What do we know about the David’s television continued

If there is one thing to guarantee, almost as confidently as the sun rose in the morning, this is that Hollywood will make a continuation of a successful horror movie. Damn, sometimes they will continue in movies that were not successful in the first place because the horror is so free to produce. (Look at “Leprechaun” and its numerous sequel.) Unfortunately, this is not always the case. If that was, we would still have the continuation of “Tucker and Dale against evil.” It turns out we could He had a sequel, not for Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav.

I recently had the opportunity to talk Directed by Eli Craig in honor of her wonderful new movie “Clown on Corn.” During the conversation, we touched upon attempts to get continued our iconic classic “Tucker and Dale” 2011 made over the years. Although he was in the development at different points, he never fully left the ground.

“Honestly,” Tucker and Dale 2 “killed more deaths than children in the college in” Tucker and Dale “,” Craig dropped. “We had so many versions that almost left or for one reason or another. It really returned us that people can’t look at the rental of the movie. “

For those who may need advanced training, the original movie focuses on pairs of friendly hills named Takyer (Alan Tudik) and Dale (Tyler Labin) who are on vacation in the launched mountain cabin when they are mistaken for the killers of the children in college. Bloody and funny yields. Speaking on, Craig showed that they were it’s close To get a sequel made for cable television before the shouted stunted:

“It has always been a struggle, and when we set up it, and we get all the parts together, it is somehow hammered. We almost made a television show that was on TNT/TBS, and you will be glad to find out that David covered, the killer of the entire cinema (laughter), entered and put the last nail in the coffin,” To be attributed to the series, and you can just be attributed to the series and in the series.

While we don’t have time to go to Zaslava’s resume as the head of Warner Bros. Discovery, In recent years he has refused. The most famous is that he gave up the movie “Batgirl” to write down taxes, and the company did the same for “Scoob! Holiday Haunt”. Covered it again with “Coyote vs. Acme”, just for Ketchup Entertainment to save the movie A few months later.

The main thing to understand is that it has sent as hard as any manager in business when it comes to killing projects, no matter where they are in the process. For what it is worth, Craig officially started Development of “Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil 2” Back in 2014. After all, it switched to a small version of the screen a few years. Craig also told me what the show would look like, and it sounds that for the fans of these characters it would be very useful:

“The television show was more like – it would no longer exist – but it was more like a tucker and a Dale, but detectives. Detective Tucker and Dale, like, trying to find out what’s going on in the world where they are always mistaken, and people die around them (…), it was an alan and it was.

Indeed, he was going to force Tudyk and Labine to repress his roles in this television version. It also seems to be a great way to expand these characters through prerequisites. This sounds not unlike what did Syfy and USA Network with TV shows “Chaki” that turned out to be pretty wonderfulAccording to the general consensus.

As for why he had decided to kill the show? Craig did not go into specifics, but these things always come down to dollars and cents. Cable television is a more sophisticated business than if –No in the era streaming and cutting cord, With the viewers each year is served. With Warner Bros. Discovery focused on money saving, they may have viewed it as an investment that was too risky to justify.

Until the early moment Craig “Tucker and Dale”, he was not a hit at all, but in the last decade he has been engaged in life and changed to DVD, Blu-ray and streaming. This is a real iconic classic horror comedyAnd only rental numbers are not a good idea of ​​the potential audience for the continuation of this movie. However, the director also ordered the fans to keep Hope Award:

“It happened through a lot of deaths. There is a part of me that thinks it might be the first and last movie that I was shooting. Maybe I will move on a walk with Takier and Dale, and we like,” We create it! ‘I never let go of the idea we would do.
