Let’s not forget, we’ll probably see him dipping his toes back into horror even sooner with the television adaptation of the werewolf novel “ Hemlock Grove,” which is like “ The Howling” meets “ Twin Peaks,” that’ll see Roth producing and directing the pilot for the series that is set to debut on Netflix next year. After that, we’ll have to wait for the Dimension acquired ”Aftershock,” and probably ‘Inferno’ sometime after that. The last person anywhere near there was Werner Herzog for ‘Aguirre, the Wrath of God.’” Roth talks more about how the production will lend the villagers school supplies, medical supplies, and a boat for their work on the film, perhaps setting him up as some modern day saint of the horror variety.īefore Roth kicks off production on “The Green Inferno” come November 5th, we’ll get a taste of what he’s been up to lately with his latest producing and co-writing endeavour in RZA’s “ Man with the Iron Fists” on November 2nd. It’s so far up the Amazon, no one has ever shot there.
Roth also talked about shooting the picture in Peru with Movieline, where he’ll be journeying up the Amazon River to a remote village that has “no electricity, no running water, nothing.” Always one for a good tease, Roth said that the production lured 200 native villagers out of the woods to play extras by screening “Cannibal Holocaust.” Roth remarks, “They thought it was a comedy!” Roth talks excitedly about moving into this unknown territory, stating that, “The location that we found is truly spectacular. Exclusive Media will handle international sales for the picture.
Yeah, they’re pretty busy, and that’s a whole slate of films we’re dying to see, and we can now add ‘Inferno’ to the pile. Worldview is sort of becoming a rival of Megan Ellison’s Annapurna Pictures in terms of ambitious pictures, teaming up with Roth to finance and produce Ti West’s latest “ The Sacrament,” along with Atom Egoyan’s West Memphis Three picture “ Devil’s Knot,” director Eran McGreevy’s “ Welcome to the Punch” with James McAvoy, David Gordon Green’s latest in “ Joe” with Nicolas Cage and Tye Sheridan, and finally James Gray’s “ The Nightingale” with Jeremy Renner, Joaquin Phoenix, and Marion Cotillard.
Co-written with “Aftershock” scribe Guillermo Amoedo, the young talent will include Daryl Sabara (“ John Carter,” “ Spy Kids”), Kirby Bliss Blanton (“ Project X“), Magda Apanowicz and actress/singer Sky Ferreria with “Aftershock” thesps Lorenza Izzo and Ariel Levy also currently in negotiations to star in Roth’s thriller, which will see him producing alongside Worldview Entertainment. With filming getting underway soon, he’s lining up the cast for his Peru-based horror film “ The Green Inferno,” which will follow a group of individuals who’ve crashlanded in the Amazonian jungle, and with a title paying heavy homage to the infamous “ Cannibal Holocaust” – it looks like Roth will be heading into the jungle to terrorize these individuals with some flesh eaters.
