Riiiight. So Roth was going to direct "Cell"...and then "Trailer Trash"...but last month he was talking about making his $60 million monster movie....Now it's "Funhouse"... Who wants to bet this movie never happens either?

i agree. i'm not sure if it's customary or not to have 20 different projects (or pipe dreams?) "in the works" but as Saturdaythe13th mentions it was CELL, then TRAILER TRASH, then the one about the priest/exorcism, THEN the "CLOVERFIELD-esque" one and using some of the $ leftover from that movie to do THANKSGIVING and somehow fitting THE FUNHOUSE in amongst them? but on topic, i LOVE THE FUNHOUSE and i'd be open to a R RATED, GOOD remake but i'm not sure if i'm digging Roth's riff with this ("sewn eyes, etc). that sounds more like HOSTEL in a FUNHOUSE.

This could be awesome, and Roth could do excellent things with it. Hopefully he'll clarify his schedule soon, haha. This was one of those movies I always thought had a lot going for it, but never quite pays off in an effective way, as he mentions.

FUNHOUSE. ROTH. YES. GO !!!!!!!!

I don't care what you do Roth, just get something in the works ASAP! Can't wait to see Inglorious Basterds!!!

The original is one of Hooper's better films, Roth should stay the hell away from it. His 'style' would ruin it before the opening credits could even roll. If they had to give it an upgrade and a polish, I would rather see a more talented and experience director take a crack at it instead.

yeah eli roth is a cool guy, but shit man figure it the fuck out holy crap!

Ummm....I want Thanksgiving..So make Thanksgiving...Funhouse could be fun...but F*ckin make THanksgiving already...ok....damn....

If they remake Funhouse they need to go back to the book the film was based on. It is one of my favorite horror books and though I love Hooper's film they really dumbed it down from the book.

"We broke the news exclusively..." No you didn't.

It's about time Mr. Roth got his cameras rolling on something! All of his ideas sound interesting, but how fucking long will it take for them to actually materialize??...

I like Eli Roth, but you can tell he's been hanging around with Quentin Tarantino too much. Tarantino was another one who said "I'm making this and that" and then never delivered. I like both directors, but it's time to stop bullshitting us and get to work.

So, basically, he's not actually interested in remaking Funhouse. He's interested in making a movie about a killer in a Funhouse (been done many times, pal), and cashing in on the name during the remake craze. I don't think the original is brilliant, by any means. However, it's not a remake if you toss out the whole premise and use a completely different killer! BTW, for those who like the film, the novelization by Dean Koontz is actually one of his better, leaner works. Much better than the heavy, exposition-laden, self-congratulatory crap he's been putting out for the last 7 or 8 years.

YEs let's see more remake goodness. ohh... crap. I just vomited all over my laptop. though I have to say, if they do it anyway it's better if Roth does it

This was pretty freakey when I was kid.I'm sure Roth can had his gory brilliance to this film.I would definately check it out if he does it.

this is a good idea i like the original but there isdefinite room for a lot of improvement

This would be awsome if it happened.

People will whine about anything, even a creative filmmaker with too many ideas. Yes, projects come and go but interesting films do somehow get made. QT talked about Inglourious Basterds for YEARS. Guess what: it's coming soon. As to the remake of Funhouse daring to differ from the original... Seems like that is what it's all about. You can always watch original as well.

dude. seriously. this sounds really stupid. hostel-in-a-themepark, anyone? "yeah, i wanna, like, put teens in this fucked up place where they get killed in crazy ways! shit's gonna be gnarrrr, son!" sorry, bro. you've already done that. twice. it was lame both times. go make your $6 million thanksgiving; forget about this and forget about remaking cloverfield for $60 mil.

Hopefully this will never get remade. I don't see this working...

What's next? American Idol's Adam Lambert starring as Angela in a remake of Sleepaway Camp? Yikes!

I like the original, but it could definitely be improved upon. How about getting Neil Marshall (The Descent) to direct, hiring a good writer for the script and casting actors other than the usual ones from tv shows and other horror remakes. It could end up being really good.

Ugh, WHY?! Or how about NOT MAKING ANY MORE REMAKES? Eli's proven that he's got some fresh ideas; he doesn't need Tobe's knock-offs.

I LOVE Eili and his work, he's one of my biggest inspirations but he really does need to fig out what the fuck he's doin next! lol He has "Cell", that major budget monster movie he wants to do, he actually does want to do "Thanksgiving" now, "Trailer Trash", and now "Funhouse" which would be amazing the way he describin it, i have the original funhouse and Eli could definatly improve it. but seriously, JUST DO SOMTHING ALREADY!!!! lol

Eli said he was going to make that movie 'Thanksgiving', and 'Cotton'. Now he's talking about doing a remake of the classic movie 'The Funhouse'. I would rather he do the other two movies, Funhouse is a classic, it shouldn't be remade, and that's all!
