as bad as 3. That one just flat out blew chunks. And he also directed the remake of "Modesty Blaise", which kicked ass.

i hope that roth has some sort of involvment. that'd be sad if he wasn't.

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

Honestly, Eli is probably done with the Hostel franchize, and now it could very well turn into hack'n'slash movie without any substance. Who ever does it next will have to keep a good story line to keep you drawn in of it will just suck, (kinda like the remake to "My bloody valientine") that movie blew donkey balls...
