So here’s a chunk of news that feels like nothing so much as concentrated happy sauce–Hatchet 2 is looking to get started.

The big problem, of course, is scheduling.  Adam Green is a tough guy to catch these days, and Tony Todd, always a genre favorite, isn’t much better.

The teaser poster, which you can see at right, has been vetted and declared legit by no less a presence than Green himself, but it’s just a teaser poster.  Chances are we’ll be getting a whole new poster before things go too much farther.

The hope is that shooting will begin before the end of the year, but considering that the end of the year isn’t that much farther off  (seriously, folks, November is just a few days away), so hopefully we’ll get to see another installment of Hatchet–that sweet Old School American Horror–someime next year, possibly even summer if things go as planned.
