Exclusive: Eli Roth Talks Trailer Trash

He's about to make your mind bend and stomach churn for a second time, as Hostel II heaves onto screens next month, but Eli Roth is already tooling up his future projects. Speaking earlier today and inspired by his contributions to the now disassembled Grin****dhouse, the recipient of this year's Empire Award for Best Horror, updated us on his plan for a feature length film consisting entirely of promos. Tentatively titled Trailer Trash, the writer/director/actor (in characteristically garrulous form) had this to say:

"Well, I had the most fun in my life shooting the Thanksgiving trailer [for Grindhouse] and I want to make a movie like that – all fake trailers! I’ll get Edgar Wright to direct one, Robert Rodriguez will do one, Greg Nicotero will do a zombie one. I want it to be like a Monty Python movie – just totally absurd, over the top, ridiculous, sophomoric nonsense. And the great thing about it is that I can shoot a couple of segments, then go and make Cell, then come back and do a couple more and just bring all my friends in. It’s going to be pure, unadulterated fun!"

Stay tuned to Empire for the full Eli Roth video interview - coming very soon.
