Speaking at the NME Awards in Los Angeles, Roth, who directed the Hostel films, said his new project will be family friendly.
He said: "This will be my first big-budget, PG-13, mass-destruction movie. I want total chaos and pandemonium."
The PG-13 certificate suggests that some material may not be suitable for children under 13. The stricter R rating requires those under 17 to be accompanied by an adult.
Roth said: "I feel like I pushed the violence in R movies about as far as I can push it. I feel like I'm bled out. I wanna switch it up."
The director declined to give away any plot details but said a "big announcement" will be made next month.
He added: "Everyone I know has been saying 'When are you gonna do a movie my kids can see?' And finally, I'm gonna make a movie that 13-year-old kids can see."
