Email Article Print ArticleFangoria reports that “Nightmare on Elm Street” director Wes Craven and his son Jonathan will write the sequel to Alexandre Aja’s The Hills Have Eyes remake.
"We want to continue the story of the miners," Craven said. "This time, a group of National Guard screw-ups come face to face with the mutants on their last day of training in the desert. We will take the audience underground [into the mines] as well. The studio, Fox Searchlight, wants the sequel out a year to the day after the last one, so we have to deliver our script in a matter of weeks."
The site also says that Craven and producing partner Marianne Maddalena offered the follow-up to Aja, but he turned it down. Craven also added that they are talking to Michael J. Bassett about directing the sequel. The new “Hills” will shoot this summer.

Never saw the remake, but 1/2 the people I talked to said they loved it, and the other 1/2 said it was a complete waste of time. I’ll probably save this one for a rental.
