Coming Soon are reporting that Eli Roth will be directing Stephen King's Cell. Ashleigh has had good things to say about the book, and by the sounds of things, it's perfect for filming. That said, Eli Roth? It'll be interesting to see what he turns in. I've only got Cabin Fever to base an opinion on so far (and I didn't mind that) but he doesn't strike me as the most obvious choice. Maybe Hostel will convince me.

This is potentially awful news, especially if Roth gets his way and is allowed to write it. Cabin Fever was the most overhyped film of it’s year and turned out to be pretty dire. The upcoming Hostel may not be a fair yardstick to measure Roth’s improvement by, as there seems to be a fairly large question over how much input Tarantino had.
Still, it won’t be as big a disappointment as The Hills Have Eyes remake…..
