Tucker and Dale Versus Evil 2 Confirmed in Development!

There aren’t too many horror films these days that make their way onto my must watch list. Sure we get the occasional really scary film like The Conjuring, or a bit more cerebral fare like It Follows, and of course we made no secret of our love of Cabin in the Woods. But today we are going to talk about another ‘horror’ film that has made it onto not only my “Must see” list, and then onto my “Hey, watch this” list.

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline is a pop culture junkie’s wet dream of a book, and one I have been continuously sharing with friends since I first read it a couple of years ago. RPO is one of those books that was optioned for film before it even released, with a number of potential directors already expressing interest in the film adaptation since. It wasn’t too long ago that it was announced that Steven Spielberg (who?) would be taking over as director. We haven’t heard much about the film until some very interesting and potentially amazing news dropped.
