Alone in the Dark II Rounds Out Its Cast
In other news, eight agents need to be fired.
It's official: There is literally nothing -- no amount of critical savagery, no amount of commercial indifference -- that can prevent a film from spawning a sequel. And here, as irrefutable proof, is a news item about Alone in the Dark II.
First, the good news: Uwe Boll will only be producing this time around, Tara Reid will not star as an archaeologist, and the film will be released direct to video. Now, the bad news: According to Bloody-Disgusting, there really will be an Alone in the Dark II, and it will star Bill Moseley, Danny Trejo, Michael Pare, Rachel Specter, Rick Yune, Lance Henriksen, Ralf Moeller, and Dee Wallace. Set to direct the sequel -- which, according to the article, "finds a group of hunters seeking out a witch" -- are screenwriters Michael Roesch and Peter Scheerer.
The first Alone in the Dark film, which loosely adapted the popular series of videogames, stands at 1 percent on the Tomatometer, and grossed less than $6 million domestically.

on Aug 13 2007 06:27 AM Uwe Boll really doesn't know when to stop, does he? (Reply to this) |
on Aug 13 2007 07:12 AM In reply to this comment (#1034443) Considering he should have stopped before he began I guess the answer is no. (Reply to this) |

on Aug 13 2007 07:53 AM Man, Bloodrayne AND Alone in the Dark were two of the worst sci-fi movies I've seen, ever! Luckily, they were both on basic cable and I didn't rent them. And neither of those movies, when I watched them, did I know who was directing until I paid attention to the first credits at the end. Needless to say, I'll be paying more attention to Uwe Boll projects in the future, to stay away as much as possible. (Reply to this) |

on Aug 13 2007 08:10 AM If it's direct to video, it will be harmless enough. At least we won't be bombarded with television ads for this one. Let them get it out of their system, and then life can continue normally. (Reply to this) |

on Aug 13 2007 08:14 AM Poor Bill Moseley he's a great horror actor. Too bad no one rarely casts him in good roles to show that off (except for Rob Zombie, of course). Same with Sid Haig. Great actors, but I wish people casted them more. (Reply to this) |

on Aug 13 2007 08:40 AM wow, this guy made all those movies? i've heard the name but never knew what he did, wow...he sucks. i didn't realize he made such treasures as House of the Dead AND bloodrayne as well. i remember Alone wasn't THAT bad but...phew, what moron would give this guy any money to make a movie? he's the reason horror movies are so hard to choose at da Busta. there are so many that are absolute garbage...

on Aug 13 2007 09:33 AM Is this really film news? I saw the first one on dvd..... MY GOD!!! I almost armed myself up like rambo and destroyed blockbusters!!!!! They let me pay to rent that crap!!! (Reply to this) |

on Aug 13 2007 09:44 AM God, I cant believe hes also on the helm of Far Cry. Far cry is the perfect idea for a movie adaptation, so is resident evil where are the real directors? All these games have great stories yet they keep letting this guy and other idiots ruin them and stamp the series with a pile of crap. (Reply to this) |

on Aug 13 2007 10:54 AM I weep for what has become of Lance Henricksen's career. What happened, Lance? Why do you keep doing all this straight-to-video garbage? Why do I keep spotting you in god-freaking-awful Sci-Fi Channel originals about Bigfoot? How is it possible that Alien vs. Predator was a recent career HIGHLIGHT? And now Uwe Boll? It's time for an intervention, people. Lance needs our help. And where's James Cameron? He needs to swing in heroically on a vine and offer Lance a part in Avatar. We've got to save Lance from himself ... or from whoever keeps forging his name on these contracts! (Reply to this) |

on Aug 13 2007 11:03 AM the re-interpretation of classic RE (1-3) was great! I always thought that Alone in the dark was a cheap direct to video in my first viewing, which is why i gave it so much leverage. It certainly doesn't hold up to any large screen cinematic standards, so what were the big-wigs thinking when they wide released it? Madness . How could we be so stupid to actually patronize the cinemas when that was showing. (Reply to this) |
on Aug 13 2007 11:06 AM Alone in the Dark 2! You can learn more about this film on whogivesa****.com (Reply to this) |
on Aug 13 2007 11:14 AM Oh...GOD. (Reply to this) |
on Aug 13 2007 12:41 PM What the hell are Rick Yune, Danny Trejo, and Lance Henrikson doing! I actually like these guys and they are making a strait to video movie with the worst director alive! (Reply to this) |

on Aug 13 2007 12:51 PM Wow, it's like a Who's Who of people who'll do anything for a buck! (Reply to this) |
on Aug 13 2007 02:48 PM NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! (Reply to this) |

on Aug 13 2007 08:14 PM I laugh in the face of this article. (Reply to this) |

on Aug 14 2007 12:03 AM I'll tell you why Lance and all of these other guys are doing straight to DVD movies, no - not because they are sellouts or money hungry, but simply because they can't get rolls in major movies. P.S. I'm pretty positive Alone in the Dark and House of the Dead are in my 5 worst movies ever made list. (Reply to this) |

on Aug 14 2007 12:52 PM Not a bad idea, given that the expectations for DTV are so much lower than theatrical releases. It's actually got a good B (make that C)-level horror cast. It'll probably get run on Sci Fi Channel, like House of the Dead 2, which was infinitely better than House of the Dead 1. (Reply to this) |
