[UPDATE: Eli Roth has recently said he will not be directing the remake of The Funhouse, but as far as we know is still involved with developing it for Universal. For more on what Roth had to say you can head here].

21st century gore-horror director Eli Roth may have a couple of projects already lined up – a full-length version of his Thanksgiving trailer from Grindhouse and his first sci-fi film Endangered Species – but hasn’t stopped him from piling even more projects on his plate.

In an interview with Fangoria, Roth says he’s currently talking to Universal about remaking Tobe Hooper’s (Poltergeist, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) 1981 horror film, The Funhouse.
