We broke the news (here) last week that Eli Roth's Hostel 2 won't be finished until Spring '07, which means casting was just about to be announced. Today trio of female leads were officially cast in Screen Gems/Lionsgate's highly anticipated sequel, which will be moving from its January '07 date to a later one (October anyone?). In the first film three males were the victims of the Hostel, whle in this one three somen will lead the way. Read on for the casting news...
Lauren German, Heather Matarazzo and Bijou Phillips are in varying stages of negotiations to star in "Hostel 2," which Eli Roth is directing for Screen Gems, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The first "Hostel," which was released this year and grossed about $50 million domestically, followed three men who end up in a Slovakian hostel which serves as a front for an organization specializing in torture. This time, the story follows three women who, while studying abroad for the summer, learn the grim truth behind the Slovakian hostel and its international counterparts. German would play a wealthy girl trying to figure out her next step in life, Phillips would be her best friend and Matarazzo will be a tag-along.
