"Fright Night 2" is Moving Forward on DVD


When "Fright Night" hit theaters back in 1985, Columbia Pictures thought it performed well-enough to warrant a sequel. Three years later, "Fright Night Part II" was released, reuniting the main cast members.

Last year, DreamWorks remade the original film with Colin Farrell and Anton Yelchin in the lead. Unfortunately, it grossed only $18 million domestically on a $30 million budget. But the studio is still interested in continuing the franchise.

STYD has learned that the studio is moving forward with a direct-to-DVD follow-up, that's planned as a stand-alone story. The goal is to begin shooting in Romania soon. Eduardo Rodriguez (Curandero, "Fear Itself," Stash House) is in talks to direct. None of the original cast members are expected to return.
