Even though Fox Atomic's The Hills Have Eyes sequel didn't destroy at the box office (37m worldwide), there is already talk of a third installment in the franchise, which began once again with Alex Aja's reboot back in 2006. After a screening of The Last House on the Left this evening we chatted with Wes Craven about the Hills franchise and where it could go.

The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007)Another well known Wes Craven film that was remade was The Hills Have Eyes (1977), which was remade by Fox Atomic back in 2006. Three years later, there is new talk of a third film in the franchise and Craven knows exactly where he wants to take it...

“There's discussion about a possible Hills 3 and we’ll take it in a totally different direction,” while also explaining that the film will not go straight-to-disc, “I'm not interested in doing straight-to-video. If it can't make it in theaters then…"

He continues talking about his ideas for a third film in the franchise that focuses on a mutant civilization living on through the ages after being radiated by atomic tests in the nearby desert.

"There are a lot of good movies still in that concept," he explains, "you know The Outsiders and I’d like to flip it actually and have them integrated a little into our society and run into prejudice or something…because they have this ability to survive anything, maybe be recruited by the society that’s about to throw them out.”

The first one was plently enough...even thou the second one was okay...but a third come on hollywood come up with new ideas instead of sequels all the time

Hopefully this doesn't turn into another Saw series. They should have quit after the first one.

Loved the first one (original and remake), but the second I though was terrible and was a shame because Craven was a writer for it... Have to wait and see if this will be any good.

+1 The first one was good. The second one just plain sucked. Who knows how the third one will turn out

Yeah the the remake(2006) was great and the sequel was absolutely horrible. I really don't see anyway around the next sequel being a DTV release. I think the box office take of the sequel is a hint at that...of course if they wanna do a versus movie and have Hills Have Eyes vs. Wrong Turn movie, lol
