Is that Cranberry Sauce or blood? Those of us who loved 2007’s GRINDHOUSE will have very fond memories of this mock Horror Trailer from Eli Roth. THANKSGIVING, co-written together with Jeff Rendell and directed by Roth, is now in production in and around Greater Toronto. The Film is a Holiday Horror set during Thanksgiving, where a slasher visits a small Massachussetts town with intention to make a carvery out of the town and its inhabitants.
See below for the idea that started it all!
Production recently head to Hamilton and then to Port Perry where we were able to see filming take place along its charming downtown Queen Street district. Filming is headed next to Pickering as well. The Horror stars Patrick Dempsey, Nell Verlaque, Rick Hoffman, Gina Gershon, Milo Manheim and TikTok sensation Addison Rae.
Rae drew huge crowds of teens from a nearby high school to watch filming and loud cheers could be heard errupting as she came over to say “hi” to her young fans and stopping for Selfies. We bet Port Perry hasn’t ever gotten this lucky in a bit! Hell, it’s been a while since Toronto’s gotten anything this cool! Dempsey was spotted being friendly in-character as a deputy, outside a Canada Post location transformed into a police station.
Production wraps April on THANKSGIVING, and Sony Pictures is set to release. Wondering if its release might be timed around turkey season?! It
