'Thanksgiving' Confirmed?

Eli Roth recently had an exclusive over the phone interview with Cinematical. He claimed that while Thanksgiving isn't his next movie, it will be made. He had this to say, "That movie, the financing, the money is in a bank account, I mean, I could literally say I'm starting production tomorrow we'd start. It's 100 percent up to me, but I'm just working on the script with Jeff Rendell, the co-writer. Jeff's the one who in the trailer, he plays the Pilgrim, and we're just writing it. We're just figuring it out and we're just coming up with the kills and the characters."

Anyone who watched Grindhouse or the trailer knows that it all started as a fake movie trailer during Grindhouse. The trailer created a lot of buzz and became popular, which in return inspired director Eli Roth to take it from a fake trailer to a full movie. For now Roth is working on Endangered Species, a sci-fi movie that will carry a PG-13 rating in the likes of Cloverfield. He went into more details saying, "I want to be finished with Endangered, and then Jeff is supposed to come out to Los Angeles probably some time in August and we'll probably bang out the script, I'd like to shoot the movies back to back; that's the dream – in a perfect world I would shoot those two movies back to back, the way I shot Hostel II and the Grindhouse trailer."

Filming Thanksgiving after filming Endangered Species would be more of a reward for Roth as he described it saying, "Shoot Endangered Species, which is a very complicated and detail-oriented film where everything has to be very, very specific, and each scene is a ballbuster, and then it's like Thanksgiving is like the reward – like, we made it through, we got it done, we're all warmed up and loose and let's just bang out the most disgusting movie we can and not be precious with it. Just shoot and shoot and have a good time with it, but make it a real movie."

Thanksgiving was confirmed to get the full movie treatment by Mr. Roth himself, so I expect to hear more about it in the near future as well as his next movie Endangered Species.
