Film News: Eli Roth has 'House' sequel 'ready'

Are fans ready for more Lewis Barnavelt? Eli Roth has a story "ready" for a  The House with a Clock in its Walls sequel, according to Celebretainment:

The forthcoming thriller fantasy film - starring Jack Black and Cate Blanchett - is yet to hit cinema screens, but the 46-year-old director is crossing his fingers that it does well at the box office because he's got a script ready for the follow-up.

Speaking to talkRADIO at the premiere of the film in London on Wednesday (Sept. 5) night, Roth said: "The sequel, and this is the truth, is entirely in the hands in the public. It's not up to me. We would love to do it.

"Cate, Jack and I had the time of our lives shooting this movie, we have a story ready. There were 12 books written in this series - starting in 1973 - so I would love to continue telling these stories but it's completely up to the public, if people come see it then we'll do another one."
