Eli Roth Ready to Hammer Out ‘Thanksgiving’ Script
Gearing up for this weekend’s release of The Last Exorcism, producer Eli Roth has been making the press rounds talking about all things horror. In an interview with Cinemablend, he updates the status of Thanksgiving, his feature-length version of the faux slasher trailer included in the 2007 Grindhouse. “I’ve been working on the script with my co-writer, Jeff Rendell, who plays the pilgrim in the trailer,” Roth tells the site. “And it’s me imitating Jeff’s voice [for the narration]. But Jeff has been working. I said that his deal is he has to work on the script while I’m promoting The Last Exorcism, and as soon as I’m done in mid-September he’s going to fly to California, we’re going to sit down, and bang out the script.” It’s nice to know Roth is still taking this feature very seriously because I’d love to see a slew of new Grindhouse-esque releases. You?
Inspired by Nicholas Hogg’s 2015 novel Tokyo Nobody, the thriller A Sacrifice starring Sadie Sink (“Stranger Things”) is on the way from Vertical, and the official trailer has arrived.
From director Jordan Scott, the film releases on June 28, 2024.
“A Sacrifice is an emotionally turbulent story that follows American social psychologist Ben Monroe who is investigating a local Berlin cult connected to disturbing events.
“While he immerses himself in his work, his rebellious teenage daughter, Mazzy, becomes embroiled with a mysterious local boy who introduces her to the city’s underground party scene. As their two worlds head toward a dangerous intersection, Ben will need to race against the clock in order to save his daughter.”
Sadie Sink stars alongside Eric Bana and Sylvia Hoeks.
A Sacrifice is produced by Ridley Scott.
