Eli Roth Updates 'Thanksgiving' and more

Arriving in theaters August 21 from Universal Pictures and the Weinstein Company is Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. One of the main stars of the film is horror maestro Eli Roth, who plays a Nazi killer by the name of "Bear Jew." This afternoon B-D's own BD caught up with the director of Cabin fever and Hostel who updated us on a few of his forthcoming projects, including his feature-film version of Thanksgiving, the faux trailer in QT and Rodriguez's Grindhouse.

Out promoting his role in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (which is QT's best film in over a decade), Eli Roth dropped a few bits concerning Thanksgiving, which has been talked about quite a bit lately.

"My co-writer Jeff [Rendell] just landed yesterday in Los Angeles. He flew out for the premiere and so we can finish the script, Eli tells us adding that it won't be coming anytime in the near future. "I don't want to do it as my next film but I want to get the script finished. The sci-fi film, Endangered Species, is what I'm doing next."

He also stresses that he has no direct involvement with Hostel 3. "No, I'm done. Somebody will, that was part of the deal - that they were allowed to continue doing them without me. And that's what the fans want, clearly there's a demand for it. But I have left it to go on to other things."

In the meantime, Eli fans can check out Inglourious Basterds on August 21st - it might not be a horror film, but it's a damn good one.

I'm just not buying this. Roth is cut from the Tarantino cloth... which is to say, he'll talk about THANKSGIVING for years and maybe someday, if he has absolutely else on his plate, finally get around to actually doing it. I want this movie as badly as anyone, since 99% of the recent "80s throwback" slasher films have missed the mark almost completely. Unfortunately, I just don't see Roth being excited enough about the project to carry it through without becoming distracted by other ventures (in particular, acting). When I hear a guy in Hollywood say, "Well, I'm not doing that next.", I take that to mean "Well, I'm not doing that unless someone gives me a really good reason to." (meaning money). And if MACHETE somehow fails to turn a profit, you can pretty much forget anyone putting up the funding for a throwback slasher, even at a projected budget of $5-10 mil. Let's hope I'm wrong on this one...

"QT's best film in over a decade." I doubt that and I'm sure I won't agree. I have no interest mainly bc I hate Brad Pitt.

I hope Inglorious Basterds is as good as it looks. It has a hell of a cast, and QT is never bad when he really goes all out. He's been talking about this project for years and years, so I hope all that time worked for him. As for Thanksgiving, I hope we get to see it really soon. I have a good feeling about Eli Roth. Each film he does is better than the last, so I'm expecting something great from him.

When you consider Kill Bill and Death Proof are the only movies QT has directed in the last decade, that's not really saying much. Topic at hand: I'm beginning to wonder if any of these "Eli Roth projects" will ever see the light of day. Did Hostel 2 really perform that bad at the box office?

Thanksgiving looks awesome!

What Kill Bill is one of my favorite movies, it's a master piece. Basterds looks really good, and as for Eli, dude needs to do less talking and more work.

He needs to do Thanksgiving next. Everyone wants it and everyone is waiting for it.

Hostel 2 was released on the intranets like a month before the movie came out, so no one went to see it ...... And how can anyone hate Brad Pitt ? He is the alfa male of the planet Earth. If someday a vampire / zombie / alien invasion were to hit earth, I would be look for Brad Pitt to save us all. The guy can fuck my wife if he wants ... he's awesome.

Is anyone really that excited about Thanksgiving? Eli Roth is ok, but he's not great. I don't see what QT sees in him.
