After the smash opening box-office weekend for HOSTEL (final tally: $19.6 million), it’s no surprise that Variety reports a sequel is in the works. Writer/director Eli Roth is in talks to return on the follow-up, which, like the original film, will be released by Lionsgate but produced by Screen Gems, which will retain international theatrical and U.S. home video rights. Plans are to get the second HOSTEL into theaters a year from now (similar to the successful turnaround on Lionsgate’s SAW sequel); producers Mike Fleiss and Chris Biggs are also in discussions to encore. Executive producer/presenter Quentin Tarantino’s involvement is still a question mark.
