Lussier and Farmer Already Planning ‘My Bloody Valentine 2’

Patrick Lussier, the director behind ‘My Bloody Valentine 3D’, sat down with Chud.com last week in promotion for the film. Â  In the interview, he commented on what could be planned for a potential sequel.

Here’s a segment from that interview:

One of the other things I like about this film is that – without spoiling it – you leave a legitimate sequel opening at the end. You don’t end it in a way that you’ll have to figure out a trick or a cheat to have a Part 2. Are you going to be coming back for the sequel?

If the movie takes off, Todd (Farmer) and I have mapped out a whole continuing adventures.

One of the things you mentioned about the film is the mystery, and by the end of the movie the mystery is solved, so –

Oh no, we have figured out a way of injecting several twists and turns in the continuing adventure. Even though the mystery is solved there are still things to learn and things to know and things that are unexpected and reversals of fortune that happens to those who survive. We had great fun doing it because if you’re going to do it, you don’t want to retread what you’ve just done – you want to take it in a new direction. But at the same time, you want to do all those things people have fun with. And the mystery is one of those things and, you’re right – how do you have a mystery when you already know the answer? Well, we’ve figured out a way.

Sounds promising. Â  With a 4-day total of $24.2 million, it looks like the potential of a sequel is definitely getting better.

Here’s the one we made especially for you!

Send your special someone a bloody valentine right here.

‘My Bloody Valentine 3D’ comes out January 16th.


Is Lionsgate in Financial Trouble?

This past Tuesday investment bank Caris & Co downgraded shares in Lionsgate stock from “buy” to “above average”. Â  The reasoning? Â  The less than desirable opening for ‘The Spirit’, which pulled in only $10.4 million over the Christmas weekend. Â  As of January 4th, it had made an estimated $17.7 million domestic.

This comes hot off the heels of another Lionsgate flop, ‘Punisher: War Zone’, which made $8.8 million worldwide, had an estimated budget of $35 million, and was pulled from theaters faster than ludicrous speed.

“Explanation for the weakness came primarily from a smattering of negative reviews, coupled with heavy competition from ‘Marley & Me’, which opened with a stellar $37.0 million in gross receipts,” Caris analyst David Miller said in a message to clients.

Miller went on to say that the future health of Lionsgate might well be tied to the release of ‘My Bloody Valentine 3D’ which opens on January 16th. Â  

Lionsgate’s co-chief operating officer Joe Drake said in a New York Times interview about ‘My Bloody Valentine 3D’, “We see 3-D horror as financially lucrative and creatively exciting. We want to break some new ground here in R-rated fare.”

Lionsgate might be able to hold out until ‘Saw VI’, scheduled for release next October. Â  Unfortunately, that franchise might be slipping financially, as ‘Saw V’ ended up being the worst performer in the series since the first one in 2004. Â  Still, ‘Saw V’ made $103 millions worldwide off a $10.8 million budget.

What do you think? Â  Is Lionsgate in financial trouble? Â  Will ‘My Bloody Valentine 3D’ make as much as they expect? Â  Is ludicrous speed really that fast? Â  Let us know by commenting below!

‘My Bloody Valentine’ Not 3D On All Screens

We know that the perfect date movie this coming January is gonna be to take your girl, go to the theater, buy some hot popcorn, put on a pair of 3D glasses, and watch a pickaxe wielding miner take out some annoying teenagers. Â  Well, there’s one step in that equation that you may wanna check up on before running out to your local theater.

‘My Bloody Valentine’ will not be running in 3D on all screens. Â  I know that this is kind of a no-brainer, but we here at We Are Movie Geeks feel we should warn you beforehand. Â  A recent article ran in the New York Times about the verging element of seeing your favorite horror films in 3D. Â  In the article, they mention ‘My Bloody Valentine’, but they also mention the film will only be showing in 3D on about 900. Â  The lack of theaters equipped to project the film in 3D will leave another 1600 screens that will show the film in 2D.

If you want a 3D Jensen Ackles, just be sure to check with your theater before running out and buying your ticket.

New poster for ‘My Bloody Valentine 3-D’

So, here’s a look at the new “teaser” poster for the ‘My Bloody Valentine 3-D’ remake, due out in theaters on January 16, 2009. I wouldn’t have known it if I hadn’t been told… What a crumby poster! The worst part of it is that it doesn’t even look like a movie poster, but more like an advertisement for the “new” 3-D technology that’s rapidly becoming more popular. Oh, wait… there’s nothing new about that. It’s an old fad reaching it’s second coming. Sort of like bell bottoms…

There’s nothing at all to signify this is a poster for ‘My Bloody Valentine’… no title, no date, not even a “coming soon” and what about the image screams the title? Maybe if I stretch it far enough it’s that lots of people take their Valentine’s date to a movie… that’s lame! Oh, I get it now. The “glass” theater screen is being busted by something large and abstract that I believe is supposed to be a pick axe, as if you couldn’t tell at first glance. This is simply a case of failed concept and poor design.

UPDATE:

Okay, so that image above was just a little teaser showing some of the poster art.   The real poster complete with title and coming soon is below.   Still sucks.
