Wes Craven has revealed to Fangoria that he and son Jonathan will be writing the sequel to Alexandre Aja's "The Hills Have Eyes" remake.

Craven says "We want to continue the story of the miners. 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".

Aja was offered the sequel to direct but declined, British helmer Michael J. Bassett ("Deathwatch", "Wilderness") is in talks to helm this Summer. The latest "Hills" sequel will ignore Craven's own critically lambasted "Hills" sequel from 1985.
