Three years after finishing “The Human Centipede” trilogy, Dutch writer/director Tom Six is officially set to return to theaters with his latest horror shocker “The Onania Club.” While specific plot details have thus far remained a mystery, the newly released first official trailer introduces a woman protagonist aroused by scenes of immense violence or tragedy. Distracted from her marriage, child, and friendships, she discovers an underground group of women with similar predilections. Early promotion for the movie promised “one of the most vile, inhumane movie experiences of all time,” and anyone familiar with “The Human Centipede” trilogy knows that Six can deliver.
Here’s the official synopsis: “Hanna secretly joins a group called The Onania Club. Its members, strong independent L.A. bound women, get aroused by the misery of others. Hanna meets more misery than she could ever hope for and in the process loses everything she holds dear.

The Human Centipede 3 is ready to start filming in May - for real this time. Nearly a year ago, production was halted before it even began over contract disputes between writer / director Tom Six and Centipede 1 star Dieter Laser. The legal dispute has been settled, everyone is friends again, and Laser will appear in HC3 as Tom Six intended.
Ilona Six, Centipede producer and Tom's sister, told EW that Laser will star in part three, along with Laurence R. Harvey, star of part two. The pair will play "a new, villainous duo with a storyline no one will expect." Ilona also says that "a big American celebrity" will have a cameo, and she confirms that the human centipede will be over 500 people long.

EW can exclusively reveal that Human Centipede star Dieter Laser has settled his differences with director Tom Six and will appear in the third film of the notoriously gruesome horror franchise.

Filming on the third instalment of the controversial horror series is delayed as director Tom Six and star Dieter Laser argue over the script
As those who've seen the first two instalments in Tom Six's horror series will know, there isn't much wriggle room in The Human Centipede. And so it seems to be proving behind the scenes, too, with an impasse between Six and actor Dieter Laser threatening to hold up filming on the third film in the franchise, which had been scheduled to start in June.
Laser had long been rumoured to return in the new film, reprising his role as the dastardly doctor who first has a crack at sewing together three kidnap victims mouth-to-anus, despite his character receiving a bullet to the head in the first film's final reel. The fate of his opposite number in the second film, however, was less ambiguous: Laurence Harvey's obese car-park attendant,...

Human Centipede star Dieter Laser might have to put his money where his mouth is. The gross-out franchise’s director Tom Six (pictured), through his company Six Entertainment, is threatening to sue the star of The Human Centipede and The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) for breach of contract.
“Because of the success of The Human Centipede, it seems that Mr. Dieter Laser’s ego has grown to laughably big proportions,” said producer (and Tom’s sister) Ilona Six in a statement. She continued that Laser “demand his own unacceptable script changes” and backed out of the role “only seven weeks prior to shooting.

Six is said to be taking legal action against Laser, who played the sinister Dr Heiter in 2009's cult horror The Human Centipede (First Sequence), after the German actor reneged on an agreement to appear in the third instalment.

A few weeks ago we brought you the news that The Human Centipede: Final Sequence was underway, with Tom Six welcoming previous stars Dieter Laser and Laurence Harvey back to the fold. But it now seems that all is not going quite according to plan: Laser appears to have pulled out, and Six is preparing a lawsuit.There's much speculation that this is all a publicity stunt designed to keep the threequel in the spotlight. Whether that's the case or not (and if it is, it's working, since, well, here we are), what's emerged so far is fightin' talk.The first service predictably came from Six, in a tweet (in shouty capitals) that goes thusly: "Breaking News: My Company Will Sue Actor Dieter Laser!!!

Director Tom Six has been planning to begin shooting the third "Human Centipede" installment in June and has promised to bring back both Dieter Laser and Laurence Harvey, the villains of the first two films.

More terrifying than anything found in The Human Centipede movies is what is going on behind-the-scenes: contract disputes. Dieter Laser, star of the first Centipede, was scheduled to return for part three, along with part two lead Laurence R. Harvey. But according to Screen Read, Laser has dropped out of the project. Producer Ilona Six promised Fangoria that they would pursue legal action. More after the jump. In an email to Screen Read, Laser wrote: "It's very simple: I loved the story when it was told, got the contract and the promise to have the script in 4 to 6 weeks.

When it arrived – half a year later and only after the official announcement – I didn’t like the realization at all, couldn’t identify with the character the way it was written and developed immediately and enthusiastically in a day and night marathon a version full of concrete and practical suggestions which would enable me to play the lead full throttle – same procedure as with Dr. Heiter – but this time it also would have had some unavoidable effects to the dramatic structure.

Tom Six was all set to blow America’s minds (and probably destroy the universe while he’s at it) later this year with the start of production on the third entry in his “Human Centipede” franchise around May and June. That will now have to wait, because there has been a slight bump in Six’s master plan. The third film would have teamed up the two villains from the series’ first two films, played by Dieter Laser and Laurence R. Harvey, but now it’s looking likely that Martin (Harvey’s character) will have to find another partner, because Six and Laser are now suing each other. Yup, you read that correctly.

Writer-director Tom Six’s The Human Centipede quickly became one of the most talked-about horror films in recent years after its release in 2010, and the franchise grew in notoriety and controversy last year with The Human Centipede 2, which was first rejected by the BBFC, and then ultimately granted an 18 rating after making a number of cuts to the film. (You can read our interview with Six about the banning here.)
We heard towards the end of last year that Six had always been planning the franchise as a trilogy. Now more news of the final instalment comes from EW, via ComingSoon.net, revealing that The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence) will see the return of both Dieter Laser and Laurence R.

And it will be screened by Film4 FrightFest.
Yes, technically our British brethren are not getting the entire Full Sequence, but just a mere two minutes and 37 seconds (32 individual cuts in all, including "…lips being stapled to naked buttocks…" Is it immature to giggle at that thought? Buttocks, huh huh) have been removed. No doubt there's still plenty of depravity for the audience to enjoy.
The screening will be the midnight show at the Film4 FrightFest Halloween All-Nighter on October 29. Read on for the details.

The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) will be screened at the Film4 FrightFest Halloween all-nighter in London this month. The controversial film was passed by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) yesterday following two minutes and 37 seconds of cuts. Director Tom Six and producer Ilona Six will attend the film's UK premiere at the Vue Cinema in London's Leicester Square on Saturday, October 29. Tickets for the all-nighter are priced at £50 and are available now. The BBFC had initially refused to classify the film and claimed that "cuts are not a viable option".

Going to be in Austin between September 22nd and the 29th? If so, then you should spend quite a bit of time at this year’s Fantastic Fest.
