Eli Roth’s ‘Thanksgiving’ full length movie is really happening

When the Tarantino/Rodriguez double feature ‘Grindhouse’ came out in 2007, it came with it a number of fake grindhouse-like movie trailers between the two films. There’s already been a Hobo With a Shotgun movie borne from these fake trailers, and now it looks like ‘Thanksgiving’ will be happening as well.

[Thanksgiving] is gonna happen. I’m working with the Clown writers on it. We have a call scheduled tomorrow afternoon. Jeff Rendell, my co-writer on it, we have a very extensive treatment. We finally cracked the story and figured out how to really make it scary, and the reason to do it. I’m really excited about it. The Clown writers wrote one of the best scripts I’ve ever read, and before Jon Watts starts shooting Clown he’s got a window, and Chris Ford, his movie Robot & Frank just opened, Chris and John are going to write the screenplay with me and my writing partner Jeff. So we’ll have a draft soon.

God damn, I can’t wait. Thanksgiving was easily my favorite fake Grindhouse trailer, and I can’t wait for 90 minutes of head chopping, cheerleader stabbing and turkey revenge. WHITE MEAT DARK MEAT ALL WILL BE CARVED
