From an interview in Gorezone (August 07, Issue #22):
How crazy was the [Thanksgiving] shoot? Did you try to make it as fucked up as you could?
We just went nuts. It was crazy. Literally, like, right at the end of the Hostel II, I hacked on two shooting days and we all just stuck aroun and did it for fun. And staging that parade was insane and we had a great time. In fact, like, it's inspired me to do a whole movie of fake trailers, called Trailer Trash. 'Cause I have so many ideas for either, like, steak movies or just terrible films I'll never make but that I think would be amazing trailers. And filming it was so fun because you get the satisfaction as if you made a feature, you know what I mean. Because everybody just comes out remembering the best parts, anyway, so why not just make the best parts and fuck the viewer up, so they feel like you made a whole movie. Just give them all the money shots. It's like cheating. With Thanksgiving I got to just film all the best stuff. It was nuts.
I really don't know what to make of this. Like, I won't say it wouldn't be enjoyable, because I think it totally would. Just not in full-length feature form, you know? Like, it wouldn't do well. It's kind of a... silly idea. Maybe not a very good idea. I just... I really don't know what to say. I loved the Grindhouse fake trailers (which I had to see on Youtube because I was a douche and thought I was too good for Grindhouse until it was out of theaters and now I completely hate myself) but a whole movie of them?
Your thoughts?
Also, the rest of the interview goes on to say that he's considering doing a Grindhouse 2 with Edgar Wright. That is a good idea. Pick up the magazine if you get the chance. It's a pretty good interview. The magazine also has articles about the new Halloween and Cabin Fever 2. Eli's on the cover.
