After a strong $20.1 million opening weekend, Screen Gems and Lionsgate are planning a sequel to "Hostel," with writer-director Eli Roth in talks to return and steer the second installment reports Variety.
Lionsgate and Screen Gems intend to release the sequel in a year, mimicking Lionsgate's successful quick turnaround of "Saw" and "Saw II". It's not clear whether "Hostel" exec producer Quentin Tarantino will be back.
Screen Gems will make the movie, while Lionsgate will release it in the U.S. Screen Gems will retain international theatrical rights, as well as all homevid rights.
