Leave it to MTV to get the first specifics on the Tarantino/Rodriguez double feature GRIND HOUSE. Even without knowing anything about it I’m not sure there was a single project out there I was looking forward to more. Now with some details in tow, that’s a definite. Here’s a bit of what Tarantino had to say:
[Rodriguez’s] movie is called ‘Planet Terror,’ and mine is called ‘Death Proof. Mine is sort of a slasher film, but instead of a knife, it’s a car. … His, he’s dealing with zombies and all that stuff. I think his might end up being more violent, but I’m not finished with my [script] yet, so you never know.”
And on the phony trailers the movie will feature?
“That’s one of the things we’re looking the most forward to, shooting the phony trailers that will play in between the movies. I’m working out my blaxploitation trailer, and possibly a kung-fu trailer, a sexploitation trailer, a spaghetti-western trailer. I just need to kind of work them out a little bit. I’m just getting them down there, but I think for sure I’m going to do the sexploitation trailer, which is called ‘Cowgirls in Sweden.'”
