Lions Gate & Screen Gems Team Up to Release "Hostel"
The Hollywood Reporter brings news on when you might be able to see Eli ("Cabin Fever") Roth's sophomore effort, and it'll be through Lions Gate (theatrically) and Sony's Screen Gems (on video).
"Lions Gate Films will handle North American theatrical and television distribution for Screen Gems' R-rated "Hostel," the extreme gore-fest from writer-director Eli Roth. In a shared-pot deal, Screen Gems will keep domestic home video and international theatrical distribution rights to the film, which is set for release Dec. 21. The companies will share all revenue on the picture. Quentin Tarantino, Scott Spiegel and Boaz Yakin are executive producers on the project, which centers on an American backpacker (Jay Hernandez) who stumbles upon a mob-run torture ring involving human trafficking and sex tourism."
That 12/21 release is the international one; Lions Gate will release "Hostel" stateside on January 6th.

on Oct 26 2005 06:32 PM [b]Be preparred...[/b] This is one gory flick. I pesonally had a blast watching it. It probably helped that Eli Roth was in the audience when I watched it but who knows. Anyway, the film has been discussed already in the general form if you want to take a look. Mad (Reply to this) |
on Oct 27 2005 08:24 AM After Cabin Fever, I am of the opinion that Eli Roth is a hack who has no understanding of film or horror. The fact that he thinks he is the saviour of horror is offensive. Also, his unbelievable ass-kissing on the Gozu DVD (where they had him, of all people, interview director Takashi Miike) made me hate him as a person, not just a "filmmaker". I'm always willing to be proven wrong, so I guess we'll see. (Reply to this) |
