Alamo Drafthouse Has the Early Ticket on Eli Roth’s ‘Thanksgiving’

Published

Want some news to cure the forthcoming Halloween blues? (You know they’re coming.) Well, Alamo Drafthouse has the early ticket on Eli Roth’s highly anticipated new slasher Thanksgiving, which hits theaters on November 17th.

As part of their Fantastic Fest Presents series, they’re showing the film on Wednesday, November 15th — and tickets are available now. That’s not all. The early bird showing — pun most certainly intended — will feature a taped introduction with Roth, and guests will receive commemorative masks on a first come, first serve basis, and while supplies last.

The film, an expansion of Roth’s faux trailer seen in Grindhouse (2007), will be released in theaters worldwide by TriStar Pictures and Spyglass Media Group (Scream).

Watch the Red Band trailer for Thanksgiving below, which removes the Grindhouse-style filter of grime that was applied to the original faux trailer back in 2007. What we’re getting with the actual Thanksgiving movie is a slick, modern slasher set in the present day, but it seems clear based on this trailer that Eli Roth isn’t leaving any of that ’80s gore behind.

The cast for the feature length slasher movie includes Patrick Dempsey, Addison Rae, Jalen Thomas Brooks (“Walker”), Milo Manheim (Zombies), Nell Verlaque (“Big Shot”), Gina Gershon (“Chucky”), Tim Dillon and Rick Hoffman (Hostel).

Roth wrote the script with Jeff Rendell. Roger Birnbaum and Eli Roth are producing.

Fantastic Fest Presents is an extension of the festival that lets Alamo Drafthouse celebrate genre films 365 days a year, theatrically support alumni films, gives their stamp of approval for films that release outside of the festival window, and stay engaged with thousands of fans year-round to celebrate the films we love.
