Patrick Dempsey Looking To Star in Eli Roth's Horror Film THANKSGIVING
Eli Roth is in the process of casting his upcoming Thanksgiving horror movie and Patrick Dempsey is in talks to take on the lead role. This would be a very different and interesting movie for Dempsey to star in, and I hope he takes it. It’s one of those kinds of films that could shake up his career in a fun way.
The movie is based on the trailer that is part of the 2007 Grindhouse double feature that Roth made with Quentin Tarantino. This is sure to be a crazy gory film about a slasher who “makes his own carving board out of the inhabitants of a Massachusetts town that makes a big annual fuss over the annual turkey day.”
The rest of the ensemble cast will include a bunch of rising stars. According to Deadline, “Roth wanted a face front and center and thought Dempsey would be perfect given its not the typical role you usually see the former Greys Anatomy star in.”
Spyglass Media is producing the movie and the script was written by Jeff Rendel. Roth will begin shooting the movie in March.
