HATCHET III IS COMING TO THEATERS ON JUNE 14th

MPI/Dark Sky Films announced that June 14th will be the official release date for HATCHET III, the third entry in the popular franchise created by ArieScope Pictures’ Adam Green. The film marks the directorial debut of BJ McDonnell who previously has handled A and B camera operations on such features as Rob Zombie’s Halloween remake, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and Adam Green’s first two Hatchet films.

HATCHET III is set to open in New York City’s Cinema Village and in Los Angeles at Laemmle Music Hall. Opening week will feature special appearances by cast and crew, followed by Q&A’s at each location. Additional cities will be announced at a later date.

Danielle Harris and Kane Hodder return in HATCHET III and are joined by Zach Galligan (Gremlins), Derek Mears (Friday the 13th 2009), Caroline Williams (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs) and others.

HATCHET III continues the tale of the now-iconic villain Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder).
