WOLF CREEK Director Talks About Upcoming Sequel

A couple of days ago we learned that not only director Greg Mclean will be returning to direct Wolf Creek 2, but actor John Jarratt will be repirsing his creepy role as well.  Wolf Creek , “the little Aussie that could”, was released in major theaters in 2005 (just a few weeks prior to Hostel’s wide release) without having any “Hollywood” actors and being an Australian horror film.  Upon its release, the majority of horror fans collectively agreed, that John Jarratt’s character Mick Taylor was certainly a force to be reckoned with.  So, it was a welcome relief to hear that the director and star are attached to the upcoming sequel.  In a new interview with the Moviehole, the director reveals his thoughts on the tone of the sequel and the return of his leading man. You can find excerpts from the interview byond the break.

The folks over at Moviehole got an exclusive interview with director Greg Mclean.  Hear is what he has to say.

”Indeed, we’ve been working on a Wolf Creek 2 script for a few years now, pushing hard to get it just right to make it as powerful and surprising a movie experience as possible.”

“This one’s a little wider in scope and we get to see Mick Taylor return in full terrifying glory across the lonely wastes of the Outback. We’re hoping to shoot next year and everyone involved is psyched to be seeing John Jarratt reprise Mick. And at the end of the day, from a directors point of view, he’s too fascinating and chilling a character to not explore the darkest depths of. And his depths, as you’ll see in the new film, are pretty damn dark…”

Sounds promising.  I am sure it will be another dark and gory return to the outback.
