Nicolas Lopez Will Direct Sequel To Eli Roth's GREEN INFERNO Which Is Titled BEYOND THE GREEN INFERNO

HitFix reports that it's been announced at TIFF that Eli Roth's Green Inferno will be getting a sequel. Beyond The Green Inferno will see Roth collaborator and Aftershock director Nicolas Lopez taking over directing duties. Reactions from it's Midnight Madness screening at the festival seem glowing so far, so a sequel going into production soon might be a very smart marketing move on Roth's part. When the film is sold to a distributor they can also sell the rights to other film as well, with the hope of a unique newly created horror franchise. When Hollywood is scrambling to remake every horror film they can get their hands on. An original concept could be one that really sticks with audiences.

Variety has picked up details on Eli Roth's Green Inferno which will be his return to horror. The film will be cannibal film influenced by the Italian sub-genre that included films such as Cannibal Holocaust and Green Inferno (fake sequel to Cannibal H.). Roth wrote the film with Guillermo Amoedo the pair worked together on the earthquake thriller Aftershock. It's the first time Roth has pulled a Tarantino concerning his titles and should have as much gore if not more than his previous xenophobic flicks Hostel 1-2. No word if it would be set in the 70's or 80's but it would be a little more visually interesting if it was.

The film on a group of "naïve do-gooders" who survive a terrible plane crash in the midst of the Peruvian jungle only to be the prey of a batch of man-eating tribesmen.
