I'm an American and this pisses me off.

Here's the good news. DOG SOLDIERS II is a go. Finally, a sequel to one of the most talked about genre films of the last couple years is underway. Eric Miller (who wrote an Eric Roberts film called SHADOW MEN according to the ) will write the script.

But here's the problem. Miller says to , "

The sequel will have the same elements as the first film, but will have some more Americans in the cast." Uh, why? "People complained the original was too British," he says.

Huh. What people are these? Considering the original was co-produced by Great Britain and no one in the States saw until it showed up butchered on Sci-fi Channel, I was expecting a heavy British influence. In fact, I think it helped the film come into it's own. This "too British" sentiment is a bit ridiculous personally.

At least Kevin McKidd will return in the part of Cooper. No director has been set yet.

Fuck Me!
That is godamn retarded. :crazy:

Why I'm suprised with another case of "Yeah that film was great, but hey, let's make it American!" I don't know.

I was so looking forward to the sequel (less so when I reported (http://www.horrorexpress.com/newsadmin.php?id=134) that Neil Marshall would not be allowed to make it) but man, doesn't this just piss on my fire... :rant:

Tell me about it! Gee, I'm sure all the British, Scottish and Irish people didn't think it was too British when a film finally came out of the United Kingdom that had a definite impact. But hey, what do they matter? It was only THEIR FUCKING MOVIE TO BEGIN WITH!!! :rant:

Speaking from the western front of Horror Express (HE's staff and readers are heavily populated by both USA and the UK, for those who didn't know) people like this don't only give the genre a bad name, they don't only give filmmaking a bad name... they give my whole damn country a bad name.

:weep:
