Eli Roth has spoken about his proposed upcoming feature film based on the “Grindhouse” trailer, “Thanksgiving.” “I just want to go, go, go. Get as much footage, and as many kills as possible, and not be self-conscious,” said the director about working fast like his buddy Tarantino did on the too-rushed, “Inglourious Basterds.” “When you’re moving at that speed, you’re not thinking, you’re just feeling and you’re going on instinct. And that’s where the best stuff comes from.” Like any studio is going to green light that 2 second joke, seriously. Who is he kidding?
Roth also revealed his previously spoken of sci-fi project will be titled “Endangered Species” and will aim to “really do lots of mass destruction and really destroy lots of shit!” [Empire]
