‘Tucker & Dale vs. Evil’ Director Says David Zaslav Killed TV Spinoff: “The Slayer Of All Cinema”
After 15 years, the co-writer and director of 'Tucker & Dale vs. Evil' is still keeping hope alive for a followup to the cult comedy horror.
Eli Craig recently reflected on his 2010 directorial debut and teased “there’s always a possibility” for a sequel, despite a previous attempted TV series spinoff being axed by then Discovery CEO David Zaslav. With an 86% Tomatometer rating and 85% Popcornmeter on Rotten Tomatoes, the film only grossed $223,838 in the United States, but surpassed $5 million in international markets. We almost did a TV show with it that was on TNT/TBS, and you’ll be happy to know that David Zaslav, the slayer of all cinema [laughs], came in and put the final nail in the coffin for Tucker and Dale as we were about to go to series, and just cancelled all production.”
