Question: Now let me ask you about the publicity aspect of promoting Hostel II domestically. because it seems you're not doing any domestic press. Why do you think that is and how concerned are you about that?

Eli Roth: Not concerned at all. I think it's a smart idea. I mean I think that Saw III, Saw II they didn't do any press screenings.

Question: But they did a junket ----

Eli Roth: Well here's the thing. For Hostel and for Hostel II, people know what it is. I've talked about the film and I'm not even going to see it until like 5.00 today. It's finally like I'll see it at the lab. It's like still coming out of the developer. But truthfully, right now, the power of the movie is the mystery. We don't want spoilers getting out there. So if we just screen it for anybody - we don't want to have a press junket without showing it but we don't want to screen it for people because then all the story twists will get out.

Question: So why have an international junket over a domestic junket?

Eli Roth: This is really publicity questions. I have no idea. I mean the big thing that I don't' want is I don't want the story twists to get out because as soon as someone sees it, it all gets out there on the internet and then everybody know what's happening.

Question: When you're doing interviews for Hostel II, what difficulties do you encounter trying to talk up a movie that we can't see.

Eli Roth: We don't have to try to talk it up. I mean the truth of the matter is fans know what the movie is and they know that I'm directing and the people that saw Hostel and loved it are so excited. The film came on tracking huge, and so they know that the audience is out there and people are salivating to see it. And the interest, like we don't have to try and, people know what it is. And I think people have an idea what it is . We don't have to educate people on what Hostel part 2 is.

For you: how much actually is Paxton in Hostel 2? Is he only the "opening kill" or does his story span the whole movie?

For Eli: ask him about the status of CELL. Is there anything more than King's okay, like a finished script or someone he has in mind for the lead role?

Saw the sneak preview in front of 'Bug' Friday night, has me thinking that Paxton will be more than just an opening kill.

Ask Roth if he'd ever consider working outside of the horror genre. Also, where he's coming from in his desire to add comedy to his horror pictures so far.

1. So, what's Bijou Philips like working with.... she's pretty.

2. I know you've discussed a desire to original material, do have anything germinating?

3. Why kill Matarazzo so quickly (I'm assuming)? I mean she is the ugly one....

I guess I don't have very many questions to delve into the mind of Eli Roth. Uh...

4. What does he think about being labeled as the new face of horror, and what does he think his impact has been, or might be?

5. Was fucking Camryn Manheim worth it?

Ripoll- want to write it up for CC?

I'm a little pissed at the no screenings thing too. It's pretty much the only mainstream horror flick I'm looking forward to.

Saw III had press screenings, of that I'm sure. Eli's wrong on that count.

I can't wait for Hostel: Part II's opening weekend, as Lionsgate will have to justify its June release date when the film opens to less than the original.
