Eli Roth IS The Co-Producer Of The BAYWATCH Movie!
Hey folks, Harry here... There is only one director that was born to direct a BAYWATCH movie... nay... there are only three directors that were born to direct a BAYWATCH movie! Takashi Miike, David Cronenberg or David Lynch. Anybody else will pale. Though - The Dark Brothers could make a helluva BAYWATCH movie! Here's CO-PRODUCER OF THE BAYWATCH MOVIE, ELI ROTH talking with MovieHole all about this in the pink gig of his...
Eli Roth talks Baywatch the Movie and Cabin Fever 2
Baywatch :
"I am Co-Producer of the "Baywatch" movie. And as Co-Producer it is my job to turn that whisper into a rumble, so that it is heard from coast to coast, over seas, to the polar ice caps. I am the Co-Producer of the "Baywatch" movie. I say it over and over and still honestly can't believe it some times. And then I have to remind myself, and every girl I meet, that yes, I am, in fact, the Co-Producer of the "Baywatch" movie.
Now you may be asking yourself two questions:
1) How in the hell did you wind up as Co-Producer of the "Baywatch" movie?
2) What in the hell does a Co-Producer of the "Baywatch" movie do?
Well, I'll tell you.
1) I'm not telling, that's my secret, and if I let it out then there will be a lot more co-producers out there, which is the last thing I need.
2) Producers are there to help guide the project creatively and give the director the tools he needs in order to carry out his vision, which should be in tune creatively with yours. They are there to facilitate the production and surround the director with the talent and tools to make the best film possible. They also are there to be responsible to the studio, whose money they will be spending. (In this case, Dreamworks.)
This is where I differ from the other Producers. While they will be trying to make the most fiscally responsible film possible, I will be subtly trying to drag the production out for as LONG AS POSSIBLE. I told them that I could make this film in 600 days. If it takes me 7 years on the beach Hawaii with supermodels to get this film right, I will do it. I am THAT committed to the project.
Actually, the other producers are great, and have tons of great ideas to make a really fun movie. In fact, we want to shoot the whole movie in 3-D, but we'll have to see if Dreamworks is on board with that. One of the producers, Michelle Berk, is partners in a 3-D company and the idea is to do a simultaneous release called "Baywatch 3-DD." So that's what we're fighting for. At this point Dreamworks is fast tracking the project to get a writer on board, and then we'll see if I can push my Scott Baio/Olsen Twins agenda through. Either way, no matter what happens, even if I go to prison one day, I will be still be able to tell people that I am the Co-Producer of the "Baywatch" movie."
The big question though, is will Pammy Anderson be in it? "Pammy and the Gals will most likely do cameos in the movie, but for the main cast they want to go with a whole new crop of hotties. I know the other producers spoke to Pamela about it, and she said she'd love to do a cameo. The shoot's a long way away so anything can happen, but for me, it just wouldn't be Baywatch without her"
Cabin Fever 2 :
"We are getting in the draft next week from Randy Pearlstein, who I co-wrote the first one with. He's got such a good idea for the sequel, and I can't wait to read it. Lion's Gate is rearin' to go, so hopefully once the draft comes in we'll start preproduction. I know I was the face of "Cabin Fever," but Randy really helped "flesh out" the characters before I killed them off in horrible ways", explains Mr Olsen, ah, Roth.

He's probably going to have those famous bouncing jugs fall off
by cooldan989
Yeah, I'm not sure this is a good idea. And by the way...FIRST!
-
And this is supposed to somehow make a Baywatch movie more appealing?
-
that is all
-
Why does everybody body hate Eli Roth so much. Fair enough Cabin Fever was'nt good (at all), but come on it was nowhere near as bad as you all make it out to be.
It was sub-par, below standard, weak, unoriginal. Not the worst film every to see the light of day though. That title would have to go to Charlie's Angels 2.
As for Baywatch The Movie. Wonder if they will take the Starskey and Hutch approach and totally take the piss out of the original series, not the the series was'nt funny but actually make it intentionally funny. -
I'm not sure what the problems are in that film, because I see none. I can watch it over and over. Long live, Eli Roth.

WE WANT CABIN BOY 2!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus, would the fanboys please stop riding Eli Roth's dick?!?
by mr. profit
He has no talent. Cabin Fever was a boring film. If I wanted to see infected people run around screaming and just dropping dead, I would watch a documentry on a deadly virus. It's sad how Eli is crowned the next king of horror when a fucking Janet Jackson video director made a scarier film (The Texas Chainsaw Remake).

The phrase "Who the fuck cares?" springs instantly to mind...
by jackburton
I mean lets face it, Eli Roth is a fucking hack. Yes, he may well have the gift of the fan boy gab, but he's utterly devoid of any kind of talent and as such should be left jacking his own ego into the same pile of shit as Uwe Boll.
I mean Cabin Fever was, hands down, one of the worst attempts at horror that I've seen in the past ten years. And I love horror, all kinds of horror, on all kinds of budgets, from all kinds of different nationalities and directors, with all kinds of different intents, from all the various filmic eras. But Cabin Fever, even in the realms of the truly derivative, was a new low in excruciatingly innept and unwatchable shit. So internet fanboy rant time. Fuck Eli Roth, and fuck anything he works on. And to anyone unlucky or stupid enough to be trapped in any of his future projects, Abandon Hope To All Ye Who Enter There...poor fuckers. -
Didn't Don Corleone have him whacked after he tried to double cross him on the Vegas deal?
-
And that movie was better than Cabin Fever. How funny is that? So what if he liked boob and all that good shit. If I wanted to see boobs on film I'd watch The Hot Network on cable.
-
Baywatch is fucking retarded. Therefore, Mr. Roth... well, that doesn't bode well for you.
-
>MMMPPPHHH!!!< -
You know it's going to be one big PG-13 cock tease. Now if they actually had the balls to make it an R and have nudity...well I still wouldn't pay to see it but at least it would justify itself.
-
In order to make BAYWATCH more palatable to the masses theyll include a drug smuggling boat operation, a family in jeopardy plotline, a romance between 2 majors,and include a FACE OFF boat chase in the climax. Now why would I want to see this?

This is the last movie the world needs. For fuck sakes, do not
by judge briggs
Fuck Charmed. I bet he even fucked those hot girls from Cabin fever. I would go for the blonde myself.
-
Niggers. Eli Roth is the man. Cabin Fever was silly as hell (in a good way) I WILL see a Eli Roth flick!
-
cabin fever was fucking funny , how can so many people miss the point ? I couldn't care less about a baywatch movie though .

"It was the first movie to be shot entirely in slow motion."
by stanley spector
"It hasn't been made yet." "Then he doesn't know I won the Oscar?"
-
Talk about free publicity.
-
...as cool news? yeesh.

Oh my... I had allowed myself to completely forget that ridiculously bad film. It was funny, but only in the same way that the original Sleepaway Camp was funny because the creators honestly thought they were doing something inventive and scary. I particularly enjoyed Roth's cameo as the miscellaneous dude with good bud whom all the chicks want to bang. In Baywatch, he will likely reprise that role. As for the worst films ever made, I have a relatively short list that does not include direct to video releases or sequels (for obvious reasons): 5.) Trapped in Paradise, 4.) Sleepaway Camp, 3.) Ghosts of Mars, 2.) Nothing But Trouble, 1.) The Brown Bunny. Tarantino's and Rodriguez's dog turd "From Dusk 'Til Dawn" gets an honorable mention for just falling so short of the potential promised by the collaboration. Among the five shittiest sequels ever made (made even more shitty by comparison to the preceeding films in each franchise): 5.) Nightmare on Elm Street II, 4.) Highlander II, 3.) Batman & Robin, 2.) Superman IV, 1.) Godfather III. "Return of the Jedi" gets honorable mention in this category. I haven't fully compiled my list of the five worst prequels ever made (still waiting to see how "Revenge of the Sith" turns out), but for now we've got: Red Dragon, Attack of the Clones and The Phantom Menace, in that order. Roth should make a prequel to Cabin Fever that explains the whole "Pancakes" thing. That would be a clincher for the #1 spot.

Shouldnt this headline read: MY MARGINALLY TALENTED FRIEND GOT A
by fearsme
I like him on Best Week Ever though.
-
It wasn't scary, but it was an entertaining hilllbilly movie. Cabin Fever was just stupid. So fuck Roth!
-
The first "Cabin Fever" was so fucking terrible that I honestly can't believe they are even thinking of making a sequel.
-
Anyway, Fuck Pamela Anderson, what I want to know is will David Hasselhoff make his big screen debut as Mitch Buchannon? He's HUGE in Germany y'know.
-
Eli Roth is just another in a long line of no-talent fucksticks whose rich ass parents helped him buy his way into Hollywood. He's Brett Ratner Lite. Word.

... again, word.

Pamela Anderson was always a little overrated in the hottie stak

This answers the question of first 90's TV show to get the postm
by oceansized
What'll be the first 21st century show to get it? Im guessing around 2012 or so, "Sex and the City" will feel like a symbol or a past era that famous actresses of the future will want to "reimagine". Another guess is "24". It's got the ticking clock gimmick to market around, plus it'll probably have attained cult status once it's been off the air a few years. Anyone else have any guesses???
-
I know "Baywatch" started in '89, and "Sex and the City" in '98, but they both primarily ran in the following decades.
-
This guy is all about putting bush back in films! And not like Moore! Can you imagine if this gets an R rating? My god. This could be one of the best movies ever made! Are you a bunch of fucking homos?! lol what a joke, the greatest spectacle of T&A on television comes to the mostly uncensored big screen, and everyone is pissing on Eli... imagine the unrated director's cut of this? Jesus christ, I never thought I'd be excited for Baywatch, but this just gets me hard.

Anyone who pays to see a Baywatch movie deserves a toasty place
by zerocorpse
Or at least a dunce cap and a nice corner seat.

Simple mathematics seem to suggest that this movie will make an absolute shitload of money. 2 billion regular viewers at its peak. Not to mention cheap as fuck to produce.

Didn't see "Cabin Fever." Tried. But just couldn't get through the first five minutes. Looked like a really bad student film. This guy is just a pretty boy wannabee. So here's my story and it involves everyone's favorite film "Shaun of the Dead." Went to the Arclight screening in LA. Roth was there. He was doing one of the video testimonials for the film after the screening ended. Talk about hamming it up for the camera. Oh God! Then, just as he was finished, right before he walked away, he announced to the crowd that he was the director (or whatever) of "Cabin Fever." This is when the guy next to me leaned over and said to me, "If I was him, I wouldn't announce that too loudly." I think that about says it all. You just know this guys a douche bag. Imagine having to brag in public for attention. If he hadn't, I never would have known who he was. And strangely, somehow, I think my life would have been better off. Hmmmm.....
-
He's actually creamed his shorts about producing (oh, I'm sorry, co-producing) "Baywatch the movie." Really? I mean... really? Isn't this like the kind of movie you get stuck working on when you can't get other work. Believe me, he wasn't their first choice. It's just that no one else is stupid enough to be attached to this piece of crap. The feature film version of this is a bad, bad idea. It will not translate to the movie screen. Understand that anyone will watch anything on tv if it's free. And "Baywatch" was just soft core porn for those who were too young to go out and rent porn. Notice how the show went away when high speed modems became available for the internet. Coincidence? I think not. No one is going to pay to see this film. The reviews will be awful and it will bomb opening weekend. I guarantee it. But in any case, getting back on track, my favorite part of this so-called interview, though, is when Roth says, "Pammy and the gals..." He's just so important. Isn't that just special. He gets to refer to Pamela Anderson and the other hotties of "Baywatch" as "Pammy and the gals." You're a real producer, Eli. Owwwwwwww. What a douche. Now you all must excuse me, I have to go jump into my jacuzzi with Pammy and the gals. Goodnight.

Why does a B Celebrity deserve red highlighted text for a piece

Congratulations, you can copy the writing style of Bill Simmons, the (Boston) Sports Guy! :-) (Now you are like every other drone on espn.com !)
-
Baywatch was so middleschool(1993-95) I mean seriously, just like that straight to tape Baywatch movie, just an hour and a half of cocktease. and now im gonna get nightmares of Barbwire. and why are people bagging on Cabin Fever. that movie was funny and entertaining. I seriously thought I was gonna walk out of that shit but i was laughing hard( plus Cerinna Vincent wasn't bad). back to baywatch movie, it will tank in the US but somehow break records in two bit countries( like the ones who make hasselhoff a genuine music star!!!).
-
1) Who ever watched BAYWATCH for any other reason except to jerk off to it? If the film version doesn't include topless shots of the lifeguards what's the point? 2) Who the hell is going to want to see the movie? (whether they play it straight or turn it into a big joke like the BRADY BUNCH movies or STARSKY & HUTCH) 3) CABIN FEVER was atrocious. If you have any doubt that Eli Roth is a talentless hack just read the script he wrote for his SCAVENGER HUNT movie. Easily one of the worst scripts you will ever read.

Jesus guys, this is fun news. Roth is a great character. Lighten

That sounds promising.

Don't read Bill Simmons I'm afraid, in fact had never heard of him until your post! But if he shares my writing style, hey, I guess he rules...;)
-
Weird how Cabin Fever is such a divisive movie. I thought it was funny, the music and gore were pretty good, it was creepy at times. Eli Roth's role was kind of lame, some parts were a tad self-consciously kooky and shit, but GODDAMN, you people who hate it just can't shut up about it. Baywatch, really, who gives a shit, but comparing Cabin Fever to House of the Dead and Roth to fucking Ratner is just retarded.

This will be a piece of shit from a piece of ass.
