The horror community is buzzing with excitement as director Marcus Dunstan has announced that The Collector 3 is moving forward. After five long years of legal entanglements, the third installment of this terrifying franchise is finally free from its shackles. Originally conceived as a spin-off to the Saw series, The Collector has carved out its own niche in the horror genre, and fans are eagerly awaiting its return.
A Brief History of The Collector Series
The first film, released in 2009, started as a John Kramer origin story but quickly evolved into a standalone feature starring Josh Stewart. Its success led to a sequel in 2012, The Collection, which further solidified the franchise's place in horror cinema. However, the third chapter, initially titled The Collected, faced numerous delays despite beginning production years ago.
Exciting Updates from Director Marcus Dunstan
In a recent interview with ComicBook, Dunstan shared the thrilling news: “If anybody wanted to know what was up with The Collector, less than 24 hours ago, after five years of legal entanglements, The Collector is free. The Collector's coming back, and it's going to be mad scary … wait until you see that sucker hit.”
Dunstan emphasized that they wanted to ensure the third movie would be the best yet, stating, “We weren't to trespass into that until it could be the best one. Every next movie has a chance to be the best movie.” This dedication to quality suggests that The Collector 3 will bring a fresh wave of terror to fans.
What to Expect
While specific details about the resumption of production are still under wraps, Dunstan's words hint at a dark and thrilling experience. He mentioned the blend of terror and emotion, similar to his upcoming project, #AMFAD: All My Friends Are Dead, which hits theaters on August 2. This film, noted for its humor and character development, shows Dunstan's range as a director, promising a multi-faceted approach to horror in The Collector 3.
With the legal issues now resolved, it's only a matter of time before we receive more updates on the film's progress. Fans can rest assured that when The Collector 3 hits theaters, it will deliver a gripping and terrifying experience worthy of its legacy.
