dieter laser holds up production on human centipede 3 -2012

Fans were excited and surprised when Tom Six announced that Dieter Laser would return with Laurence Harvey in ‘The Human Centipede 3‘, but we just got word from the director that demands from his star will hold up production and a lawsuit is imminent.

Tom Six was all set to begin production on ‘The Human Centipede 3‘ in June with Dieter Laser, Laurence Harvey and even himself in the film, but things have come to a halt as we received an e-mail from producer Ilona Six. It appears that Dieter Laster, the star and memorable villain from the first ‘Human Centipede’ signed on for the film and liked the script but suddenly demanded script changes. Laser is now apparently refusing to play the part with a June shooting date looming ahead. The Six Entertainment Company is set to begin legal proceedings against the actor, and as many in this industry know, it can get rather messy and expensive for everyone. Below is the missive we received from the Six camp.

Six Entertainment Company Statement
Tom Six’s company will sue Dieter Laser.

Because of the success of The Human Centipede, it seems that Mr Dieter
Laser’s ego has grown to laughably big proportions. First signing the
contract and rating the THC3 script as fantastic ,and then demanding his
own unacceptable script changes, and now refusing to play the part only
seven weeks prior to shooting. Six Entertainment Company will start
legal action against Dieter Laser. Tom Six says not to worry – principal
photography will be postponed and will take place later this year.

Best Regards,

Ilona Six
Film Producer

Dieter Laser Statement
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. That was too much for Tom and since he couldn’t live with my suggestions and I as a method actor couldn’t identify with his version, I told him that I couldn’t see any other way than that he would have to “change horses”. That’s it.

I honestly don't have a clue how the story can work with Laurence, dieter and Tom in it 0.o they each have theyre individual roles, and act upon each other, how can they be all in a film? How's it gonna end? Can't wait for this, dieter looks so evil, I hope he will be in the next one, and if he's not, I'm sure Tom will find someone just as good :) hopefully it will be more disturbing than a Serbian film xD

Dieter, you're so full of it. I've talked with Tom yesterday and all you cared about was the cash. You demanded a substantial pay rise, and don't come with this method acting excuse, because that's something a C-actor like yourself can only dream about. Tom already asked Udo Kier, and he's almost in. I really hope Tom will sue you for your last penny left!

Please, guys, come to a compromise so that you both can be happy. Tom Six, we fans would rather have Dieter Laser and a later release date as opposed to an ontime release date with someone else playing Dr. Heiter. That is all.
