Eli Roth is returning to a trailer he made for the “Grindhouse” double feature and actually turning that into a full length film that starts shooting in March…

It’s been over 15 years since the Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez double-feature “Grindhouse” was released but a fan favorite trailer made specifically for that film is now becoming a movie of its own.

Eli Roth shot “Thanksgiving” as a spoof of 1980s slasher films set around holidays with the trailer featuring numerous gruesome kills — including Roth himself being decapitated while having sex in a car — and had veteran science-fiction actor Michael Biehn playing the sheriff of a small town tormented by a masked killer.

You can watch the trailer for “Thanksgiving” below:

Now Roth is actually transforming that two-plus minute trailer into a full-length movie with production expected to start in March.

When “Grindhouse” was first being released, Roth addressed his interest in making a holiday themed horror film after the success of movies such as “Silent Night, Deadly Night,” “April Fool’s Day,” “My Bloody Valentine” and numerous others.

“My friend Jeff, who plays the killer Pilgrim – we grew up in Massachusetts, we were huge slasher-movie fans and every November we were waiting for the Thanksgiving slasher movie,” Roth said. “We had the whole movie worked out: A kid who’s in love with a turkey, and then his father killed it, and then he killed his family and went away to a mental institution and came back and took revenge on the town.

“I called Jeff and said, ‘Dude, guess what, we don’t have to make the movie, we can just shoot the best parts.”

Now Roth is actually making that movie with his friend Jeff Rendell providing the script and Spyglass as the studio behind the project.

Roth preparing to shoot “Thanksgiving” ultimately took him away from two weeks worth of reshoots on his current project — an adaptation of the video game “Borderlands” — which will now be shot by his friend and “Deadpool” director Tim Miller.

There’s no word on when Roth might debut “Thanksgiving” although an educated guess might be November 2023 or November 2024 given the theme of the movie.
