After making a name for himself in the horror genre first with Cabin Fever and then two Hostel movies, Eli Roth is now trying his hand at a different (but not always unrelated) genre, with a sci-fi movie called Endangered Species. Not much is known about the project at this point in time other than the name; that it’s apparently going to be made in the $60 million budget range; and that Roth wants to make a movie where he can really destroy a lot of stuff on-screen.
To give us a little bit (albeit not that much) of an update on Endangered Species, Roth spoke with i09.com at the Syfy Entertainment Weekly party. He spoke about what he has in mind for his first sci-fi movie and revealed he wants it to be in the vein of Jurassic Park, Transformers and Cloverfield, saying that it’s, “scary but also PG-13 – it does not necessarily need to be gory.”
I’m liking the sound of that last part…
