There is going to be a sequel to the 2010 cult hit Hot Tub Time Machine, and it looks like it is going to start filming in New Orleans this summer.
Reportedly, the movie will once again feature a time traveling hot tub and most of the original cast, including Clark Duke, Craig Robinson, and Rob Corddry, are expected to return.
Movie Details:
While appearing on the Howard Stern Show Corddry explained a bunch of additional facts, including one particularly revealing nugget: Scott will be playing the son of Cusack’s character as the hot tub sends the group into the future. Read more below.
Corddry told Stern Hot Tub Time Machine 2 will primarily take place 10 years in the future. However, since the first film wasn’t a massive hit and this sequel is pretty much a labor of love, the budget is significantly lower. So they’ve worked the lack of budget for cool future tech into the script. He gave one example, where the characters joke about how the future hasn’t changed that much and, as they’re walking away, they don’t see a guy putting a pug on a Hoverboard.
He also said the tentative title until two weeks ago was “Hot Tub Time Machine 3: Because Hot Tub Time Machine 2 Hasn’t Happened Yet.” However the marketing department forced them to change it .
