Sometimes a guy is just so damn cool, and you love his movies so much, that even when he doesn’t give you much information you still want to hear what he has to say. That’s basically the case with an interview that IGN FilmForce posted with Robert Rodriguez in which he talks about his upcoming flick GRIND HOUSE which he will co-direct with Quentin Tarrantion.
Couldn’t be cooler, right? Right! Of course he doesn’t really say anything about the film in the interview other than how cool it’s going to be. It’s a lot of stuff like this:
I had an idea to do a double feature. I had an old double feature poster that had two movie posters on the same poster, saying ‘Two Hot Rod Flicks Together,’ Drag Strip Girl and Rock All Night or something like that, and I thought I should do something like that; they are truncated features, like each one is an hour. I forgot about it and went to show [Tarantino] his Sin City scene, and he had the same poster on his floor (laughs). I said, ‘Hey! I was thinking about doing a double feature – you should do one and I’ll do the other one.’ He was like, ‘Oh, f*** yeah, we’ll call it Grind House and we’ll do fake trailers in between for movies that don’t exist.’ So we’re just having so much fun. It will be [released through] the new Weinstein company.
