Last night, I was in Toronto for the world premiere of The Green Inferno, the new cannibal movie directed by Eli Roth. You'll be able to read a full review in the coming days, but I think quite a few horror fans are going to really enjoy this movie. After the film screened, Eli Roth an the main cast took part in a Q&A session and Roth announced that a sequel is already in the works.
Titled Beyond The Green Inferno, Worldview Entertainment is moving forward on the sequel with Eli Roth in a producing role. Aftershock director, Nicolas Lopez, was heavily involved with The Green Inferno as a producer and writer, and he's set to take over for Roth as director on the sequel.
Production is expected to begin soon, but a specific date was not mentioned. When talking with THR, Lopez said that they're going for something "darker and scarier," and said that it would be in the tradition of Aliens:
“After writing and scouting all over Peru we realized that that ‘The Green Inferno’ had an expansive universe and that we would love to visit it again and go deeper into the jungle. Our plan with Beyond the Green Inferno is to make a sequel in the tradition of Aliens, where the creative team went bigger, darker and scarier into the unknown. Eli has been an amazing creative collaborator and has set the groundwork for an entire universe of stories we're both incredibly excited to tell,”
