Director Eli Roth (Hostel), hot off his acting performance in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, is working on the scripts for his next two genre films, a sci-fi movie called Endangered Species and a horror movie called Thanksgiving, according to Variety. Roth is keeping plot details under wraps for now, but says he plans to shoot the films back to back. Thanksgiving is an expansion of a fake trailer Roth made for Tarantino’s film Grindhouse. Roth is hoping to premiere his next film, the Louisiana-set exorcism film Cotton, at next year’s Sundance Film Festival.

Thanksgiving – legit.
I’m so excited for Thanksgiving!! I loved the fake trailer on Grindhouse and it is awesome they are following through with this and Machete!
Glad to hear this is really happening. The Thanksgiving trailer was the best part of Grindhouse. Some nice, nasty, wince-inducing moments in it. I hope the real film has the same 70′s grainy grindhouse style to it.
Next…”Werewolf Women of the SS!”
I’d love to see a movie of DON’T while we’re at it! So excited! And of course…Thanksgiving.
Omg I can’t believe he’s actually making a Thanksgiving movie! That was one of my favorite parts of Grindhouse.
Id he going to keep the same perversely goofy tone or is he going to make a serious slasher film? Personally, I’d hope for the former. Also, can he maintain the humor or would this be a two minute joke stretched over a painful 1.5-2 hours?
