Eli Roth is Officially Uwe Boll - Blu-ray Forum

After reading this, I just have nothing left for this guy, wow.................

One of the faces of horror, Eli Roth, has been pretty quiet lately as he's been off in Berlin filming his scenes for Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds. Now that he's back in the saddle again, the director of Cabin Fever and the Hostel films has finally reveals his plans for the forthcoming year. They include an untitled big-budgeted monster movie and "the sickest, bloodiest, most violent slasher movie," which is the feature-length version of his Thanksgiving faux trailer from Grindhouse. Read on for the skinny.

Eli Roth Thanksgiving“I’m almost done with my new script,” Roth told MTV. “I was actually almost done with it before ‘Basterds,’ but I had to put it down, and that was actually a good thing I took time away from it, but I’m going to finish that up and start shooting this fall.”

Roth continued to shroud the film in secrecy and the way he's talking makes me think this isn't Cotton he's referring to. “I don’t want to give away the title yet, because I have to make sure I own it 100%, but it’s going to be something that is really fun with lots of mass destruction,” he said. “I wanted to do something along the lines of ‘Transformers’ or ‘Cloverfield’ that was a little more science fiction-based, and with lots of chaos and mass destruction.”

“I don’t want to say what [the monster is] yet,” Roth teases to MTV. “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!’.”

The big news that was revealed in the interview is that Roth plans to use leftover money from the shoot to finally bring us a feature-length version of THANKSGIVING, the faux trailer used in the GRINDHOUSE film from 2007.

“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’,” he revealed. “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.”

Roth said that after he shoots his untitled sci-fi blockbuster, he’ll get back to his roots by filming “the sickest, bloodiest, most violent slasher movie,” he said of the “Thanksgiving” flick inspired by the holiday-themed horror classics of the ‘80s. “I want to make the highest body count slasher film I can.”

What's wrong with that? I thought the Thanksgiving trailer was great.

Hostel proved that! Let's hope the new film is a little better.

Uwe Boll no Eli Roth actually can make good movies unlike Uwe Boll

How so?

That's how he talks... it's really no reflection of how the movie might be.

I fail to see the similarity between Eli Roth and Uwe Boll.

Belloche · 04-16-2009, 12:17 AM

Eli Roth may never be confused with a great filmaker, but he has a passion for what he does and he makes the kind of movies he wants to see. I have to have respect for guys like that.

You gotta look really close.

opterasis · 04-16-2009, 12:24 AM

So wait, how is he like Uwe Boll? Because his movies actually turn a profit, or the fact that his movies IMO have been pretty good or at least entertaining. Neither of those are remotely close to Uwe Boll.
