One of the best films to arrive on DVD last year was Brookstreet Pictures' Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer, a film loaded with blood, guts and laughs. Today the producers posted an update that confirm that Jon Knautz, Brendan Moore and Trevor Matthews are all re-teaming for Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer 2. In addition, they reveal another project in the works. You can read about in beyond the break.
From the Brookstreet Pictures blog:
"Hello Myspace Friends and Fiends,
We are busy despite the silence, and now it's time to holla at the world, and tell you what's new in our rotation. First up, Jon Knautz and Brendan Moore along with Trevor Matthews created the outline for Jack Brooks 2. The script is well under way, and coming along nicely. Now, it is quite good if we do say so ourselves. It should be a hit in the eyes of anyone who belongs to any of the following camps when it came to JB:MS:
a) I loved it. It was magical.
b) I really liked it, but a little too slow to build
c) Dammit, I wanted to like it. Really I did. But I needed the goods (ie. You know... monster slaying) A LOT sooner.
So if you belong to column A,B, or C I think we've got what you're looking for in spades.
We also have a film deep in the script stages and we WILL be shooting this new film in the summer of '09. It's a straight horror film this time around. It revolves around a group of journalists who go to investigate a small village in Europe where human sacrifice is reputed to still go on. It's dark and brutal like a Dethklok song."
Jack Brooks was one of my faves of last year, I can't wait for a new one! The other one sounds cool too. I can't wait to see what you guys churn out in the year to come!
I agree it was one of my faves of 08 also, and I still think it should have received more love than it got, I mean not even a honorable mention in all of the end of year best lists.
I liked the first one, but it definitely wasn't as great as I was lead to believe. Wasn't enough gore, monsters or monster slaying! Hopefully the sequel will be awesome.
GREAT NEWS!!! ... First film was a blast and always nice to see a film not take its self to serious. Much like the FEAST series it will only get better with each new chapter.
PS ... I'm sure if Hollywood picks up on the success of the second film, a remake will be scheduled sometime in the future.
That's awesome! I can't wait to see how the jock prick will prevail again! /sarcasm.
Tim and I walked out of our screening of this movie, partly because we had been awake for 24 hours, but also because this movie was a HUGE letdown. Jack Brooks is the last character I ever want to see in a hero's role.
cheese-tastic this sould be fun the movie wasnt the greatest the monsters were a little rubbery, but goddamn was it funny. Plus nothin better than a canadian tryin to hide his accent until he has to say house or about. Funny, funny.
I wish my plumber was that hot. I'd find more drains to unplug on a weekly basis. Can't wait - totally loved how he kicked some major ass in the last part of the film and got rid of that ridiculous girlfriend! :o)
