Eli Roth hinted that Addison Rae might be involved in ‘Thanksgiving 2.’
The 23-year-old singer and actress played the role of Gaby in the horror film released in 2023.
And Roth, the filmmaker and co-writer of the first and second films, revealed that Rae’s character was “kept alive for a specific reason.”
The director explained in an interview at the premiere of his ‘Borderlands’ film adaptation on Tuesday (August 6): “I love Addison Rae. We kept her alive for a reason. It’s not a ‘Thanksgiving’ movie without Addison Rae.” However, insiders told ‘Variety’ that Rae has not yet officially signed on for the project.
‘Thanksgiving’ is based on the parody trailer that the 52-year-old filmmaker Roth made 16 years ago for the Quentin Tarantino-Robert Rodriguez double feature ‘Grindhouse.’ The creepy film tells the story of a serial killer who terrorizes the residents of Plymouth, Massachusetts, while disguised as a 17th-century pilgrim. Rae’s character survived, as did Scuba (Gabriel Davenport), Ryan (Milo Manheim), Bobby (Jalen Thomas Brooks), and Jessica (Nell Verlaque). The new film also featured Patrick Dempsey, who portrayed Sheriff Eric Newlon, as well as Rick Hoffman and Gina Gershon.
