StrangeLand: Disciple...(StrangeLand Reboot.)

[Himmel]

Emaji announced today that Emaji Entertainment has acquired the rights to reboot Dee Snider’s StrangeLand, the 1998 horror film written by and starring Snider, the frontman of heavy metal giant Twisted Sister.

Dee Snider’s portrayal of Carlton Hendricks, aka Captain Howdy, in the original film created a character that has become a cult horror legend. Emaji Entertainment will accompany the singer-songwriter, screenwriter, radio personality, and actor back into the dark underground world of ritualistic body modification where victims are lured via an ever pervasive world of social media.

The 1998 soundtrack included an incredible array of bands – System of a Down, Sevendust, Soulfly, Slipknot, Kid Rock, Coal Chamber, Twisted Sister, Megadeth, Marilyn Manson, and Pantera – handpicked by Snider. “Music was intrinsic to me in the first one. We really tried to create the ultimate heavy soundtrack. Music will be important to me again for this film,” adds Snider.

The project has the working title StrangeLand: Disciple.

Additional details will be released as the film moves through production and towards release

I really liked the first one so I'm looking forward to this since Dee Snider is coming back.

The first film had a great soundtrack so I expect the same with this new one but sadly I kind of had a falling out with Heavy Metal music around the turn of the century, from Nu-Metal showing up around the late 90's to all the newer bands sounding too much alike, I just lost touch with it.

hasnt this rumor been happening since the original release? the first one wasnt a hit at all even though it was one of the first torture porn movies.

Umm. No.

I really wish they'd release Strangeland on Blu-ray. There wasn't a thread for it, so I figured I'd state it here. I have tweeted Dee Snider to ask if he knew anything, but of course he didn't reply.

The subtitle "Disciple," and Snider returning, make me wonder if this is just a straight-up sequel. The word "reboot" in the OP could just be using the modern blanket term for any kind of continuation.

I enjoyed the first film. I have the DVD somewhere. I'll welcome a new installment, even if just because it will help get the original released on Blu / UHD.

I got to be an extra in the 1st one and had dinner on set with Robert Englund as he came and ate with the extras . Was a fun experience and would love if they filmed in Colorado again for this one .
