In a recent interview, Mick Taylor himself, John Jarrett, has revealed some details of what we can expect from the sequel to 2005’s Wolf Creek.
I liked the divisive 2005 Aussie shocker Wolf Creek, a film that doesn't necessarily lend itself too easily to a sequel. But a follow-up does appear to be on the cards, as during the promotion of his latest film, Needle, John Jarrett (Wolf Creek’s antagonist Mick Taylor) has revealed some details of what we can expect.
"It's more of a road film this time with a lot of chasing going on everything from cars to horses.”
"There's also a chase that ends up back in a cave, his lair. And of course, there's plenty of blood and guts."
"We're getting to throw trucks off cliffs and a bunch of other stuff I can't talk about.”
The sequel is set to focus on one backpacker, rather than a group, this time around in search of an authentic Australian adventure. But they soon get much more than they had anticipated as they encounter the outback serial-killer Mick Taylor.
The film is scheduled to begin shooting in February next year and is slated for a 2013 release, with Greg McLean returning to direct, this time with a much greater budget it should be noted. Still, part of the original's achievement was that it's quite obviously a low budget film. And, as is the case with many debut horror features, a lot is achieved for not a great deal of money. More cash doesn't, necessarily, mean a better end product. Here's hoping Wolf Creek 2 doesn't fall into that trap.
More on the film as we get it.
