This may take awhile!
Get ready for more "Tales From the Hood." A sequel to the 1995 urban-set horror anthology has filed paperwork to shoot in Louisiana, with pre-production apparently already underway in New Orleans.
Original "Tales" director Rusty Cundeiff confirmed the shoot earlier this month when, as Bloody Disgusting reported, he shared a photo via Twitter with the message: "In New Orleans location scouting for Tales From The Hood 2. This is part of Anne Rice's old Home and where she held her LeStat parties."
That message was removed shortly thereafter and replaced with a much more vague message accompanied by an image of a killer doll from the original movie, suggesting Cundeiff might not have had authorization to announce the film. But according to a recent filing with the state, the production is gearing up to shoot on an estimated budget of $3.2 million, with $3 million of that being spent in-state, including $2.2 million of that earmarked for Louisiana payroll.
No cast or release date has been revealed, although -- given the recent success of director Jordan Peele's race-centered thriller "Get Out" -- the timing could be just right for a new "Tales From the Hood" and its blend of comedy, horror and social commentary.
The original "Tales From the Hood," which was executive-produced by Spike Lee, focused on three drug dealers who visit a funeral home to buy a batch of drugs that the funeral director said he found in an alley. As they walk through the home, the funeral director shares four macabre stories of recent clients.
