Eli Roth has announced that he plans to make a feature-length version of his faux Grindhouse trailer Thanksgiving.

The Hostel director, who is currently co-starring in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, said that he wants to helm a homage to holiday-themed slasher movies.

He told Sci-Fi Wire: "There is hope for Thanksgiving, because that one I retain the rights to, and that, I love it."

He added: "Now I'm kind of thinking maybe I should make like 20 Thanksgivings in a row, just shoot them all and just release them out of order.

"Like, do Thanksgiving 7, then Thanksgiving 4, then 5 and 6 in the theatre. People'd be like, 'Why did 7 come out already?' It's like, 'Well, it doesn't matter. It's just a bunch of people getting chopped up anyways. Who cares?'"

Roth recently revealed that he had dropped out as director of Stephen King adaptation Cell.
