Eli Roth may have made his first proper acting appearance in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds recently, but he’s still very much involved with a lot of producing and directing projects. But will he be involved with a third film in his successful Hostel franchise? Well, from the man himself comes the word that he’s not involved with it in any way.

Hostel 3 Will Go On Without Eli Roth, but who’s listening?

It’s been announced that the Hostel 3 project is moving forward under Lionsgate’s watch, regardless of how many times Eli Roth has said he’s all tortured out.

Hostel I and II made their mark on our now damaged psyche and Lionsgate looks like it’s trying to ride the momentum from the first two films and head right on into a third film, but Eli Roth will not be, as far as anyone can tell, be part of this third chapter of horror. Well, “momentum” might be too strong a word since the second film brought in a whopping $35 million.
