Eli Roth talked to MTV Movies Blog about his upcoming behind-the-camera movies that he has coming up and he announced that he is turning his Grindhouse trailer Thanksgiving into a movie! Thanksgiving was one of the only two things I liked (the other was the car ax scenes one for each of their gruesome deaths) in the Grindhouse movie. I am so freaking excited to see what he cooks up for it especially since this is how he described it:
“the sickest, bloodiest, most violent slasher movie,†he said of the “Thanksgiving†flick inspired by the holiday-themed horror classics of the ‘80s. “I want to make the highest body count slasher film I can.â€Â
How bloody awesome does that sound! I love a good slasher film and I know after Cabin Fever, Eli will make it a cut above the rest!
As you can see in the first sentence I said movies and that wasn’t a typo! He added that he is preparing to film his first big budget film this fall.
“I don’t want to give away the title yet, because I have to make sure I own it 100%, but it’s going to be something that is really fun with lots of mass destruction,†he said. “I wanted to do something along the lines of ‘Transformers’ or ‘Cloverfield’ that was a little more science fiction-based, and with lots of chaos and mass destruction.â€Â
“I don’t want to say what [the monster is] yet,†Roth added. “Once it gets set up, I will let everyone know. It is not aliens or robots or a virus – it’s a little more grounded. But when people hear it they are going to be like ‘That is going to be insane!’.â€Â
“The plan is this: I want to do a huge budget movie, but tack on three weeks to the end of it and shoot ‘Thanksgiving’,†he revealed. “I want to do an $80 million dollar movie, and then schedule three weeks at the end to quickly shoot a $5 million dollar movie.â€Â
He is currently finishing up the script for that movie that he put on pause so he could do another movie in front of the camera called Inglourious Basterds. And on that note, here are some new scenes from IB that were too firey hot for American Idol yesterday when Quentin Tarantino was a guest mentor! And this is what Eli Roth blogged on his MySpace about them!
This was what was originally cut to air on “American Idol.” And yes, that’s me at the end, and that roaring inferno was real. No CGI bullsh!t. Omar and I almost got incinerated!
That inferno looks absolutely amazing, luckily he got out of there OK! I am so excited for IB that is coming out on August 21st, but you already know that!
