Trent Haaga Clears Up ‘Deadgirl 2′ Fiasco

There was so much talk about “Deadgirl” leading up to and following it’s television premiere on Chiller, that writers in the blogosphere actually dreamed up a sequel. Well, there were a lot of conflicting reports, while writer Trent Haaga remained silent.

Silent no more, folks! Trent has finally put the rumors to rest (for the most part) on his own site.

Anyone who reads this blog knows that I wrote the DEADGIRL 2 script almost a year ago (HERE’s the post). And although I did write the script in response to some of the accusations of misogyny in the first, it’s NOT about girls finding a dead boy …

… Regardless, if there ever is a DEADGIRL 2, I won’t end up being involved in it (although I suspect that some elements that I introduced may end up getting stolen – if that happens, things will end up getting messy and full of lawyers and I don’t look forward to that) … I don’t want to go into detail here, but there’s been a creative schism in the DEADGIRL partnership and only one of us has the rights to the words DEADGIRL 2 … and since I’m only the writer and the guy who dreamt up the whole thing to begin with, you KNOW that person isn’t me. Personally, at this point, I’d like to see DEADGIRL 2 NEVER happen … I’d prefer to keep the first one the classic it is and move on with my career.
