Last night Fangoria posted some quite hostile (no pun intended) news regarding Eli Roth and various scripts for Lions Gate's Cabin Fever 2 (more here)- well today Eli had a chance to clear the air. Inside you'll find word directly from the director of the popular Cabin Fever and hopefully we'll see a sequel in the works sometime soon...

Eli writes in



"I am here in Prague finishing up HOSTEL, and I got a weird call from my friend Eythor in Iceland, who's reading on line that I'm in a legal dispute with Lion's Gate. This was strange news to me, because I have absolutely no legal battle with them whatsoever about anything.



I love everyone over at Lion's Gate and have had nothing but great experiences working with them. I have a very full plate with HOSTEL and numerous other projects so I'm not involved with CABIN FEVER 2.



My concept for the sequel was a SONG OF THE SOUTH-style half-animated film where Deputy Winston sings songs (ones I was forced to learn in Hebrew school) to imaginary creatures in his head, and has sex with the burned, rotted corpses of everyone who died in the original, but they didn't go for it. Go figure.



However, my CABIN FEVER co-writer Randy Pearlstein had a KICK ASS idea for the sequel, and I believe they are going to shoot that draft, so I want nothing more than for it to be a great film. I told them all it should be better than the first one, and with Randy's script, if they get the right director that's a real possibility.



But I was never considering directing the sequel unless it was an animated musical about a corpse-raping deputy, and even I recognize that's probably not the most accessible idea. (Watch the last easter egg with Deputy Winston on the DVD and you will see the first installment of this concept...)"



More news to come.
