Lionsgate Wants to Return to the Cube

Lionsgate is presently fielding pitches for Cube 3D, a source tells us.

That's right, it's either a direct sequel, a reboot or a redo of the 1997 sci-fi/horror thriller which actually preceded the Lionsgate's fixation on a certain franchise that also heavily utilized enclosed spaces, strangers and traps (SAW).





The original Cube put director Vincenzo Natali (Splice) on the genre map and concerned a group of strangers who were confined to a series of rooms, each one containing (or not) a lethal device.

Cube spawned a 2002 sequel, Cube 2: Hypercube, directed by Andrzej Sekula, the cinematographer known for his work on Reservoir Dogsand Pulp Fiction.

Later, Lionsgate released the prequel Cube: Zero.






It's too early in the game to know what approach Lionsgate is taking with Cube 3D, but we'll update you as more information comes in.

I have only seen the first Cube movie but a 3D movie in that franchise would be sort of cool.

The two sequels aren't as good as the original was.

They are worth watching if you want to see things explained since the original Cube didn't explain anything at all.

I'll probably watch the sequels at some point to get the explanations. I have seen Cube twice. I first saw it a couple of years back on IFC or Sundance.
