HATCHET 2 PROMO (1 of 4)
So, here we go.
To countdown the 3 weeks until the opening of HATCHET 2 on October 1st at AMC Theaters, I’ve mocked up four flyers to be released each Wednesday centered around the dilemma of my character, Justin, in H2 — finding out what happened to his twin brother, Shawn.
The premiere will be on: Tuesday, Sept 28th at the beautiful, 773-seat Egyptian Theater in Hollywood and folks can obtain tickets here.
Reviews have been great but my favorite thus far has been:
“Hatchet 2 is to Hatchet what Aliens is to Alien” - BleedingCool.com
H2 takes place the very next frame from where the first film left off — continuing the saga. So it’s an amazing coincidence that the distributors of H1 have released the H1 Blu-ray just in time yesterday for everyone to brush up on the back story in full 1080p!
H2 is the first genre film in 25 years to be in theaters unrated — so the fact that the AMC chain is behind it, is awesome.
Below is an excerpt of the new commentary on the H1 Blu-ray that delves into the ridiculous problems we’ve run into with the MPAA ratings folks. It reveals why we were forced to find an alternative this time around instead of accepting a fate of being on limited screens and/or having a severely over-edited end product dictated by a secret society that often inconsistently and arbitrarily wields their ratings rubber stamp on a whim.
And here is the H2 teaser trailer – “Hold on… to all of your pieces”:

Interesting – so AMC is releasing it exclusively? Is it being released digitally to the cinemas or on film?
So far, it’s an AMC exclusive. And I’m pretty sure it’s on film prints.
