For all you Eli Roth Nerds who loved Cabin Fever and Hostel, I have some bad news for you. Bloody-Disgusting.com is reporting that Hostel 2 will not be released on January 5th as originally intended.
This is music to my ears of course, because the longer the world goes without being subjected to Eli Roth's crappy films, the longer the world remains a somewhat livable place.
Yes, that's right, I think Eli Roth's work is terrible, as I wrote in my original review for Hostel here.
From Roth's mouth:
The January 5th date was never a reality. We sat down and looked at the production schedule, and I explained that in order to make that date we'd have to work 7 days a week non-stop and add extra people working around the clock.
In other words, "They're giving us serial money to do this, so we figured we'd better take this movie serial".
Lionsgate and Screen Gems love the new script and believe we really can make a better, scarier movie than the first one, and are working now to figure out what the right release date is.
"There is no script and I still need to look up 'scary' in the dictionary".
I will have the film ready late winter/early spring, so they can release it any time from that point on. We all want to make a great film, so that's our focus right now, not racing to make a deadline because it had been previously announced.
"I have no talent".
Good luck, Eli. We're all eagerly awaiting your next masterpiece. And by that I mean, "Please never make another film again".
