The Descent Sequel Finds Its Director: Jon Harris

The Descent was a prime example of what a great horror movie should be when it was released in 2005 and since then, many horror fans have been hankering after a sequel. Well, our prayers have finally been answered and work has begun on the next film, to be called ‘The De2ent’.

In an interview with Fangoria, Neil Marshall provided information on the new director for the film, “I will not be directing The Descent 2, but I will be overseeing every aspect of the production. There’s nothing to oversee yet, though, as the script is currently being written. My Descent editor Jon Harris will make his feature directing debut with the sequel, and I can’t think of a better man for the job.”

He didn’t reveal any details about the movie, but unlike it’s predecessor we’ll probably see this movie get more ‘Americanized’ in an attempt to make it more marketable. However, I’m glad that editor Jon Harris will be directing because film editors usually make the best directors, knowing how to shoot the movie for the edit.
