David O. Russell Wrote a Horror Film that Eli Roth Might Direct
Via: THR
I think David O. Russell is one of the most talented writer/directors working in Hollywood right now. His most recent movies, The Fighter and Silver Linings Playbook, were both great movies.
Russell recently participated in The Hollywood Reporter directors roundtable for his upcoming film, American Hustle. During the event he discussed some of the unproduced screenplays that he's written over the years. A couple of them included a time-travel and horror film that Hostel director Eli Roth might direct.
Here's the quote can from the roundtable,
"I wrote a couple of things that someone might make, Eli Roth may actually do one, I wrote a horror a few years ago."
I would have never thought that Russell and Roth would team up on something. I honestly don't think Roth is very talented at all. But I would love to see what Russell's take on the horror genre would be! Russell went on to explain,
"Well it'll be coupled with Eli Roth, that's exciting to me. Cause I had to write to support myself. So I wrote a horror for producer Colleen Camp a horror film that I thought was interesting. And Eli thinks it's interesting, I think he's going to make it more interesting. It's emotional, it's also... we'll see. It's also...I don't wanna say anything more, I'll let Eli talk about it."
It will be interesting to see if this project pans out. I hope it does, just so I can see what Russell could bring to the horror genre.
