In a recent interview with CHUD, Eli Roth talked about his self-hyped pet project, Endangered Species. Speaking about the idea for this film, a mid-budget sci-fi disaster movie, the Hostel helmer had this to say:
“I can’t say anything without giving anything away!” he said. “I saw Transformers and Cloverfield and thought, ‘I have an idea for a mass destruction movie.’ But it’s going to be very different from those films. And it’s science fiction, but a little more grounded than that.”
Roth then went on to disclose just how far into the pre-production process he is with this feature: “I’ve been working on the script for the last year and a half, and meeting with the top visual effects people and doing various tests and research to find out how we’re going to make the movie in a cost-effective way,” he said before finishing up on a closed note. “But I can’t really say how we’re going to do it without giving away certain plot details.”
Along with slasher flick Thanksgiving and a remake of Tobe Hooper’s Funhouse, Endangered Species remains the most likely project to be plucked from Roth’s slate next and put into production.
SciFiNow will bring you more information on Endangered Species in the coming months.
