We spoke with thevelocipastor 2 director Jesse Gouldsbury about what's next for the series, and the pressure of picking up where a cult classic left off
Last week, the filmmakers behind the viral cult hit The VelociPastor took to Kickstarter in the hopes of funding a sequel. Velocipastor 2 is bigger in scope, taking the characters to Italy to face off against a slasher aiming to kill as many virgins as they can at a fertility festival. Brendan Steere, who wrote and directed the first film, wrote the new one with producer Jesse Gouldsbury, who will direct the sequel while Steere produces.
"We're not doing CG," Gouldsbury told ComicBook.com."I have no qualms with, or anything really against CGI. There's so much skill that goes into making something look hyper-realistic, or even getting to do a stylized thing. It's such a cool medium. I'm not good at CGI. I've opened up Blender a few times to do some stuff for 3D printing, but I really respect what they're doing. It's just not where my skills lie.
As far as getting those casual viewers to look at it? Well, he knows it's harder when there's no element of surprise, but he thinks that the film -- which has become a cult classic in the years since its release -- created a world that the sequel can expand on in a fun way. "Doug is leaving the church, but I don't think that has impacted his beliefs and his moral standings," Gouldsbury explained."Now, he's exploring what other religions are, so he's like 'Qait a minute, who's Yahweh? Tiime to figure that one out!' He's taking information from all the different religions, to figure out 'Where do I stand?' So there's a lot of soul-searching for Doug in this one....
