Now, ten years, later, hes kind of become a little bit of a celebrity.
The film is also screening at the upcoming FrightFest Festival in London.
A full schedule of screenings and additional release information will follow.
Internationally, Victor Crowley is slated to bow at festivals worldwide.
Hatchetwas always just meant to be a trilogy, says Green.
I was actually quite relieved and happy to be done with it and on to all the other stuff.
That reality that our idols are not going to be here for ever was suddenly very real.
You start asking yourself, Well, what have we done that even matters?
And as part of his pep talk he had said, So, wheres the next Crowley picture?
And I said, There isnt going to be one, Im done with that.
According to the director, Kane Hodder was more than happy to reprise the role of Crowley.
Hes always saying, Oh come on, one more, one more, says Green.
I actually got to tell him in person.
Hell never admit this because hes too tough but I swear I saw a tear in his eye.
And this one was by far the hardest.
Nobody ever spoke the wordsHatchetorVictory Crowley.
Everyone has always referred to this asArwens Revenge.
Look, you might not know this about me, but I can talk!
So, it was very hard.
Joe knew what I was doing, but nobody else.
It was very very hard.
I have seen that rumor out even about this, but nothing substantial.
Nobody leaked it or at least they didnt leak it to the wrong person.
So, it worked out.
Green explains that the experience of makingVictor Crowleyhas been a revitalizing one.
But it was for me.
I think it saved my love for all of this.
And now, I guess, starts the, What aboutHatchet 5?
Okay, well bite.
We have to see how this one does first, says Green.
If theres a demand for it, then who knows?
I mean, at this point,anythingcould happen.
