Här kommer glädjande nyheter för alla oss som gillade den första filmen. Släppt i sverige under namnet Instängd av någon lustig anledning och filmen på DVD är i fel OAR så köp inte den utan satsa på den brittiska eller amerikanska utgåvan istället om ni vill se filmen.

Jag gillade den första filmen väldigt mycket, den är riktigt effektiv och skrämde upp en gammal räv som mig. Det ska sägas att det inte är många filmer som gör det. Sedan var handlingen riktigt smart och bra. Filmen är grymt snyggt filmad och skådespelarna gör mycket bra ifrån sig.

ShockTillYouDrop.Com - The Descent 2 Script Complete


Source: Ryan Rotten on February 4, 2008

He howled with the Dog Soldiers, crawled into The Descent and is bringing about Doomsday next month. Now, writer-director Neil Marshall is scanning the horizon for his next project while keeping tabs on an upcoming sequel to 2006's "Descent" which he and I discussed at Comic-Con last year.

"I'm just about to read the script - if they go ahead with it this year I'm not sure what my involvement is going to be at this stage," he tells Shock during a recent interview. "I'll just have to wait and see."

Although he isn't certain who's being credited for the screenplay being sent his way ("various" scribes have tackled it apparently), Marshall believes, "Director [Jon Harris] is the right choice and I'll think he'll do a good job. I think it's important to bring in some fresh blood and give someone else a go at it." Which explains why he didn't sign to direct the follow-up himself. "I don't want to repeat myself, I want to go on to something new."

Harris served as editor on Marshall's "Descent," the sequel will be his directorial debut.

Bloody Disgusting - The De2cent Plot, Writer and No Lionsgate?

Wednesday, February 27, 2008

We've discovered some interesting news over the past few days starting with the fact that Neil Marshall is NOT the writer of Pathe's The De2cent, although that is what the IMDB lists. In addition, we have also found out a little about the plot! In the sequel to Lionsgate's terrifying film, Shauna Macdonald's character of Sarah returns as a rescue crew finds her and takes her back into the cave to find survivors - where terror ensues once again. We've also been tipped that in the sequel you'll get to see "little" cave monsters in action . And lastly, there is a chance that Lionsgate may not distribute the sequel here in the States as Pathe is currently shopping the project around town. We'll keep you posted on any further developments.

Bloody Disgusting - First Official The Descent 2 Casting!

Wednesday, April 30, 2008

We received official word that Shauna MacDonald and Natalie Jackson Mendoza will both we returning in Pathe's The Descent 2, which looks to have finally dropped the ridiculous moniker (The De2cent). The film is in pre-production with Jon Harris attached to direct from a screenplay by James Watkins. Neil Marshall will produce alongside Christian Colson. In addition, you can read the OFFICIAL synopsis by heading beyond the break. Watch for more news soon.

THE DESCENT 2 picks up immediately after the events depicted in THE DESCENT

Sarah (MacDonald), emerges alone from a cave system following an expedition with her five friends in the Appalachian mountains. Distraught, injured and covered in the blood of her missing companions, Sarah is incoherent and half-wild with fear. Skeptical about her account of events and convinced Sarah's psychosis hides far darker secrets, Sheriff Vaines forces her back into the caves to help locate the rest of the group.

Trapped by falling rocks, the rescue party are driven deep into the caverns, and as one by one the fate of the missing girls is revealed, Sarah is forced to confront her deepest fears.

Bloody Disgusting - Even More The Descent 2 Casting, Officially Announced!

Thursday, May 1, 2008

Yesterday we broke the news that Shauna MacDonald and Natalie Mendoza would be returning in Pathe's The Descent 2, the hotly anticipated sequel to Neil Marshall's underground monster movie. Today the film was officially given the go ahead, along with more casting. Read on for the story.

U.K. indie shingle Celador Films is reuniting with French-owned and U.K.-based Pathe on a sequel to low-budget boxoffice hit "The Descent."

The Neil Marshall horror flick claimed $57 million at the boxoffice, a sizable return on the original investment on a movie budgeted at less than $10 million.

Produced by Marshall and Christian Colson, "Descent 2" marks the directorial debut for its predecessor's editor, Jon Harris.

Based on a script by James Watkins ("My Little Eye"), the $10 million sequel will shoot more than eight weeks on location in Scotland and at London's Ealing Studios.

The stars of the original film, Shauna MacDonald and Natalie Mendoza, will reprise their roles, alongside Gavan O'Herlihy, Joshua Dallas, Anna Skellern, Douglas Hodge and Krysten Cummings.

The script sees the survivor forced back into the system of caves she battled her way out of in the first film, in a bid to locate the rest of her group.

Celador is bankrolling the project.

Tyckte ettan var bra. Dock är jag alltid skeptisk mot uppföljare, kan bara hoppas att tvåan håller uppe den goda kvalitén ettan hade.

[dukeofnewyork]

Första filmen var mycket bra, men har svårt att se hur de ska göra en uppföljare utan att förstöra ettan. Särskilt det öppna slutet var ju en av filmens höjdpunkter. Dessutom hade ju ettan något unikt i sig som lyfte den över andra filmer, det blir svårt att upprepa det i en tvåa. Men vi får ha tillförsikt...

[Robert Jonsson]

Öh... Vad har ni sett för film egentligen?

Den var okej och rätt bra stämning i början, men ballade ut rätt stenhårt på slutet då de verkade göra allt för att få en att ogilla för huvudrollen. Den bröt sig helt ur sin egen realism med ett otroligt, otrovärt karaktärsagerande. Tror aldrig jag jag blivit så glad över att film slutade som den gjorde i The Descent. Visst, det blev ett minnesvärt klimax men det misslyckades med vad skaparna försökte etablera.

Such a waste... Så jag ser fram emot tvåan. Det kan inte bli sämre. Eller jo, det kan det ju men jag hoppas inte det. Nu kanske de gör något av filmen i avslutnignen också.

[dukeofnewyork]

Hehe... Så olika man se på och analysera samma film. Men smaken är ju till för att vara olika och en sak är säker att olika är den. Först NCFOM och nu detta angrepp på The Descent...

Nåväl, jag håller den som en halvoriginell film som levererade den det skulle och lite till.

[Robert Jonsson]

Som sagt var, jag har inte sett No Country... så det kan jag egentligen inte säga någonting annat om.

Annars håller jag med om "jag håller den som en halvoriginell film som levererade den det skulle" men håller inte med om "och lite till", utan lägger istälet "Bortsett från slutet."

Empire Online - Exclusive: Full Cast Back For Descent 2

13 June 2008

But how, you ask. But HOW?!

WARNING: Spoilers follow for those who haven't seen The Descent.

The sequel to The Descent has caused us much confusion since its impending existence was declared. When it was announced that the movie is in production, it was stated that Shauna MacDonald and Natalie Mendoza would return for the follow-up to Neil Marshall's brilliant horror hit, even though it was strongly suggested that neither would again see daylight at the end of the first film (if you watched the original cut, not the American edit). Want to be further confused? All the girls from the first movie are reprising their roles. So, as well as Macdonald and Mendoza, that would be MyAnna Buring (Sam), Alex Reid (Beth), Saskia Mulder (Rebecca) and Nora-Jane Noone (Holly).

"We're all back, all the girls have made an appearance" we were told by Buring. "I don't know if I'm supposed to tell you this, but we'll all appear in flashbacks. We had that video camera in the first film, remember, so [it's footage from that]. It was last week that we all rocked up on set in Ealing Studios and they'd mocked up these sets that looked like where we'd shot in the first film...so I went back to being Sam for a day".

Buring also cleared up for us just how this movie follows on from the first. She didn't reveal the full plot, but would say, "Yes, we do pick up from the American ending [where Sarah survives]. So Sarah is very much back and we see her going back and her journey again. I have to say, I think it looks awesome. Jon Harris, who's directing is doing an amazing job."

The Descent 2 is a sequel that still gives us pause, since it would seem to betray the ambiguity of the original, which was one of its strongest points, but fingers crossed that it could surprise us all .

Jag har precis laddat ned ettan efter att min systerson rekomenderade den när vi såg The Cave. Passar ju bra.

[Cartman]

Riktigt bra film. En del klagar på slutet men jag gillar både originalslutet samt det alternativa slutet som jänkarna fick (även om jag föredrar originalet). Det ska bli spännande att se om dom kan få till en bra uppföljare.

[Robert Jonsson]

Jag klagar inte så mycket på slutet, utan att slutet faller platt pga. hur de bygger upp inför slutet.

Dock en helt klart sevärd film som måste ses. Vad var alternativa slutet?

PS. jag frågade i en annan tråd också, men det ignorerades... Ingen som vet filmer i samma stil som den här och The Cave? Alltså skräck nere i underjorden?

[Cartman]

IMDb - Alternate Versions

Båda kanske finns att se via Youtube?

Såg din fråga men kan inte komma på några filmer på rak arm. Om jag kommer på några bra förslag kan jag skicka dig ett PM.

[Robert Jonsson]

Okej, UK-slutet som jag sett då. Tack för det!

Skulle uppskatta ett PM om du kommer på det. Danke.

[super85]

Är UK slutet som jag också sett. Kanske ser jag den här också på DVD.

[Cartman]

Bloody Disgusting har ett gäng bilder från filmen. Väljer att inte posta dom då dom spoilar en del. Tycker det ser intressant ut, speciellt ett par av bilderna.

Känner mig verkligen pepp på att se den här filmen.

[Robert Jonsson]

Har svårt att se att de ska kapitalt förstöra stämningen återigen så jag ser också fram emot den här filmen.

Bloody Disgusting TV - The Descent 2 Promo Trailer

[Cartman]

Enligt SF så kommer filmen gå upp på bio den 5/6.

Hoppas den kommer hit där jag bor så att jag kan se den på bio. Första filmen gjorde ju det, så med lite tur hittar även denna hit.

[Cartman]

SF har tagit bort filmen från sin lista över kommande releaser. Återstår att se om den dyker upp på bio här eller blir en "direkt-till-dvd" release.

IGN kan iaf bjuda oss på en ordentlig och officiell trailer medans vi väntar på att få se filmen.

Jag gillar det jag ser men så är jag ju även svag för den här typen av filmer. Sedan är jag nyfiken på hur dom ska knyta ihop den här filmen med den första med tanke på hur den slutade och hur pass smart handlingen var i filmen.

Edited by Cartman, 28 August 2009 - 16:15.

[Crusader]

Jag har fortfarande inte sett första. Har väntat på 2:an.
