Should Twentieth Century Fox ever agree to take the “Wrong Turn” franchise back to the big screen, the film’s original director would gladly return.

Rob Schmidt, director of the original hicks-who-eat-fleshy-fingers thriller, says he’d more than happy to join original star Eliza Dushku on a new sequel – should the studio agree to release it theatrically. Having said that, he’d much rather have done one while producer Stan Winston, who he worked with on the original, was still alive.

‘’ If there was a theatrical release for a Wrong Turn sequel I reckon Eliza and I would consider it but the industry is really into direct to consumer sequels right now’’, says Schmidt, who reunited with Dushku on the new film “The Alphabet Killer”. ‘’It's a little sad with Stan Winston having died [too]”.

Next up for Schmidt is the flick “Bad Meat”. ‘’Dave Franco is the star of Bad Meat’’, Schmidt announces. ‘’Definitely a graphic horror unlike Alphabet Killer, which is a supernatural thriller without a lot of gore. Bad Meat will be a very disturbing little movie, it's loaded with gore, vomit, and even a bit of anal penetration’’.
