Director Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2: Dead End) told Bloody Good Horror he is already talking about a Wrong Turn 3, but “obviously the writer’s strike is holding it up.” What he goes onto say about his concept is promising, but don’t get your hopes up too much, because he is not sure what script will be used.
“Part of me thinks that Rob [Schmidt] had his version of the first film which was kind of this 70’s homage, and mine was the 80’s homage, and I’m thinking that it would be great to see Wrong Turn 3 be almost like a 90’s homage.”
“There’s one idea in particular that I FUCKING LOVE that would answer all the questions that people have had in the past as to why people who survived the previous films didn’t say anything, and where are the cops in all of this. So it answers a lot of questions, it opens up the mythology a little more too which I really like.”
“I haven’t seen any scripts so I think it’s just ideas at this point, but I have a feeling that they’re going to want to jump right into this thing as soon as possible so who knows. There could be a script cranked out the second the writers strike is over, so here’s hoping…I’ve honestly said, if they pick that idea then I’ll do it. If you don’t see my name attached to the third film, then that means they didn’t pick that script.”
