In their recent chat with Tommy Wirkola, the writer-director said he’s going to refrain from helming the follow-up to his film which grossed over $200 million worldwide.
I have been lately attached to a few more things, its just a matter of time and priorities. I did DEAD SNOW 1, then HANSEL & GRETEL 1, and then DEAD SNOW 2. I want to do something a little bit different now and not just do sequels. I did write the script and I hope to be involved in it. But yeah, I wont be directing it.
Wirkola told us earlier this month that he had turned in a sequel script to Paramount. Our report was followed by another in which star Jeremy Renner said he’d be game to come back but it depended on schedule.
