A report from Variety today quotes director and creator of the Hostel franchise Eli Roth as saying “Hostel III is all but signed.” This early news comes much before the April 5th, 2007 release of Roth’s Hostel II that just recently wrapped filming. Final decisions and more official announcements are likely to come after Hostel II’s opening weekend, where its financial success is to be determined. However it does have its loyal fans and there’s always room for more horror films! Production will likely begin after Roth finishes filming Stephen King’s The Cell sometime next year.
No, that doesn’t mean they’re negotiating with Quentin Tarantino for another. Though the advertising might lead you to believe Hostel is a Tarantino film, his name attachment is little more than a cheap marketing gimmick. Cabin Fever’s Eli Roth is the man behind the horror and Variety says he’s already in talks with LG and Screen Gems to do a Hostel 2.
Hostel 2 did not fare as well at the box office as its predecessor Hostel ($47.3 Million). The film did make a profit however, because of its low production costs and $10 Million budget.
