If It’s Movies

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to report on this, but I decided to go ahead and say something anyway. The direct-to-DVD sequel of ‘Vacancy’ has gotten a cast and a plot analysis out, and it’s sounds like it will play out similarly to the original.

Agnes Brucker, Lola Davidson, Angel Oquendo and Jeryl Prescott will all star with Eric Bross set to direct. The story will follow Jessica, her fiancé Caleb and Caleb’s friend Tanner as they check into the Meadow View Inn where they have no idea that the motel is run by a homicidal maniac and two others that make money by selling snuff films on the black market.

I have some close ties to the original ‘Vacancy,’ considering my roommate’s father is the one who wrote the script, so I have to say I have mixed feelings seeing a DTV sequel coming out. I still haven’t seen the first in entirety, which I feel bad about, but I do plan on it. Hopefully this can only mean good things for Mark L. Smith, the writer of the original, and his progress as a screenwriter.

I personally know Smith’s next script is going to be something to talk about because I have heard about it from my roommate. I won’t go into much detail, but it’s a revenge story that takes place in the 1800s and follows a group of fur traders out in the West.

I will try to follow news on ‘Vacancy 2′ as it comes out.
