When Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez released their epic exploitation double-feature Grindhouse, they also asked some of their filmmaker friends to make fake trailers for grindhouse films they’d like to see. Preceding the double-bill was a fake trailer by Rodriguez himself for something called Machete. Sandwiched between Rodriguez’s Planet Terror and Tarantino’s Death Proof were fake trailers for Edgar Wright’s Don’t, Rob Zombie’s Werewolf Women of the S.S. and, the most brutal by far, Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving.

With a real full-length version of Machete amping up toward release, Eli Roth has been getting a lot of questions about his own rumored Grindhouse-trailer-turned-feature-film. Roth has talked about the possibility of a full-length Thanksgiving for some time now, almost since the trailer was first leaked online, but he finally confirmed, in an interview with Cinema Blend’s Eric Eisenberg yesterday, that the project is in the works. Roth speaks after the jump!

Said Roth:

“I’ve been working on the script with my co-writer, Jeff Rendell, who plays the pilgrim in the trailer. And it’s me imitating Jeff’s voice [for the narration]. But Jeff has been working. I said that his deal is he has to work on the script while I’m promoting The Last Exorcism, and as soon as I’m done in mid-September he’s going to fly to California, we’re going to sit down, and bang out the script.”

What do you think? Would you be excited to see a feature-length Thanksgiving, or was the joke fully-realized in the two minute trailer? Considering that Grindhouse was a box office failure and Machete is still unproven, is this a project that really stands the chance of moving forward?
