Plot Details for Eli Roth’s The Green Inferno

Earlier this year, it was announced that Eli Roth was set to direct his first new film since Hostel: Part II in 2007. Titled The Green Inferno, the plot of the film was not released with the original announcement, but Eli Roth hinted on Twitter that the story involve cannibals. We now have official confirmation that this will be a cannibal film, along with the first plot details:

Via Variety: "[The Green Inferno is] ... inspired by Italo mondo films like Ruggero Deodato's notorious 1980 'Cannibal Holocaust' and Antonio Climati's 1988 'Natura contro' (also known as 'The Green Inferno' and 'Cannibal Holocaust II'), 'The Green Inferno' follows an idealistic student and a group of naive do-gooders who are captured by cannibalistic Indios after their plane crash lands in the Peruvian jungle"

Worldview Entertainment will produce The Green Inferno and it had been previously announced that production will begin this fall in Peru and Chile. Here is what Roth had to say about the upcoming project:

“I’ve had an amazing few years producing, writing and acting, and am very excited to get back in the director’s chair. I’ve been working on this idea for several years, and was inspired by filming in Chile and cannot wait to get back... Worldview backs my vision and believes in me, and is giving me the support I need and the freedom to take risks and make something daring and terrifying. I believe this will be the scariest and most intense film I have made to date. I want to audiences worldwide to feel my return to directing was worth the wait.”
