Eli Roth and his wife (who has not been identified) welcomed their first baby today.
“Donatella Sophia, Born 3:33pm. ❤️,” the Horror director wrote. “Already practicing my Bear Jew entrance for when her boyfriends come to pick her up.”
Could you imagine her boyfriends knocking on the door and seeing her dad answer as his Inglourious Basterds character? They will run away faster than people did to get into the store for a Black Friday bargain in Thanksgiving.
It took 16 years for Thanksgiving to go from a fake trailer in the Grindhouse double feature to being a real movie on the big screen. And good things come to those who wait.
Today, Eli Roth announced that we won’t have to wait that long for Thanksgiving 2. However, we will have to wait until 2025 because he wants to take a year off so that he and Jeff Rendell can “make it better than the first one.”
As a huge fan of Roth movies, who thinks Cabin Fever is one of the greatest Horror movies ever made, I think that Thanksgiving is his best film to date.
I just hope that he doesn’t do a Terrifier 2 and be gory just to be gory. There were some awesome kills in Thanksgiving, and he can top them, but it doesn’t have to be over-torturous.
Are you sick of your family serving dry turkey on Thanksgiving? Well, this year, you can moisten it with blood instead of gravy, thanks to Eli Roth.
In 2007, Eli Roth created a mock trailer called Thanksgiving for the Grindhouse double feature. Now, 16 years, that film is becoming a reality, and the fourth Thursday of November will never be the same.
After a Black Friday riot ends in tragedy, a mysterious Thanksgiving-inspired killer terrorizes Plymouth, Massachusetts – the birthplace of the holiday. Picking off residents one by one, what begins as random revenge killings are soon revealed to be part of a larger, sinister holiday plan. Will the town uncover the killer and survive the holidays…or become guests at his twisted holiday dinner table?
Thanksgiving stars Patrick Dempsey, Milo Manheim, Rick Hoffman, Addison Rae, and Gina Gershon, and will be released on November 17th.
Back in 2007, Eli Roth made a trailer for a fake movie called Thanksgiving that was part of the Grindhouse movies Planet Terror and Death Proof.
Sixteen years later, that trailer is becoming a reality. The movie is currently filming in Massachusetts and stars Patrick Dempsey, Rick Hoffman, Addison Rae, Gina Gershon, and Milo Manheim.
Not much is known, but Roth wrote this with the date announcement, “Arrive hungry. Leave stuffed. #ThanksgivingMovie only in cinemas November 17th. This year, there will be no leftovers. 🔪🦃”
This news makes me so happy because I watch Horror movies based on the holiday on the day of that holiday. And I desperately need a break from Thankskilling and Thankskilling 3. So, I hope this is good because there are not enough Turkey Day horror movies to choose from.
This is not the first fake trailer from the Grindhouse film to become a feature. In 2010, Robert Rodriguez released Machete with Danny Trejo.
