Eli Roth Career

Film career

Roth wrote and directed Restaurant Dogs, an homage to Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs at NYU's film school. In 1995, the film was nominated for a Student Academy Award, winning its division (Division III).

Roth met David Lynch and stayed in touch over the years, eventually producing content for Lynch with his fledgling website in the late 1990s. Angelo Badalamenti, whose music he used in his first feature film, was introduced to Roth by Lynch. In addition, he met a representative of KNB EFX, which produced his first film.

Roth's Chowdaheads, a series of animated shorts for Mandalay Sports Entertainment, moved to Los Angeles in 1999. They were supposed to be shown during WCW's Monday Nitro pro wrestling matches, but they were not finished, but never broadcast. Noah Belson, Roth's associate, co-wrote the shorts and provided the other character voices.

Roth wrote, produced, and produced a series of stop-motion shorts called The Rotten Fruit in mid-2000, with funds from the website Z.com to produce a five-minute pilot. After many episodes, the company was shuttered, and Nissan bought the company's name for its "Z" sports car. A portion of Roth's work for The Rotten Fruit was created at the Snake Pit studios in Burbank, including miniature sets, posable clay, foam figures, two high-end digital still cameras, and two Macintosh computers. Noah Belson co-wrote and performed character voices.

With his college roommate Randy Pearlstein, Roth co-authored Cabin Fever. They were based on Roth's account of getting a skin infection while riding ponies at a family friend's farm in Iceland in 1991. Although Roth served as a production assistant for Howard Stern's film Private Parts, a substantial portion of it was written in 1996.

Cabin Fever was launched in 2001 on a $1.5 million budget from private investors. At the 2002 Toronto International Film Festival, Lionsgate's film was the best-seller of the year's festival, according to the film's director. It was Lionsgate's highest-grossing film of the year when it was released in 2003, grossing $22 million at the US box office and $35 million worldwide. After the film was released, Lionsgate's shares increased from $1.98 a share to nearly $6 per share; the company repurchased the film to purchase Artisan Entertainment. Cabin Fever made Roth a star of the horror film. Quentin Tarantino called it "the best new American film" in a 2004 Premiere Magazine interview.

Hostel, Roth's second feature, was released in 2005 for just over $4 million. It opened No. In January 2006, there was no one at the box office at the time, taking in $20 million for the first weekend. The film earned more than $80 million in box office worldwide, as well as more than $180 million on DVD. Although the story is set in Slovakia, the exteriors were shot in the Czech Republic.

Three friends are lured to a hostel where their sexual fantasies will come true, according to the film. Rather, they fell into the clutches of an international organisation that offers first-hand torture and killing experiences for wealthy, sadistic tourists. The film was rated No. 1 on the charts. 1 on Bravo TV's 30 Even scarier movie scenes, and Empire Magazine readers voted Hostel the Best Horror Film of 2007.

According to reports, Roth left studio teaching jobs to make Hostel. He took a $10,000 salary to keep the budget as low as possible, so there will be no limits set on violence. In January 2006, film critic David Edelstein of New York magazine credited Roth with the horror subgenre "torture porn" or "gorno" in addition to excitation audiences as a sexual activity.

Roth produced and narrated the faux trailer segment for Grindhouse on Thanksgiving in 2007 and appeared in Tarantino's segment. Jeff Rendell, a writer and co-writer for their work in Grindhouse, received the Spike TV Scream Award in 2007, sharing the award with Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Rob Zombie, and Edgar Wright.

Hostel: Part II opened in June 2007, with $8.2 million; it went on to gross $17.6 million in US theaters. The film, which cost $10.2 million, grossed $35 million in theaters around the world, as well as $50 million on DVD and pay television.

The lower revenues were attributed to Lionsgate's summer debut, as opposed to blockbusters such as Shrek the Third, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's Conclusion, and Ocean's Thirteen. The day Hostel 2 opened, close to two million illicit workprint downloads were tracked.

Part II of the Spike TV Scream Awards, including best horror film and best director. It was on Entertainment Weekly's list of the top horror movies of the last 20 years.

Roth, who appeared in Inglourious Basterds, said he would soon begin his next film, Endangered Species.

Roth said in a 2013 interview with The Guardian, he had stopped working on Endangered Species to concentrate on 2013's The Green Inferno.

Roth produced The Green Inferno (2013), a cannibal horror film based on Mondo horror films, including the famous Cannibal Holocaust. People's World chastised the Green Inferno for its depiction of indigenous people as cannibals, and it was described as a "new low in racist film making" by People's World.

The film Death Wish, Roth's 2018 remake of the film Death Wish, grossed $13 million at the box office. The film revolves around a trauma surgeon who shifts to vigilantism after his family is attacked. In the aftermath of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, critics condemned the film as "pro-gun propaganda" and ill-timed. Roth defended the film, saying that the film was not pro-gun and that he wanted the film to be about family, protecting one's family, and seeking revenge for one's relatives.

Both Harry Knowles and Steven Spielberg loved a shot-for-shot recreation of the Lost Ark made by children in 2002. He had a copy in his video collection for years and exhibited it at the Butt-Numb-A-Thon film festival in December. The reaction was so good that Roth took the tape to his first DreamWorks meeting to give to Spielberg. Spielberg adored it and wanted to contact the filmmakers, according to an executive who called it next week. Roth had never heard them before, but Google-searched every name in the credits until he discovered Jayson Lamb, the cinematographer, before he discovered them. When Roth contacted them, the three filmmakers, Lamb, Chris Strompolis, and Eric Zala (a former Activision employee), hadn't talked to each other in years. Roth, who felt that his film was so strong he had to do whatever he could to ensure viewers saw it, performed it at its premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in May 2008, five and a half years after he first gave the tape to Knowles. The three reunited friends were soon touring the world, doing charity screenings.

Dimension Films acquired the rights to Cell by Stephen King in March 2006 and will produce a film directed by Roth. King completed the script in 2009, and actors John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson joined the project; however, Roth did not direct.

Arcade, along with Eric Newman and Strike producer Marc Abraham, created the horror film The Last Exorcism, which was produced by Daniel Stamm. The Last Exorcism was completed in December 2009 and renamed in February 2010. It opened with more than $20 million in U.S. revenues and received the No. 1 spot in the Top 100. Top opening locations in Canada and the United Kingdom. When rights in a handful of foreign territories were available before shooting began, the film had paid for itself. Its revenues increased by more than $40 million in the United States and $70 million globally.

Roth has discussed doing Trailer Trash, another collection of fake trailers. "Trailer Trash is not a horror film," he said; "it's a comedian." It'll be very R-rated and completely insane, and I'm making it with Mike Fleiss."

He has written, directed, and scored RZA, who also appears in the film, as well as the 2012 kung fu film The Man with the Iron Fists. Tarantino is also involved, according to Roth.

In an interview with CHUD, Roth said:

Roth produced the American supernatural horror film Clown in 2014 and appeared in "Frowny the Clown" in a minor role. Knock Knock Knock (2015), a sequel to the 1977 horror-thriller Death Game, about two young women who seduce a married man and then do unspeakable things to him, is the next installment. Keanu Reeves appeared in and executive produced the film.

Roth was announced as the producer of the Meg adaptation of the best-selling shark book Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror in 2015. In 2016, it was announced that he had to leave the project due to creative differences.

Roth would produce an adaptation of the Borderlands games in 2020, with Craig Mazin directing the screenplay with Roth.

Roth made an audio commentary for Troma's 1997 DVD release of Blood Sucking Freaks four years before directing his first film, which was billed as a "Blood and Guts Specialist." The DVD is one of Troma's best-selling products.

Roth is a regular contributor to DVD "extras" content for horror film distributors Grindhouse Releasing/Box Office Spectaculars, particularly for two of his favorite films Juan Piquer Simón's Pieces and Lucio Fulci's Cat in the Brain, as well as the North American DVD release of Lucio Fulci's Cat in the Brain.

Roth began his acting career in 1998 and has been known to appear in the films he produces. In the 2009 Quentin Tarantino film Inglourious Basterds, Roth's most notable appearance to date is his role as a violent Bostonian soldier Donny "The Bear Jew" Donowitz.

Roth's role in Quentin Tarantino's segment of the 2007 film Grindhouse, Death Proof, was about because Tarantino was impressed by Roth's brief appearance as Justin in Cabin Fever. Roth, who left Hostel: Part II in Prague and then travelled to Austin, Texas, to film the scene for the Texas Chili Parlor, said acting as an actor for Tarantino is "like taking a master class in directing." He joked that the only ones he would ever work for are people who have received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

Roth has appeared in various films and his own, as well as in Alexandre Aja's 2010 film Rock of Ages, among others. Roth has also worked on numerous projects for David Lynch's website davidlynch.com.

"How Evil Are You?" Roth hosted and executive produced an episode of Discovery Channel's television series Curiosity titled "How Evil Are You?" Dr. James Fallon, a neuropsychiatrist, explored the scientific aspects of evil at University of California, Davis, with Roth undergoing a brain scan and DNA sequencing. Roth also revived the infamous Milgram experiments for the film, with findings that were similar to those from 50 years ago.

Hemlock Grove, a horror/thriller series that premiered on Netflix on April 19, 2013, was directed by Roth.

On Discovery Channel's Shark Week, he also hosts Shark After Dark.

Roth supervised, supervised, and participated in a PSA for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in 2009 exploring the relationship between cruelty against animals and violence against individuals. Roth was named "Community Service Category: Bronze" by a Telly Award for his work (Public Service Category: Bronze).

He was chosen, alongside filmmaker John Landis and Roger Corman, to represent three generations of film directors who have influenced the genre. The installation opened in September 2011 and continued to 2014 until 2014.

Eli Roth's Goretorium, a haunted house opened in Las Vegas in September 2012. In July 2013, Haunted Desert LLC, which owns Goretorium, applied for bankruptcy insurance, but the attraction was closed in October.

In their July 2006 issue, Men's Fitness magazine voted Roth "Most Fit Director," a position Roth takes seriously. He adheres to a strict workout regimen, which he reveals on the Hostel DVDs. Roth claims that he treats every red carpet like a Milan runway, and he often jokes that making films is only a way to live out his lifelong dream of being a male supermodel. In an interview with Italian Vogue magazine in October 2007, he talked about his passion for fashion.

Roth was featured on the G4 television show Icons and was on the front page of Forbes magazine's "Hollywood's Most Profitable Stars" issue.

Hundreds of Jewish creatives and Hollywood professionals including Debra Messing and Eli Roth denounce British director Jonathan Glazer's Oscar speech in open letter

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 19, 2024

Variety unveiled portions of the letter on Monday. Debra Messing, Eli Roth, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Julianna Margulies had it signed. After winning the Best International Feature for his film Zone of Interest, British-born Glazer took to the podium and said that his film showed "where dehumanization leads at its worst." All of our past and present have been influenced by it.' 'We now stand here as men who defame their Jewishness and the Holocaust's destruction by an occupation that has resulted in violence against so many innocent civilians,' he continued. 'Whether the victims of October - whether the victims of October the 7th in Israel or the ongoing attack on Gaza, all the victims of this dehumanization, how do we resist?'

A terrifying killer stalks the town of Plymouth in the chilling new trailer for Thanksgiving amid mixed fan reactions: 'Never thought I'd have to fear corn cob holders!'

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 5, 2023
The Thanksgiving holiday just got a whole lot more frightening, but not because of meddlesome in-laws. The official Red Band trailer for the holiday-themed horror film, starring Patrick Dempsey and Addison Rae, focuses on a pilgrim-esque killer stalking Plymouth, Massachusetts, on Thanksgiving day. Fans of the original faux trailer for the film starring Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez' classic film Grindhouse are already comparing the two trailers (both directed by Eli Roth).

Addison Rae's co-star in Eli Roth's serial killer film at Thanksgiving looks trembling

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 7, 2023
Addison Rae has devolved into horror films, co-starring Patrick Dempsey in the forthcoming serial killer film Thanksgiving. On Thursday, a chilling new teaser appeared in the film, revealing a serial killer on the rampage, claiming the victim after the perpetrator. Thanksgiving was one of the fake trailers included in Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez' Grindhouse double-feature in 2007. Now, Eli Roth - who was starred as 'The Bear Jew' in Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds - has decided to make Thanksgiving a full-fledged movie. Addison can be briefly glimpsed tied up and screaming in terror through a gag that has gone slack in her mouth this week.
