Lionsgate Shooting Down ‘My Bloody Valentine 3D’ Sequel, says Director

my-bloody-valentine1

Director Patrick Lussier, speaking at the Fangoria Weekend of Horrors in LA, said this past weekend that Lionsgate has no interest in putting together a sequel to ‘My Bloody Valentine 3D.’

According to Lussier, the studio was surprised at the film’s success at the box office, but doesn’t want to develop a follow-up and would prefer to leave the film as a one-shot.   Lussier’s film, released on January 16th, has made $71.8 million worldwide off of a $15 million budget.

Just days after ‘My Bloody Valentine 3D’ came out, Lussier and writer Todd Farmer mentioned to Chud.com that they had mapped out a continuation of the film.   Perhaps Lussier and Farmer can shop the idea for a sequel around Hollywood, but there’s no telling what Lionsgate will make of this if the sequel ideas actually get bites.   We’ll keep you posted.

What do you think?   Should a sequel to ‘My Bloody Valentine 3D’ get made?   Is Lionsgate making the right decision in keeping the film as a one-shot?   Let us know by commenting below!

Could ‘Saw’ Go 3D?

With the success of ‘My Bloody Valentine 3D’, you just knew it was a matter of time before more horror flicks got released in 3D. Â  The first, in what I’m sure will be a long line of horror franchises, to mull about the idea is ‘Saw’.

At a sold-out screening in Los Angeles for ‘Repo!’, the producers expressed their interest in taking the franchise to the 3D realm. Â  This probably won’t happen for ‘Saw VI’, but it may just get put into the inevitable ‘Saw VII’.

Again, this is just a few producers who are mulling around an idea. Â  Nothing is definite. Â  However, rest assured that the age of 3D horror has officially begun.
