‘Thanksgiving’ Eli Roth Panel Cancels At NYCC

The New York Comic-Con panel for TriStar and Spyglass’ Eli Roth directed horror movie, Thanksgiving, just canceled. No reason was provided by the studio. A sit-down chat with the genre filmmaker, who was going to show off a featurette in the room, was to take place tomorrow, Oct. 13 at the Empire Stage in the Javits Center at 8 30PM.

One source says the last-minute pull-out was due to a “scheduling issue”. We hear at this time that no other panels at NYCC are expected to cancel tomorrow.

A rep for New York Comic-Con did not respond for request to comment. Ditto for Sony. We’ll let you know if they do.

With the SAG-AFTRA strike in its 92nd day, that didn’t stop some actors from getting onstage to talk about themselves, though not struck work, read Ewan McGregor today.

Roth and Barber signed the Creative Community for Peace open letter today which called on the entertainment community to speak out forcefully against Hamas, to support Israel, to refrain from sharing misinformation about the war, and do whatever is in their power to urge the terrorist organization to return the innocent hostages to their families.
