BitTORRENT MAY KILL ZOMBIELAND SEQUEL, WRITER CLAIMS
Zombieland co-writer Rhett Reese was shocked when he discovered more than a million people had downloaded his movie illegally on BitTorrent. The Hollywood writer has now penned yet another horror scenario, claiming that this achievement could very well prevent a sequel to the successful movie from being made. Report by Ernesto of TorrentFreak.
Recently the makers of the indie film, Ink, thanked piracy for promoting their film. “We’ve embraced the piracy and are just happy Ink is getting unprecedented exposure,” they said.
Ink was downloaded more than 400,000 times the previous week and ended up in fourth place in TorrentFreak’s weekly chart of most downloaded movies on BitTorrent, where Zombieland occupied the top spot.
Zombieland co-writer Rhett Reese has been following TorrentFreak’s most pirated movies chart as well, and thus the online success of his film. “Zombieland currently the most pirated movie on bit torrent. Over one million downloads and counting,” he tweeted recently.
However, unlike the makers of Ink, Reese is not pleased with this achievement.
