The last time we reported on what Eli Roth’s next projects would be, he revealed that they are a full-length version of his fake Thanksgiving trailer from Grindhouse and a mysterious, untitled big-budget sci-fi movie. He stated that Thanksgiving would be a fairly low-budgeted movie ($15 million at most) and that it would be, “the sickest, bloodiest, most violent slasher movie.” What was more interesting though, is that he said he wanted to shoot it in three weeks at the end of a big-budget shoot for a sci-fi movie that he was so secretive about that he couldn’t/wouldn’t even give us the name of it.

Hmmm, intriguing…

The name Eli Roth has become synonymous with bloody and disgusting modern horror flicks – he burst onto the scene back in 2002 with the at-best mediocre Cabin Fever, and then unfortunately subjected us to not one but two Hostel films, those which I consider to be wastes of the film they were printed on.

However, as much as I dislike Roth as a filmmaker (he’s not quite at the level of Rob Zombie for me, but almost…), I will admit to loving his hilarious fake trailer called Thanksgiving that was part of the Grindhouse experience. On pure entertainment value alone, his was probably the best of the bunch.

Well, it appears that Roth liked it so much that he’s going to turn it into a low-budget full-length feature film, which he will film back-to-back with an at-present secret sci-fi blockbuster. He said this a while ago, but we haven’t heard anything new about it in quite a bit.
