'Green Inferno' revealed its red band teaser ahead of the U.S. release for September 25 this year. Director Eli Roth also talked about the making of his gory cannibal film in an Ask-Me-Anything session on Reddit.

A red band clip posted by Screen Crush showed one specific scene of absolute gore involving the film's survivors and a man-eating tribal jungle in the Amazon rainforest. It was reminiscent of Ruggero Deodato's infamous cannibal exploitation flick from the 1980's. It was reported that the film centers on a group of privileged American college activists stranded in the middle of nowhere after a plane crash because of misguided efforts to save the Peruvian rainforest.

According to an article by The Dissolve, 'Green Inferno' was first screened at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2013 and its public release had been pushed back until recently. It had been pulled out previously not because of its grisly and cruel elements but because of behind-the-scenes lawsuits studio executives and financiers. It was also reported that director Eli Roth had already announced 'Beyond the Green Inferno' as a running title for a planned sequel to be helmed by Nicolas Lopez.

Roth took to an Ask-Me-Anything session on Reddit to talk more about his filmmaking journey and behind-the-scenes details about his horror project. When asked about the most challenging scene he had to shoot he replied, "Inferno was so hard only because we were in this remote village in the amazon.It was 5 hours of travel every day, going in land rovers and then up the river 90 minutes. The day we threw Lorenza Izzo in the river was hard because we found a location that was washed away when we went back to film it. So we found a rock she could cling to but it almost pulled her under and she almost drowned. that sort of thing happened a lot. It was actually really scary."

He also admitted that despite all efforts of vaccination and other preparatory health efforts, he was the only one among the cast and crew who didn't get sick somehow. He also added that that he would like to do a special screening for the people he worked with in the Amazon but they would need to go back to the isolated village and bring a generator in addition to other special equipment needed for the show.

'Green Inferno' is an adventure-horror film scheduled for a U.S. release on September 25, 2015. It stars Lorenza Izzo, Daryl Sabara, Sky Ferreira, Kirby Bliss Blanton, Magda Apanowicz, Ariel Levy and Aaron Burns among others. The $6 million budget film received mixed reviews from critics, some calling it "funnier than it is scary, and grosser than it is funny".
