(11/15/16) He did say he'd consider crowdfunding as a source to finally get things moving, saying: "So many people ask me about “Strangeland 2.” Someone asked me, “Well, why don’t you crowdfund it?” I’m thinking, “Good point!” if people want this movie so bad, and it seems like when I go to these horror conventions and it seems like everybody wants it, maybe that is the route to go. So, the script was there and now I’m just trying to find a production company and the financing to do it!" It took me seven years just to get my property back and at that point it was 2004. It was greenlit, a script was written and we were in the earliest stages of preproduction when the company got indicted by the federal government! I hang out with the best people! At that point in time, all the properties were seized and we’re tied up in the court system for seven years. "It was greenlit back in 1997 before the first one came out. I don’t know what the hell it is with that thing! That whole experience could be a documentary in itself - “The Making of Strangeland 2.” What the fuck?! That is what it would be called, “The Making of Strangeland 2: WTF!"Īdding. In a recent interview Dee revealed his frustration with the whole process, saying: "I’m always trying to get “Strangeland 2” going. (5/16/22)Ī year and a half later and it looks like there's still no movement in regards to a sequel or the reboot that was revealed in the last update. It's possible it may go into development again at some point (especially considering the project's history over the years), but as of right now it's dead. Recent news about Dee in pre-production on another unrelated horror project has been revealed, further adding to the fact that this project is dead. Strangeland isn't a bad film, but considering the concept, it makes you wonder how much potential this flick really had.Despite writer Dee Snider trying to keep this project alive, it appears to be in a state of development hell and has been for some time now. The film does possess something worth mentioning, Dee Snider as the villain. However, I still enjoyed the film, even though the plot was imperfect, and the cast were so-so. If Dee Snider would have spent time rewriting a second draft, then maybe we would have had something very memorable on our hands. There are some very interesting ideas at work here, but the script clearly suffers from being underdeveloped. I was very much surprised and I really didn't think it was that bad. There's nothing truly remarkable about this one, except if you're looking for an underrated B movie, then check this film out. ![]() ![]() There's an inventive plot in its somewhat sketchy script, and it works well enough for its 90 minute run time. Although not perfect, I felt that Strangeland wasn't as bad as what every critic has said. The film has a dark, moody, melancholic atmosphere which adds to the tone of story. In a way that's what makes him appealing. Snider's character is eccentric, bizarre and psychotic who says stuff that really doesn't make any sense. The acting is fairly decent, never anything good but definitely not as bad as what many critics have said. Although Snider's ideas are a bit rough, there are still plenty of good things going for the film. This is an underrated film that has a unique concept. Strangeland which is written by Heavy Metal musician Dee Snider of Twisted Sister fame. ![]()
