Sequels
In 2008, McDonald announced plans to make sequel to Hard Core Logo that will begin shooting early 2009 with a third instalment to follow shortly thereafter. The director said, ""You look at Planet of the Apes – they squeezed five (films) out of that. And Saw is up to five now and Rocky is probably up to seven, so we're thinking, `Well, why not build our own little army?'" Filming on Hard Core Logo 2 is set to begin on February 22, 2010. The bulk of it will be done in the Saskatchewan communities of Watrous and Manitou Beach. It features Toronto band Die Mannequin, fronted by Care Failure. It is confirmed to debut at the Whistler Film Festival in December 2010.
McDonald asked Daniel MacIvor to write a My Dinner with Andre-style screenplay that would be a sequel to Hard Core Logo, with Hugh Dillon and Callum Keith Rennie playing the roles. However, scheduling (among other reasons) kept it from moving forward. After some discussion, McDonald and MacIvor decided to rewrite the screenplay for two women, with Molly Parker and Tracy Wright in mind. The film was released in 2010 as Trigger. Rennie has a cameo in the film, reprising his role as Billy Tallent.
