It's too bad we're stuck here in the States while Eli Roth is out in Prague shooting Hostel: Part II, the sequel to his smash hit horror film that kick-started the new wave of torture/horror films (or Horror Porn if you must) that have been overflowing the industry in the past year. But God bless the internet and its infinite power as we've received word from the writer/director directly from the set in Prague! Read on for a quick update and a fun little story about KNB!
Eli writes in:
"I can't say much, but we filmed a scene the other night and Mike McCarty from KNB said that all his life people have asked him if he's ever been disturbed filming a scene, and until now he's said no. When the KNB guys can't watch, you know you're on the right track. I'm so happy with how the film's coming along and I can't wait for the fans to see it. It's going to be horrifying. I was a little concerned about topping the first one in terms of violence, but after what we've shot this week that's not even an issue.
I also wanted to say how honored I am to be the top movie on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments: Even Scarier Movie Moments. Or whatever the title is, I'm not sure, I didn't see it, I just got a bunch of e-mails about it tonight. I know those lists don't mean much, but it's nice to be recognized for the work you do and it can help bring in new audience members who might not have seen it otherwise. It's just a great feeling to be included with the other people on that list. So thank you to all the fans for your continued support and keep fighting the good fight for more original, balls to the wall horror.
Thanks!
Eli
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.
The film stars Jay Hernandez, Lauren German, Heather Matarazzo, Bijou Phillips, Vera Jordanova, Roger Bart, Richard Burgi, Milan Knazko and Stanislav Ianevski.
Oh I cant wait the first Hostel was wicked but to hear Eli Roth say"It's going to be horrifying. I was a little concerned about topping the first one in terms of violence, but after what we've shot this week that's not even an issue." I can tell this movie is going to be great
