Hostel Director Plans SF Blockbuster
According to MTV.com Hostel director and Zachary Quinto lookalike Eli Roth is planning a Transformers-style SF blockbuster. “I’m almost done with my new script,” he says. “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. It is not aliens or robots or a virus - it’s a little more grounded. But when people hear it they are going to be like ‘That is going to be insane!’”
