Eli Roth, the gentle director and creator of such sensitive hand holding and hallmark card films like The Hostel 1 and 2, is finally letting it all hang out Sci-Fi style with his upcoming massive destruction, apocalyptic movie produced in the Cloverfield theme.

MTV recently had a word with the director.

“I was actually almost done with it before ‘Basterds,’ but I had to put it down, and that was actually a good thing I took time away from it, but I’m going to finish that up and start shooting this fall.”

“I wanted to do something along the lines of Transformers or Cloverfield that was a little more science fiction-based, and with lots of chaos and mass destruction.”

“I don’t want to say what yet. Once it gets set up, I will let everyone know. It is not aliens or robots or a virus – it’s a little more grounded. But when people hear it they are going to be like ‘That is going to be insane!”

Nice to see Mr. Roth exit his fluffy bunny period and get down to real business. Thanks QuietEarth.
