When pressed for more details a few days later, McQuaid (pictured) gave Fango the scoop on the proposed sequel: “I’m calling it THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF GRIMES & BLAKE,” he says of the project, which will topline the characters played by Fessenden and LOST’s Dominic Monahan. “It’s basically a giant undead heist movie in the vein of THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY! Obviously, Grimes and Blake are back, but they are mainly dealing with a whole slew of new and eccentric characters. I’m selling it as less of a sequel and more of continuation of the world and the duo.

“Of course, it all depends on Dom and Larry’s availability and desire to reprise the roles,” he continues. “Eileen Colgan would also come back as Maisey O’Connell. My hopes are to turn it into a graphic novel before developing it into a feature. I’m also eager to get another movie or two under my belt before going back into that world. Right now, I hope to get a project off the ground about crime and punishment in Dublin. If that goes ahead, it will be a terrific film along the lines of STRAW DOGS meets THE COMMITMENTS—but no singing, though!”

I SELL THE DEAD makes its East Coast premiere at this month’s Philadelphia Film festival (see details here), and will also play NYC’s IFC Center this spring (info here).
