Eli Roth Is Going ‘Beyond the Green Inferno’

Published

on

Eli Roth and Worldview Entertainment are already plotting a sequel to cannibal horror-thriller The Green Inferno. Roth won’t be in the director’s chair this time, however, and instead has tapped Aftershock‘s Nicolas Lopez for the job of Beyond the Green Inferno, THR writes.

News of the follow-up came just as Roth’s Green Inferno made its worldwide premiere Sept. 7 in the Midnight Madness section of the Toronto Film Festival. The high-profile pic, set deep in the heart of the Amazon, follows a group of student activists who travel to visit a dying tribe. When their plane crashes, they are taken hostage by the very natives they came to observe.

Christopher Woodrow’s Worldview Entertainment teamed with Roth to finance and produce The Green Inferno and will also produce and finance Beyond the Green Inferno. Roth will present and produce the sequel, which is based on a script he wrote with Lopez and Guillermo Amoedo. Lopez — who worked on the script for Green Inferno — and Miguel Asensio Llamas of Sobras International Pictures are also producing.

After writing and scouting all over Peru we realized that that ‘The Green Inferno’ had an expansive universe and that we would love to visit it again and go deeper into the jungle. Our plan with Beyond the Green Inferno is to make a sequel in the tradition of ‘Aliens’, where the creative team went bigger, darker and scarier into the unknown. Eli has been an amazing creative collaborator and has set the groundwork for an entire universe of stories we’re both incredibly excited to tell,” said Lopez.

Lopez and Roth also collaborated on Aftershock, with Lopez directing from a script he co-wrote with Roth.

Roth agreed with Lopez that filming Green Inferno was a life-changing experience.

We quickly learned there’s an entire world of stories, legends, myths and monsters in that jungle. It’s endless. Living in isolation we saw first hand just how far and deep we could take the world of ‘The Green Inferno’. I’m thrilled to hand the directing reins to Nicolas Lopez, who has been a key part of my creative team from the beginning of this project and I know will make an incredible film,” Roth told the site.

We don’t want to give away any plot secrets, only that we want to take the story to an even darker and scarier place on all levels. Shooting begins when the rainy season ends and it’s safe enough for us to return with another ‘adventurous’ filmmaking team. We’re thrilled to produce the film with Worldview Entertainment, who has been an incredible, supportive partner right from the start,” the filmmaker continued.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

on

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights. SCREAMBOX is investigating with the addition of several docs, all streaming now on the Bloody Disgusting-powered service. Here’s the breakdown:
