It\u2019s always a budgetary conversation when we\u2019re going to shoot it. I wanted to go back to the really twisted sensibility of the first movie. I found that was a very easy place for me to fall back into and start writing again, so hopefully we\u2019ll see that movie soon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Columbus hadn&#8217;t always been set to write the film; Warner Bros had originally hired\u00a0<em><strong>The Last House On The Left<\/strong><\/em>&#8216;s Carl Ellsworth to pen the script, while Columbus was in talks to direct. It also started as a reboot instead of a straight sequel, which is what it became after Columbus got involved.<\/p>\n<p>With the film&#8217;s script already under his belt, Columbus win not helm the project.
