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...
