Hostel/Cabin Fever writer/director Eli Roth is two weeks away from finishing a script for a science-fiction action film inspired by Cloverfield and Transformers.
“This will be my first big-budget, PG-13, mass-destruction movie,” Roth revealed. “I went total chaos and pandemonium. I feel like I pushed the violence in R movies about as far as I can push it. I feel like I’m bled out. I wanna switch it up. Everyone I know has been saying ‘When are you gonna do a movie my kids can see?’ And finally, I’m gonna make a movie that 13-year-old kids can see.”
No plot details have been revealed but Roth plans to make a big announcement [...]

Director Eli Roth (Hostel, Thanksgiving) and actor Josh Brolin (Goonies, No Country For Old Men) sat down and had a conversation and MySpace shot it for their video interview feature Artists on Artists.
Josh Brolin tells the story of how he got Robert Rodriguez to shoot his audition tape for No Country, while Quentin Tarantino directed. Roth talks about his experience meeting Joel Cohan, and unleashing fanboy praise upon him. Brolin discusses his very short conversation with ‘The Brothers. They also discuss the value of test screening films. Roth talks about writing movies in long hand in public locations, advice he got from Tarantino. Roth also shares a couple of the [...]

“Arrive hungry…leave stuffed.”
Eli Roth’s movie trailer for a fake horror movie titled Thanksgiving was one of the most talked about parts of Grindhouse. Even the outspoken crowd of Roth-bashers seemed to like Roth’s hilarious take on the Holiday slasher flicks. Ever since Thanksgiving hit theaters, Roth has been fielding requests from fans for a feature length version of the idea. And while I’m not sure that’s a good idea (I think the trailer works because it is a series of greats slasher movie money shots, and like most great SNL sketches, wouldn’t translate to a 90+ minute movie), but Roth has promised a second helping of Thanksgiving in his upcoming [...]

So many people loved Eli Roth’s fake trailer Thanksgiving (which was of course attached to Grindhouse, which you didn’t see because, well, who did… but for the record, I saw it 3 times in the theater), that Roth announced that he wanted to doa full movie of fake trailers called Trailer Trash. And today, Roth has confirmed to our friends at Bloody-Disgusting that MGM will be released the movie in theaters on August 22nd 2008. So yes, another pre-strike movie!
Trailer Trash is not a horror film, it’s a comedy. It will be very R-rated and completely insane, and I’m producing it with Mike Fleiss (who I did both “Hostel” films [...]

Last week I went to a screening of Hostel: Part II (which I really enjoyed). Eli Roth was in attendance and did a question and answer session following the screening. It was the first time Hostel 2 was screened for the public, so Roth was relieved to see that the audience loved the film. We recorded the Q&A, and are posting it for your enjoyment. Be warned, Roth does talk about some of the film’s plot points and twists. So if you haven’t yet seen the film, you might want to shy away. Also note that their is a brief pause where our recorder stopped for 30 seconds. Luckily we [...]
