Wolf Creek 2 back on track
The sequel to a successful Australian horror film looks to be back on track after it was postponed due to investor issues.
Wolf Creek 2 written, directed and produced by Greg McLean, has received production funding from Screen Australia.The film about the return of pig shooter and serial killer Mick Taylor is one of three projects to receive a share of $5.5m from the funding agency and is expected to trigger $17m in production.
The sequel to the 2005 film hit financial difficulties in 2011 when private investor Geoffrey Edelsten agreed to put in $5m toward the sequel but was later accused of failing to honour his commitment, according to the Australian Financial Review.
In a counter-suit, Edelsten claimed he was misled into being the major private investor.
’bout time, the first one was awesome, Mick Taylor rules…..just wouldn’t like to bump into him on a road trip
Australians can do horror no doubt about it…very exciting time in Aussie film right now
