Eli Roth may be known for his heavy participation in violent films, but the Inglorious Basterds star believes violence should stay in a place where it’s all make-believe — the movie screen.
The “Splat Pack” icon is putting his quirky sense of humor to good use to put an end to animal cruelty in a PETA public service announcement. Roth both directed and stars in the PSA, which launched yesterday on MySpace.
Take a look at the video below.

Yesterday at the roundtable for Quentin Tarantino’s war epic Inglourious Basterds, Eli Roth said it would be fine if we Flipped him (recorded video of him via “flip camera” – I’m trying to create a new word for it). He sat down to the table ready to not only answer our questions but entertain us with a number of great stories from the set. He talked about nearly being killed on set by filming when a fire on set got out of control, Tarantino’s strict “no cell phone, no chair village” policy, having to become “The Bear Jew” and a whole lot more.
Check out three videos below…

It’s time for Nation’s Pride, the story about one of Germany’s greatest Nazi war heroes ever, Fredrick Zoller (played by Daniel Brühl). This is a film that will inspire you… the Germans… to fight for your country. Well, maybe if you live in the world of Inglourious Basterds.
Don’t worry, we haven’t skin-headed out on you. As a kind gag/viral marketing campaign, The Weinstein Company has just released a trailer for Nation’s Pride, which is a film within Quentin Tarantino’s soon to be released war epic Inglourious Basterds.
Check out the “trailer” below…

One of the tell tale signs that a movie franchise needs to end is when the original director or producer decides they want no part of it. I’ve never been a huge fan of Eli Roth’s Hostel horror series, but surprisingly as the director even he’s decided to jump ship. According to ShockTillYouDrop, Roth will not be involved with the upcoming third installment of the series. The director wants to focus more on the development of his original features rather than rehashing those from the past.
Read why Roth’s done with Hostel after the jump.

Here’s another horror remake coming your way via our favorite “torture porn” director, Eli Roth. This year he’s spent the majority of his time promoting himself as an actor. He stars in the highly anticipated Quentin Tarantino film Inglourious Basterds, which will debut in theaters this August. There’s nothing wrong with a little diversity, but Roth definitely plans to return to his horror directing roots with his next couple of projects. According to Fangoria, Roth has his eye on remaking the 1981 Tobe Hooper film, The Funhouse.
