Eli Roth to Make ‘Grindhouse’ Trailer Into Movie

Horror filmmaker Eli Roth has a lot on his hands right now. Pelted with movie projects left and right, he admitted that he’s involved in a slew of projects including his non-horror directorial debut shot with the science fiction themed “Endangered Species.”

The director is still keeping mum on the details for “Species,” but claims he plans on shooting the film one after the other with the full-length version of “Thanksgiving,” an addition of the reproduction trailer he created for Quentin Tarantino’s and Robert Rodriguez’s 2007 B-movie tribute “Grindhouse.”

Roth also talked unremitting development of “The Man With the Iron Fist,” a kung fu-based screenplay with Wu-Tang Clan producer/rapper RZA, as well as his producer part on “Cotton,” the story of a Louisiana evangelical minister which casts in Patrick Fabian that enables a documentary crew to shoot his last exorcism. Directed by Daniel Stamm, Roth plans on unveiling “Cotton” at Sundance Film Festival in January.

The showbiz industry is pleased to see Roth budge his usual storyline with “Endangered Species” and the public is equally curious to see the three-minute gag trailer of “Thanksgiving.”

The “Grindhouse” trailer will be made into a feature-length movie. It will surely have the support to sustain itself as Roth takes a stab to make a movie based only on faux trailers.
