Exclusive – Joe Dante on The Hole 3D and future projects

At this past weekend’s Monsterpalooza convention, I talked with Joe Dante on the status of a variety of projects that he has going on, and some of it is good and some of it is not so good. Joe and I did an interview on The Hole 3D (here) last year, and it appears there is still no release date on the horizon in the US, although it has already gone theatrical in the UK and is available on DVD overseas. Shout! Factory is on board as a distributor for Trailers From Hell Volume 2, which will be out this summer. And he saved the best for last, telling me he has some exciting things in the works, but he wouldn’t spill the beans on what they are.

“It’s out in Italy. It’s out in a lot of places. It’s out of my hands. I have no idea. I have no idea whatsoever. It’s like having a baby. You make the movie and you throw it up in the air and you hope somebody catches it. Sometimes they catch it, sometimes they don’t.”

“I’m hoping to make a movie this year, but if I tell you what it is I’ll jinx it. I have more than one thing in the works. I have five things in the works, and I’m hoping one of them will go. You can’t just wait for people to give you stuff. You have to generate your own stuff.”
