Wrestlemaniac 2?

Posted by Horror Grinder on March 11, 2008

Director Jesse Baget talked to Bloody Good Horror about his new film Wrestlemaniac and his upcoming project Oz Land:

“Oz Land is in pre-production with Patriot pictures who did “Lord of War” and “True Romance”, that one is kind of another exploitation type film about these three girls who get kidnapped and taken to this motel in the middle of the desert called the “Rabbit Hole Motel”… and it’s sort of an odd “Alice in Wonderland/Wizard of Oz” type of thing with all these strange characters at this motel, who of course torture and bla bla bla to these three girls. But instead of just running away, these girls take up arms, they escape the motel and go back and seek revenge. it’s more of an all out crazy bloody revenge movie ala “Battle Royale” or that kind of over the top action…. or like the new “Rambo” as well. And it will carry over a lot of that kind of Russ Myers sort of themes, and that kind of blatant camera work (laughs), that I have some in Wrestlemaniac.”

Jesse also discussed a possible Wrestlemaniac sequel:

“I definitely have some ideas for a sequel and I have a couple other projects that I’m getting underway, but I would definitely like to come back to it, just because I think with a slightly bigger budget… there’s just so much more we could do with the Mexican Wrestling concept. You know, put him on some motorcycles, have some midget fights. there’s a lot to do with it. And I’d want to make it a little more of an action horror, just a real bloody action kind of film rather than so much of a slasher film that it was this time. “
