[TIFF ’13 Review] ‘The Green Inferno’ Is Triumphant, Eli Roth’s Most Violent Movie To Date!
Last night Cabin Fever and Hostel director Eli Roth returned to the director’s chair with the World Premiere of The Green Inferno, about a group of student activists who travel to the Amazon to protect a dying tribe, but crash in the jungle and are taken hostage by the very natives they saved. Mike Pereira, a huge fan of Roth’s tells me in an E-mail exchange that he liked Green Inferno better than Hostel, and that it’s easily his best movie to date.
“The Green Inferno finds Eli Roth at the absolute top of his game. He is exactly where he belongs; on the director’s chair,” Mike stated in his review. “His craftsmanship and maturity has grown significantly. As extreme as the carnage gets, Roth maximizes the effect of an image at every turn. He knows when to precisely be visually graphic, as well as restrain if the opportunity calls for it.
“When it comes to the violence in The Green Inferno, it somehow manages to trump everything Roth has done to date,” he adds, speaking to the E-mail exchange I had with him.
Lastly, he states: “In The Green Inferno, Eli Roth and the cannibal sub-genre make a triumphant, long overdue return.”
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
