Henry Rollins Stars in Wrong Turn 2

Former Black Flag frontman turned solo musician/writer Henry Rollins is no stranger to the world of acting. The angry punk rocker seems to have mellowed a little with age, and he now finds himself in an unlikely situation, living in L.A. and rubbing shoulders with celebrities even though he isn’t necessarily a huge name himself. He’s gotten by in recent years by doing spoken word tours, often filled with anecdotes of his latest adventures in showbiz, as he lives on the fringes of Hollywood. Now it looks like he’ll soon have another great story to tell, as Rollins has landed his first lead role (as far as I know) in a somewhat dubious project — a direct-to-video sequel to the 2003 horror flick Wrong Turn. The original was about a family of cannibalistic mountain men who hunt down trespassers in the remote West Virginia woods they call home. The sequel will be directed by Joe Lynch, from a screenplay written by Turi Meyer and Al Septien (who previously wrote Leprechaun 2, Candyman: Day of the Dead, and the Carrot Top comedy Chairman of the Board!). Oh Henry… what have you gotten yourself into now? Rollins also currently hosts his own talk show on IFC called The Henry Rollins Show.

  • I liked the premise of Wrong Turn, but didn’t like the part with the treehouse, the fire and the night setting.

    Hopefully this one is better or at least continues on in a logical fashion….more gore too!!!

  • I like him as the angry pissed off dude. I think I’ll keep that memory alive and forget that I ever read these news.

  • Didn’t he play his dream role as a cop in “Speed”?

  • Chopper

    hank is the man!

    no he wasnt the cop in Speed, he played a cop in Bad Boys 2, and was in Heat, Jack Frost.

    i liked the first flick, i dont think this direct to video is going to be great, the only good thing about it is HANK!

  • Ahhh, no, I was thinking of “The Chase”….

    Here is his movie roster.
