Eli Roth Updates ‘Thanksgiving’ and more
Arriving in theaters August 21 from Universal Pictures and the Weinstein Company is Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. One of the main stars of the film is horror maestro Eli Roth, who plays a Nazi killer by the name of “Bear Jew.” This afternoon B-D’s own BD caught up with the director of Cabin fever and Hostel who updated us on a few of his forthcoming projects, including his feature-film version of Thanksgiving, the faux trailer in QT and Rodriguez’s Grindhouse. Out promoting his role in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds (which is QT’s best film in over a decade), Eli Roth dropped a few bits concerning Thanksgiving, which has been talked about quite a bit lately.
“My co-writer Jeff [Rendell] just landed yesterday in Los Angeles. He flew out for the premiere and so we can finish the script, Eli tells us adding that it won’t be coming anytime in the near future. “I don’t want to do it as my next film but I want to get the script finished. The sci-fi film, Endangered Species, is what I’m doing next.”
He also stresses that he has no direct involvement with Hostel 3. “No, I’m done. Somebody will, that was part of the deal – that they were allowed to continue doing them without me. And that’s what the fans want, clearly there’s a demand for it. But I have left it to go on to other things.”
In the meantime, Eli fans can check out Inglourious Basterds on August 21st – it might not be a horror film, but it’s a damn good one.
The Fall franchise heads to a new location with new characters in the upcoming Fall 2: Deadpoint, and a brand new official poster has been unleashed this morning.
Additionally, a new Fall 2 trailer is promised for tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Releasing in theaters on September 2, 2026, horror sequel Fall 2: Deadpoint is rated PG-13 for “strong language, some violent content/bloody images and drug material.”
Harriet Slater (Tarot) stars in the upcoming Fall 2: Deadpoint alongside Arsema Thomas (“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”) and Tom Brittney (Greyhound).
Michael & Peter Spierig (Predestination, Jigsaw) direct Fall 2: Deadpoint from a script by Fall writers Scott Mann (who also directed the original) and Jonathan Frank.
From the survival hit that tapped into the fear of heights and left friends stranded at the top of a tower comes a climb that goes higher, gets deadlier, and hits with next-level adrenaline.
In Fall 2: Deadpoint, two friends take on new heights in Thailand, where unpredictable terrain, extreme exposure, and nowhere to hide push survival further than ever before.
Overwhelmed by her sister Hunter’s death, Jax (Slater) connects with Luce (Thomas), Hunter’s fearless friend. To heal, they attempt the infamous plank walk of Mount Kwan in Thailand.
After a sudden rockslide leaves them stranded on a fragile plank 3000 feet in the air, Jax must confront her deepest fears and fight for survival to find closure.
Fall 3 has already been greenlit, with Mann returning to the director’s chair. The first Fall was a surprise hit in theaters, scaring up $18 million at the worldwide box office back in 2022.
