"When I was working at Tower Video, we had it on the monitors all the time. It was a real popular popcorn movie, he says."
"I loved Krull and the original Conan the Barbarian, says Slash. And I loved Deathstalker. It was sort of tongue-in-cheek, exaggerated and low budget, and it had this great theme song."
"I knew that Steve could make it better than the budget. Other fantasy films from the period proved an inspiration."
"It was really a passion project."
Slash is producing a requel of the cult classic Deathstalker, which premiered at the Locarno film festival. His interest in the film stems from nostalgia; it was frequently shown during his time at Tower Video. The project involves Canadian producers and director Steve Kostanski, known for practical effects and a style reminiscent of past fantasy films like Krull and Conan the Barbarian. The film aims to capture the tongue-in-cheek, low budget charm of the original while serving as a unique version rather than a direct remake. Daniel Bernhardt stars in the lead role.
