Bijou Phillips from Hostel 2

October 25th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Out this week on DVD is Hostel 2, which stars Bijou Phillips, Roger Bart, Heather Matarazzo and was directed by Eli Roth. The first Hostel was a huge success, and everyone had really high hopes for the sequel. However, the film only opened to a $8.2 million dollar weekend, which disappointed some people. But to Eli Roth’s credit, Hostel 2 has become the most illegally downloaded feature film of all time- which equals Zero dollars to the box office. Personally, if I was Eli I would have been very upset, because film making is a business. But on the flip side of things, as a film maker, the true goal is to get as many people as possible to see your artwork- so the coin has two sides. What do you guys think? Which is better… getting paid or having millions of people see your artwork?

While you’re deciding, check out this pic of Bijou that Yu Tsai shot a few months back…
