Paul Giamatti is set to star in a Hostel TV series, based on the gory films directed by Eli Roth.
Roth teased the project with two posts on hisInstagram account, writing, “Passports, please,” and “Who else really feels like traveling?” The filmmaker toldCinepoplast year that he had more ideas for the Hostel franchise, and that he wouldn’t want anyone else to direct.
“They’re a part of me. They’re like my children. I feel like I’ve ignored them for too long. And I’d love to go back to them in some way. I have ideas,” he explained. “I would direct it. I don’t want it in anyone else’s hands.”
Giamatti recently took home the Golden Globe for Best Actor for his role as boarding school teacher Paul Hunham in Alexander Payne’sThe Holdovers. He’s currently filming Downton Abbey 3.
