Cannibal Holocaust
In 2005, Deodato announced that he planned to make a companion piece to "Cannibal Holocaust" entitled "Cannibals". Deodato was originally hesitant about directing his new film, as he thought that he would make it too violent for American audiences. However, while he was in Prague filming his cameo appearance in "" for Eli Roth, Deodato viewed "Hostel" and decided that he would direct after all, citing it as a similarly violent film that was given a mainstream release in the United States. Although the screenplay, written by Christine Conradt, was completed, a financial conflict between Deodato and the film's producer led to the project's cancellation. In 2013, Roth directed "The Green Inferno", which takes its title from the fictional documentary produced in "Cannibal Holocaust". Roth's film was intended as an homage to "Cannibal Holocaust" and other cannibal films from the same era.
