In talking to filmmaker Eli Roth, one thing becomes immediately clear, he is equally passionate and knowledge about his chosen career path, which presumably accounts for his huge success in the film industry.

As the man behind Cabin Fever and Hostel (along with its sequel Hostel II), he proved that you can make films with a modest budget and no major stars that audiences will love. Now the producer of the documentary-style thriller The Last Exorcism, which he is bringing to the big screen with German filmmaker Daniel Stamm at the helm, he is focusing much more on psychological horror than gore, which is no less effective in its creepiness factor.

While promoting the film at the press day, Eli Roth talked to Collider about what drew him to this script, why he sees film as the perfect outlet to release your life’s fears and his desire to make a 3D feature. He also gave us updates on Man with the Iron First (which he expects to go into production in the Fall), The Other Woman (which he’s producing), Endangered Species (which he plans to direct) and a remake of Funhouse (which he plans to do in 3D). Check out what he had to say after the jump:

America’s horror hopeful Eli Roth is recharging from his “Inglorious Basterds” publicity trip, and is going back to the area most comfortable for him and his fans: behind the camera.  Roth is starting the push for director Daniel Stamm’s exorcism flick “Cotton” which Roth produced, as well as put the finishing touches on “Endangered Species” which is Roth’s first foray into science-fiction.  More of what the future holds for Mr. Roth after the jump.

ELI ROTH Gives THANKSGIVING for an ENDANGERED SPECIES

Eli Roth, who will soon be appearing in Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” as an inglourious basterd, has revealed to Empire his next two projects: first is “Thanksgiving” which was inspired by his ridiculously twisted trailer he did for “Grindhouse”.  He also reveals that he wants to do a $60 million sci-fi flick called “Endangered Species” and quote “where I can really do lots of mass destruction and really destroy lots of shit!”  Oh, Eli.  You’re irascible.

He also mentions that the way he wants to do “Thanksgiving” is the way he did “Nation’s Pride”, a film that’s within the film of “Inglourious Basterds”.  I haven’t been the biggest fan of Roth’s previous work but what he describes as his plan for “Thanksgiving” certainly sounds exciting:

“I just want to go, go, go. Get as much footage, and as many kills as possible, and not be self-conscious. Because when you’re moving at that speed, you’re not thinking, you’re just feeling and you’re going on instinct. And that’s where the best stuff comes from. There’s an energy to that Grindhouse trailer for Thanksgiving that, for me caught the spirit of the movie. And I was like, ‘What if I did this for three weeks?’ No pretensions. Just, ‘Fuck it. Let’s make a fifth movie, do it fast, bang it out and make it great.’ I mean, still take it seriously, as a real movie, but just do it in 18 says and see what the hell happens when I really push myself.”

But before he go, go, goes, you can see Roth beat the shit out of Nazis in “Inglourious Basterds” on August 21st.
