Eli Roth is currently putting the finishing touches on his torture opus sequel HOSTEL PART II (or as it’s more properly known ELI ROTH PRESENTS ELI ROTH’S HOSTEL PART II [A FILM BY ELI ROTH]) but he’s already looking to the future and his horror thriller CELL, Stephen King’s love letter to possessed zombie-like lunatics. Roth recently spoke to Sci Fi Wire about how he intends to approach the film and its particular brand of cell phone signal induced murderous psychopaths. He relates: “I love the opening [scene]…But I also want to keep,…not necessarily that same chaotic tone, but I want to keep the tension of the opening 40 pages of the book going throughout the whole film and introduce other elements. Because I think the book, for me, where it loses tension is where suddenly you don’t feel like the phone crazies are trying to kill them. I find that it’s finding other ways to make it so you still feel the tension that any second you could get killed [and] carrying that throughout the whole film.” Read the rest of what he had to say over HERE. HOSTEL PART II opens June 8th.
