“We had so many versions that they are almost raised on your feet or, for one reason or another, they were killed. It really brings us back that people cannot look at the box office, at the real box office, of the film.”

The Axed TV series would have been a fresh and fun turning point:

Despite all false departures, Craig did not give up hope, saying:

“I have never left the idea that we would make a sequel to go completely and part of the reason why people want to see a sequel is because it is set for this.

“Tucker and DaleWhen I wrote it, there were these elements I wanted to follow, as Chad is still alive, the story of Allison and Dale. “
