First we brought you all of the casting news for Ti West's (The Roost) third feature film Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever exclusively (here) on B-D, now we've got some interesting word from set. With only a week left to shoot, a B-D reader sent in a little report from the set of the film, who says over 200 gallons of blood have been used thus far! Read on for the skinny and a link to a bunch of set pics. In the sequel, the killer virus comes out of the woods and has a date at the high school prom.
Johnny Axemurderer writes in:
"I just got back from a grueling trip to North Carolina - to see the action on CABIN FEVER 2: SPRING FEVER. The locals have been fucking amazing - aside from being kicked out (seriously) of two schools for obscene bloody action - the third is the charm - they love it.
On the night I arrived - Ti West (the director) was bowling with the crew at 10 pins lanes on the only night off - and bowled an amazing 11 games - but up the next morning to shoot the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in person.
I can tell you that Justin and Ozzy from Creation FX have pulled out the stops with Ti on this one. With still a week of shooting left - they have gone through TWO HUNDRED GALLONS of BLOOD. No f-cking joke! When I heard that - I thought of you."
Holy mother of God, 200 gallons of blood?! It sounds like Lionsgate has really given West a free hand on this one, hopefully it'll turn out as amazing as it sounds.
In addition to this news, if you click here you can check out a dozen behind-the-scenes photos from set. Thanks to Joey M. for the heads up.
The sequel stars Judah Friedlander, Larry Fessenden, Alexi Wasser, Rider Strong, Giuseppe Andrews, Rusty Kelley, Marc Senter and Mark Borchardt.
More news as it comes in. Watch for CABIN FEVER 2 in theaters later this year.
