Phantasm V: RavagerRelease Date: TBD
In 2004, six years after the release of 'Phantasm IV: Oblivion', series director Don Coscarelli told Fangoria, "I’d also still like to do another 'Phantasm' film. Reggie Bannister and Angus Scrimm are still in great shape and raring to go."
In March 2005, it was announced that Coscarelli was in the final stages of talks with New Line Cinema to produce a new entry. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new film was "being developed as a relaunch and as a possible trilogy about Mike's coming of age." This version never came to fruition.
Rumors about a sequel were reignited in June 2007 by footage contained in Don Coscarelli's Farewell to The Alamo Drafthouse, featuring Angus Scrimm and A. Michael Baldwin in their roles. However an interview with Reggie Bannister surfaced on YouTube, and, when asked about the possibility of a fifth film, he stated there was no activity or development but that anything was possible in the future.
In June 2012, rumors again surfaced that Coscarelli would begin a fourth sequel. According to a report on Dread Central, a reliable source told them the script was completed and filming would begin later in the year. Coscarelli disputed this claim, publicly stating, "I have no solid news to report on a new project now."
The director, however, was being coy with film news sites. According to what Coscarelli and new co-writer-director Dan Hartman told Entertainment Weekly, the film was shot secretly in and around southern California during 2012 and 2013.
On March 26, 2014, news of the fourth sequel being completed was released via various film news sites. The next day, a teaser trailer debuted on the film's official site.
<<<This... is that teaser. (obviously)
