Eli Roth Confirms 'Trailer Trash' Date, New Details!

After Eli Roth's faux trailer, THANKSGIVING (watch it), stole the show in Dimension Films' Grindhouse this past April, Roth confirmed rumors that he was working a feature length film entitled Trailer Trash. Not much was revealed other than it would be a full-length film consisting of fake movie trailers that all tie together. Today Roth confirmed that MGM will be releasing the film on August 22 and sent in a little bit more. Read on for the skinny.



Eli Roth writes into Bloody-Disgusting:

"...that's the date (August 22, 2008)! TRAILER TRASH was inspired by the two days we filmed "Thanksgiving," which was the most fun I've ever had filming anything.

Trailer Trash is not a horror film, it's a comedy. It will be very R-rated and completely insane, and I'm producing it with Mike Fleiss (who I did both "Hostel" films with), and writing it with my friends Jeff Rendell (my "Thanksgiving" co-writer, who also played The Pilgrim), Noah Belson (my co-creator on "The Rotten Fruit,") and my brother Gabe, who's collaborated with me on everything I've ever done.

I want to make a film like "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," which I consider to be the greatest achievement in the history of cinema. The best part is I get to shoot some new THANKSGIVING scenes, as well as other holiday slasher films I've always dreamed of making but never would because they'd completely ruin me. I can't wait to shoot!"

Can't wait. Thanksgiving was the best of the Grindhouse trailers. Hope to see more like it. Maybe a trailer for a Rotten Fruit movie?

"The best part is I get to shoot some new THANKSGIVING scenes, as well as other holiday slasher films I've always dreamed of making but never would because they'd completely ruin me. I can't wait to shoot!" .......so feature length films would ruin him, but a feature length film of clips from a bunch of them wont?

Dear Eli, Please stop it. You are not as great as you seem to think you are. Love, Me

I really want to see this but I think it would do better for a straght to DVD release. Eli is one of my favorite directors out nowadays. But I really can't wait for Cell.

It does seem strange that he's not more excited about making Cell. The book is crying out for a movie adaptation and if done properly it could be a great movie. I think this is especially true now when there seems to be a trend for post-apocalyptic horror (28 Weeks Later, I am Legend, Resident Evil: Extinction). I can see why he would want to make a comedy, and also perhaps why the concept of Cell might not be too exciting for him. Cell is quite a large vision and the book is very dark in tone. I'm not entirely sure he's the best director for the job. What do you guys think?
