I’ve mentioned several times that Dog Soldiers is one of my favorite movies. If you’re not familiar here is a quick plot summary:
“The movie follows a small squad of British soldiers during a routine night-time training mission in the Scottish Highlands. While on their way to rendezvous with a special ops unit, the group instead find a bloody massacre with a sole survivor. The savage attackers of the special ops team return, and the men are rescued by a zoologist who identifies what hunts them as werewolves. Without transport or communications, the group is forced to retreat to a farmhouse to wait for the full moon to disappear at dawn.”
Over the years many fans of the film wished for a sequel after the planned next film in 2004 never came into production. The name for the sequel was to be Dog Soldiers: Fresh Meat. Several times over the years rumors of the movie would spur interest.
There are so many directions this story could go. Would the original surviving cast members be featured? Would the sequel focus on the pack and who they are and came to be? Would the sequel feature the transformative canines traveling to America in search of a new hunt and making the major mistake of disturbing John Rourke while he’s trying to relax while camping?
That would be interesting.
Again – rumors and even comments from the original Director suggests the story was initially intended to be a trilogy. With the following DOg Soldiers has I would not be surprised if it is brought back and the story continues.
Go pop some popcorn!
