Fifteen years later, Eli Roth is back to work…
A scene from the movie Grindhouse – Dimension Films
More than 15 years after the release of the famous doubleheader Grindhouse (2007), director Eli Roth intends to make a complete version of the fake film whose trailer accompanied the feature films Planet Terror of robert rodriguez et Death Proof de Quentin Tarantinoreports Deadline.
For the occasion, Roth had signed a particularly dark and violent preview of a slasher titled Thanksgivingin which a killer disguised as a pilgrim killed several teenagers and terrorized a small town in the state of Massachusetts during Thanksgiving festivities.
Over the past few years, Eli Roth has been particularly busy with video game adaptations. Borderlandswhich will notably feature Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Black et Edgar Ramirez.
With the production needing a few more weeks of filming, Roth handed over the production reins to his good friend Tim Miller (Deadpool) in order to be able to concentrate fully on the pre-production of Thanksgiving.
Remember that in 2011, the Canadian filmmaker Jason Eisener had tried it by transforming the fake trailer of the film Hobo with a Shotgun (which was also part of the experiment Grindhouse) into a full-length feature film, which featured the late Ruther Hauer.
