“ We went in the Amazon deeper than anyone has ever shot a movie before,” Roth told Empire. Roth, who used many stages for his Hostel films, this time took his cast, including Daryl Sabara, Kirby Bliss Blanton, Lorenza Izzo, Ariel Levy, Aaron Burns, Magda Apanowicz and Sky Ferreria, way out of their comfort zone. Riffing on the English title for Cannibal Holocaust II, Roth took his crew deep into the Amazon for The Green Inferno, which see student activists from comfy NYC travel to the remote forests of Peru to stage a protest but instead they discover a tribe of not-that-friendly cannibals. But we’re talking about Eli Roth here, director of horror classics including Cabin Fever and Hostel. Of course, if you’re a terrible filmmaker, the viewer won’t even know you were deep in the jungle, thus you may as well have used a green screen. Doing it with the aid of millions of dollars, or on a posh stage is one thing-but taking talent deep into the Amazon is entirely new game. While we sit back on our tablets reading and snarking about upcoming films, many don’t understand just how difficult the filmmaking process can be.
