WHITE NOISE 2 : THE LIGHT
From the "news we saw coming a mile away" department:
Universal's White Noise 2: The Light has, after being
yanked out of its late January release slot, been
remanded to the direct-to-video slate. According to
Fangoria, the semi-sequel to White Noise has yet to
receive a video store release date -- but it's
definitely NOT going to be playing in any multiplexes
any time soon. Frankly I'm a little surprised that this
one was ever truly considered a "theatrical release"
sort of movie.
The first flick was a surprise hit in January of 2005,
but that was most likely due to a) Michael Keaton's
presence in the movie, and b) the fact that there's
nothing worth seeing most Januaries! The news should
come as no big shock to director Patrick Lussier; of the
four movies he's already written, only one of 'em
(Dracula 2000) ever saw the inside of a movie house. The
folks who have ample cause for disappointment are
screenwriter Matt Venne (this is his first feature) and
leading man Nathan Fillion -- a seriously entertaining
actor who just can't seem to catch a break these days.
His first two movies, Serenity and Slither, while both
really cool, pretty much died at the box office -- and
his next one (the fantastic Waitress) might not hit
screens for the better part of a year. I'm guessing a
White Noise 3 is pretty much out of the question at this
point.
