"Thanksgiving was the most fun I've ever had shooting anything, and the response to it was the best response to anything I've ever done in my career." So with that Roth is taking the installed fan base of the faux trailer attached to Grindhouse and pitching as a feature length picture with a five million dollar budget. "I want to make the highest body count slasher film I can."
But Thanksgiving would only be a deal sweetener for whomever Roth can get to finance his $80 million dollar idea, a sci-fi epic. "I don't want to give away the title yet, because I have to make sure I own it 100%, but it's going to be something that is really fun with lots of mass destruction. I wanted to do something along the lines of Transformers or Cloverfield that was a little more science fiction-based, and with lots of chaos and mass destruction." "when people hear it they are going to be like 'That is going to be insane!'" Insane is right.
