A Whole Bunch Of People Join The Non-Eli Roth Affiliated 'Hostel 3'

Even though Eli Roth has said he's not going to be involved, that won't prevent a cheapie and guaranteed to be terrible "Hostel 3" from getting made, featuring a bunch of "oh yeah, that dude" and plain "who's that?" actors from joining the film.

The Wrap reports that John Hensley ("Nip/Tuck"), comedian Skyler Stone, Chris Coy ("True Blood") and needs-to-find-a-new-agent German actor Thomas Kretschmann ("King Kong," "Wanted," "Valkyrie") will appear in "Hostel 3," directed by
Scott Spiegel ("From Dusk Til Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money"). They join the ranks of the previously reported Kip Pardue ("The Rules of Attraction"), Brian Hallisay ("Bones") and Sarah Habel ("Party Down") in the straight-to-DVD project, which is being cranked out by the Stage 6 division of Sony who specializes in these sort of low-rent franchise sequels.

"The Hangover" gone wrong plotline will follow "a Vegas bachelor party that turns grisly when the groom (Hallisay) learns that his longtime best friend (Pardue) has targeted him for ritual murder." And with that, our brains have officially checked out.

that sounds... how does it even relate to "Hostel"? WTF? Jesus. Why god why!

Scott Spiegel directed a giallo-ish slasher called "Intruder" that's pretty damned brilliant, so it's not like this project is in the worst hands.

Yeah, but my point was that, at least by the breif synopsis, it doesn't even sound like it fits the Hostel "concept" at all. Like Halloween 3: Season of the Witch not having Michael Meyers in it. It's an unrelated, stand-alone film that they slapped a franchise title onto to boost visibility.

I could be wrong, but that's just how the post reads to me.

As an aside, I'd heard "Intruder" was good, but I remaind skeptical. Perhaps I should relent and give it a try?

I built it up too much, it's not brilliant, but it's pretty damned good, a really underrated gem of the genre.

Okay, well, I just read up on Intruder a bit, and it sounds intriguing, but mostly the Bruce Campbell cameo is enough to pique my interest. If it's on Netflix Instant Watch, I'll check it out.
