It's exciting that they are filming!
As per my earlier post:

Speaking of Hugh and Callum, what’s up with the new Hard Core Logo movie?
For many years we’ve been talking about doing a follow-up. Hugh and Callum have both been super busy so we thought that while we were waiting — and waiting to see if Joe Dick comes back from the dead — we could take some of the minor characters from the first movie and put them in the foreground. So Bucky Haight, who is their mentor in the original, becomes one of the major characters. I become a major character, too — I play the filmmaker who filmed the onscreen suicide of the unfortunate Joe Dick and who’s wracked with guilt. Care Failure and her band Die Mannequin play themselves — they’re recording an album with Bucky and I’m documenting it. She’s been channeling the spirit of Joe Dick — he’s writing songs through her. It’s crazy but it’s essentially the story of them making a record in this old dancehall in northern Saskatchewan or Kansas, depending on which country we embrace.
I’d done a couple of things with Die Mannequin and I just really got on with them and liked their attitude. I thought, “Hey, if we’re going to do a sequel for Hard Core Logo, let’s do the flipside.” The first one is masculine, Canadian and on the road. The second could be feminine, American and in the studio! Anyway, it’s something to do while we wait for Hugh and Callum to finish their high-paying cop shows and then we can figure out if there’s a No. 3. I know I sound a little bit insane but the music world is just a fun world to play in.
