All You Need To Know About The Collector 3
Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, a filmmaking team, will be returning at the helm of The Collected, so continuing the horror series. The first movie opened in 2009 and followed a low-level thief searching for riches who discovers The Collector, a sadistic slasher, face-to--face. Though his exact identity is unknown, his needs are straightforward: murder, torture, "collect" victims to keep on exhibit in his lair, an abandoned hotel.
The Legacy of the Collector and Approach to Stardust
Though critics were indifferent, The Collector won compliments from viewers with its basic idea and return to classic slasher sensibilities. Originally developed by Dunstan and Melton, authors of Saw 4-7, The Collector was actually presented as a tale related to those movies. The pair brilliantly went off and got it made independently in 2009 when producers were not bought on the concept. Earning a sequel in 2012, The Collector became a cult favorite.
The Gathering: A Long-Awaited Return
Although a threequel was slated for 2020, several unanticipated events have caused the slasher follow-up to get caught in production hell. The Collected seems to be stuck now, and the gory horror series might make a comeback not too distant. Though their modern counterparts could provide some competition, the likes of Freddy, Jason, and Leatherface will always be the titans of terror.
The Latest News Collected
The first piece of encouraging news arrives as the directors provide a hopeful update on The Collected almost half-a-decade following the announcement of the threequel. Delayed owing to COVID-19 and other legal concerns, co-director Marcus Dunstan has verified that the sequel is now under active development. Dunstan declared unequivocally that "the legal elements holding it back were all alleviated," though he couldn't be very specific.
No release date or production start time has been set, thus it's unknown how far along the film is in its pre-production schedule. Read Dunstan's whole remarks below:
About four days ago, the legal grounds keeping it back were all eliminated. And it's returning, as far as I know. Shout it loud and proud: The Collector is returning. It comes free. For your mental fear, it will be a barrelling goods train. Indeed, we are able to accomplish it correctly. Right away, I want to say, It's coming back thanks to a gentleman named Todd, who has spent five years getting these rights all arranged. We are also not bringing it back until we believe it to be the best one. And that we honor the time we have been waiting since we have not been waiting on the bench staring sky-ward. We have been crafting and conceiving. Indeed, here comes it. And we want to respect this chance with something outstanding.
The Confirmed Collected
Before the COVID-19 epidemic closed the movie and TV business, the threequel was leaked; it was further postponed by a legal dispute stopping its production. Marcus Dunstan, co-director, re-confirming the sequel, makes one believe that the 2020 The Collected announcement is at last materializing.
Both of those obstacles have now been removed, and the film is at last starting real development. Still, this suggests it will probably be some time before The Collected starts production.
the gathered cast details
The official IMDb page for The Collected lists several names—both new and returning stars—that have been added to the cast. Logically, Josh Stewart is ready to once more perform as reformed thief Arkin and has acted in both movies in the trilogy thus far. Emma Fitzpatrick is also cast, thus she could be back as Elana from The Collection.
Though his character hasn't been revealed, horror icon Tom Atkins (Halloween III, The Fog) is also cast member. Another as-yet-undisclosed actor listed is comic Dot- Marie Jones. Juan Fernández performed the part of The Collector in The Collector and Randall Archer in The Collection.

Plot Details for Collected Areas
Though The Collection concluded in a way that set up quite interesting situations going forward, actual plot details in The Collected are being kept under wraps. After capturing The Collector, primary hero Arkin (Josh Stewart) has an opportunity to exact some kind of retribution against the infamous slasher villain. But evil cannot be contained that readily, thus it makes sense that The Collector's frenzy is just beginning.
With development finally headed forward on the threequel, real story elements should shortly be arriving.
