Eli Roth

Just last night, my friends and I were talking about Eli Roth and wondering what his next project was. Well here it is...

Roth is planning to make a big budget horror film on the caliber of Transformers or Cloverfield.

"I don’t want to say what [the monster is] yet. Once it gets set up, I will let everyone know. It is not aliens or robots or a virus - it’s a little more grounded. But when people hear it they are going to be like ‘That is going to be insane!’" Roth told MTV in a recent interview.

The script is almost done and Roth is wanting to do the movie for about $80 million. Now that's exciting and all, but even more exciting is what Roth said he wants to do after the big budget film is made.

“The plan is this: I want to do a huge budget movie, but tack on three weeks to the end of it and shoot ‘Thanksgiving.’ I want to do an $80 million dollar movie, and then schedule three weeks at the end to quickly shoot a $5 million dollar movie.”

That's right. Roth is planning to make a full length film out of his Grindhouse trailer for Thanksgiving. So fucking awesome. Get to it Eli, I cannot wait for this one.
