Rosario Dawson has found herself a killer new boyfriend.

Sources tell me the New York beauty has been dating horror-movie director Eli Roth.

The two reportedly hit it off while promoting Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse.

Dawson costars in Death Proof, the Tarantino-directed half of the double feature. Roth directed a fake and hysterically gory trailer for a 1970s-style slasher flick called Thanksgiving. He's the man behind the 2005 hit Hostel, with a sequel hitting theaters in June.

Dawson most recently dated Jason Lewis for about two years before they split in November.

While Roth may not have Lewis' model looks, the handsome Boston native ain't bad himself. Last year, Men's Health voted him Most Fit Director.

Reps for Dawson and Roth declined to comment.

Dawson and Roth aren't the only lovebirds to be hatched from Grindhouse. Rodriguez and Rose McGowan are a couple, too. They reportedly first hooked up during the making of the movie—when many believed Rodriguez was still married to his producing partner, Elizabeth Avellan.

However, a rep for Rodriguez and Avellan's production company issued a statement on Thursday saying that the couple "were separated long before the Grindhouse production began.
