Last year, we wrote about rumors that Machete, a fake movie whose trailer was featured in Grindhouse, would be turned into an actual full-length feature. Now, not only is Machete in production, but another movie advertised in a Grindhouse trailer is on the road to reality. Gore guru Eli Roth tells Cinematical that he's ready to start work soon on Thanksgiving, a slasher flick that harkens back to the holiday-themed horrors of the 1980s. (You can watch Roth's original trailer, packed with nudity and ultraviolence, over on IGN.)
