Eli Roth's Trailer Trash

Eli Roth, best known for Hostel & Cabin Fever, is set to make some what of a parody of old horror movie trailers in the appropriately titled Trailer Trash. Think of an entire movie of trailers similar to what you saw in Grindhouse. Here's an excerpt from his MTV interview about the movie set to drop next year:
When Eli Roth stopped by to talk about his new “Hostel” DVDs, he had plenty to say about murder, Metallica and pissed-off fans. The only subject that quieted him up seemed to be “Trailer Trash,” the top-secret “Grindhouse”-inspired film he’s working on.
Which is why we were all the more amazed when we actually got him to spill some significant beans.
“When I made that fake trailer for “Thanksgiving,” it was the most fun I’ve ever had shooting anything. It was just off-the-hook for two days … I thought, ‘God, there are so many ideas that I have, that I don’t think I could stretch out to a feature film, but that would make a fantastic trailer or even a fake movie,’” he explained. “You could take your most terrible, terrible idea that you’re so embarrassed to tell anybody, and turn it into a trailer for a terrible film - and it would be an awesome comedy.”
“[It comes out on] August 22nd [2008], and I would start shooting probably in February,” he said of “Trash.” “Originally I was going to do it with a bunch of other directors, but now as I’m writing it, I don’t want to share it. I want to shoot them all myself. I’m going to be directing the feature - in certain cases, we might make a rare exception, like Edgar Wright … But really only in one or two cases; otherwise I’m going to be directing the film.”
