Thanks for helping me prove a point.
All I need is one word and everyone comes a readin! (And with good reason!)
IGN spoke yesterday with Freddy Rodriguez about his role in the upcoming Robert
Rodriguez zombie flick PLANET TERROR, which will be half of the horror
combination that will create the new god GRINDHOUSE. (The other half being
Tarantino’s DEATH PROOF)
Rodriguez had this to say about the upcoming film :
“It’s an homage to the 1970s
exploitation films that were really popular back then, and also an homage to the
double feature,…” explains Rodriguez.”… I star in Robert’s. In all of
Robert’s films in the past, he always has a quintessential action hero and
that’s who I play in the film.”
Very cool stuff. And in regards to any tidbits of what the film is like,
Rodriguez said: “It’s a horror film, so you’re going to
get a little bit of gore in it. But it’s gore with taste, if you can even
associate both words,” notes Rodriguez of his installment, Planet Terror.
“It’s gore with class. It’s Robert Rodriguez; this guy puts out the good stuff.
So you know anything he has his hand in is going to be good. And also Quentin —
anything he has his hand in is going to have that certain level of quality to
it.”
GRINDHOUSE had been generating enormous amounts of buzz for months now,
and promises to be something completely new. The only debate I feel now is which
of the flicks I’m more excited about. As much of a zombie lover as I am, I think
I’m more stoked about Tarantino’s half. I’m dying to see Kurt Russel in a decent
role again, and the idea of a killer car isn’t something that I’ve seen since
CHRISTINE. (Unless the killer car is Herbie, and the death being referred to is
the once classic franchise that Lindsey Lohan skankified)
