Wait, there’s going to be a Screamers 2? Why didn’t anyone inform me of this!
A direct to video sequel to the original film which was on cable constantly when I was a younger lad. I hope they have a scene as freaked out cool as the army of teddy beared kids marching out of the base that have to be killed by the heroes. This film has the most robotic child deaths of any film I can recall, except maybe the many robotic children on planets eaten by Unicron in the original Transformers movie. And then they weren’t onscreen.
“Aliens Vs Predator : Requiem” fox Gina Holden will headline the direct-to-video “Screamers” sequel, according to GinaHolden.Net.
Sheldon Wilson (“Kawâ€) will direct the film.
The original, directed by Christian Duguay (“The Art of Warâ€), told of a blade-wielding, self-replicating race of killing devices known as Screamers designed for one purpose only — to hunt down and destroy all enemy life forms. Col. Hendricksson (Peter Weller) now must go up against the things he helped create.
Set to lens in Canada in January, “Screamers 2†fixes on a group of humans from earth, including Lt. Victoria Bronte, who arrive on Sirius 6-B to investigate an SOS signal sent out from the planet, which has been supposedly deserted since the destruction of the man-made weapons known as “screamers.”
Once the squad arrives, they find a group of human survivors eking out an existence in an old military outpost, but more important, they discover that the threat of the screamers has become even more insidious, now that they’re able to morph into human form.
According to the site, Holden will also be seen in “Smallville” this season – playing Patricia Swann – and the new Jennifer Aniston flick, “Travelling”.
