Deatils on Rock n Roll Nightmare 2!!!!!!!!!

The clever 2003 short film Graveyard (about two disgruntled, underpaid bookstore clerks turned into zombies by their boss) for the first time brought together the talents of producer/director Ed Brisson of Fizz Films and longtime metal musician-turned-actor Jon Mikl Thor. Prior to his role in Graveyard, Thor had not appeared in a film in over fifteen years. Encouraged by the success of the Fizz Films short, Brisson and Thor plan to unite once more, this time for a feature-length follow-up to the most infamous film of the rocker's career: Rock N' Roll Nightmare. In the first Nightmare, Thor played John Triton, frontman for a heavy metal band that retreats to a secluded cabin for an intesive practice session and getaway. The music comes to an abrupt halt, however, when sinister forces reveal themselves and begin dispatching the band members and their girlfriends. In the end Triton must confront the prince of darkness alone, in the process revealing a closely guarded and unbelievable secret of his own.

With a number of dark comedy shorts to his credit and another short (which the director describes as a serious ghost story) on the way, Brisson will make his first attempt at a feature film with Rock N' Roll Nightmare 2. He is currently at work on the script, with plans to begin filming later this year, and believes that those familiar with the original may be surprised with what they find in the sequel. "If things go my way, this will be a very straight faced film, with bursts of violence and humour. I am looking to create something similar (in tone only) to Takashi Miike's Dead Or Alive. It will not be a self referrential or intentionally bad film - as I think some people are thinking it may be. I want to give this the serious treatment that I think is lacking in present day horror/b-movies." Part of that serious treatment involves avoiding one of the more notorious aspects of the original film: "Sorry," Brisson apologizes, "no bad puppets this time around."

According to Brisson's basic description of the story, Rock N' Roll Nightmare 2 will feature a present-day John Triton living a normal life, completely unaware of his colorful past. But as strange things begin to happen around him, Triton's memories are restored and he must confront the fact that Satan has returned and seeks to do battle once again.
