2 Feast 2 Furious

Clu Gulager's kid, John, had moderate success with his directorial debut Feast, a low-budget (just over $3 million) but slick splatterfest hatched out of the Project Greenlight TV series. The movie's an odd creature, plagued by some bad clichés and 180% too much sped-up strobe in anything resembling an action sequence, but still fairly entertaining, and not without a few legitimately surprising and daring moments (which in a monsters-attack-sequestered-humans-overnight flick is worthy of at least a little admiration).

Co-writer Marcus Dunstan mentioned to Fangoria magazine The Weinstein Company's interest in commissioning Gulager & co. for second and third installments of Feast. As with the first, it'd likely be released by TWC subdivision Dimension. Late in 2006, The Weinstein Company signed a four-year contract to supply DVD rentals exclusively to Blockbuster (if you've driven past a Blockbuster and wondered why there was an eight foot poster for Bobby in the window, this partnership is the reason, and not anybody's misguided faith in Bobby).

It's a strange arrangement, given Blockbuster's squeamishness and the Feast makers' obvious intent to push the envelope - but then, Blockbuster seems to have no problem with extreme violence, as long as it's stickered UNRATED and not NC-17. With theatrical release unlikely - the first film, even with a season-long TV presence worth of visibility, barely hit theaters - it looks like Netflix users will have to illegally download these.
