With Thanksgiving in our rear-view mirror, Eli Roth is preparing another feast to give fans a second helping of John Carver.
In speaking with the crew at IndieWire, Eli Roth talked about Thanksgiving and its upcoming sequel Thanksgiving 2.
“We’re upping the ante but we are not going to do it with more money,” he said. “That keeps it tight and lean and mean and forces us to make decisions. There’s a lot of setting up that we did in the first one that we don’t have to deal with now. It can just be all pay-off.”
Roth plans to begin shooting at the end of March. “I’ve come up with stuff that is going to be achallenge. And I want it to be a challenge to pull off. Because if I’ve come up with the stuff that I think will make the best kills, then I’m going to do it like I’m never going to make another movie again.”
“It really was a reminder of the deep satisfaction I get just knowing there is a Thanksgiving movie out there and that people enjoy it and that people are now watching the old slasher films because of it,” Roth said. “I feel like we have a new tradition. And that’s all you want to do is leave your mark — good or bad — on pop culture. Eventually, no one is going to remember. The only thing that will be left is the movies.”
