Eli Roth Not Directing Stephen King’s “Cell” ‘Anytime Soon’
In a blog entry from this morning, Eli Roth admits that production on Cell won’t begin for some time. He places that tidbit within a context that basically says two things: 1) Piracy is playing a major role in stealing box-office revenue. 2) Go See Hostel Part II. From the blog:
“this is your last chance to see one of my films for a while. If you haven’t seen it, go now, because after next weekend the film will be gone from theaters. There are too many other summer movies coming in, so basically we get two weeks in cinemas, and then the film will live on DVD. I am not directing CELL any time soon, and I most likely will take the rest of the year to write my other projects. Which means I wouldn’t shoot until the spring, and you wouldn’t see a film directed by me in the cinemas until at least next fall. If everyone on my friends list went to see the film this weekend and brought a friend, it would make a huge difference. Bring a non-horror fan - try to convert them.”
