THE SLEAZE FILLED, BLOOD-SPLATTERED SAGA OF THEIR TWO-FISTED EXPLOITATION SPECTACULAR!
For no better reason than an excuse to show off a couple of alternate Grindhouse posters, we'd like to offer three bits of Planet Terror slash Death Proof related news. First up is the fact that Robert Rodriguez is reportedly in talks with legendary dierector/composer John Carpenter about providing a bit of his signature music for at least the Rodriguez half of the double feature.
Second in addition to the quote below Tarantino has been saying something to just about everyone who'll listen.
"We're going to make two, sleazy grindhouse movies that will deliver on the posters… and beyond!" said Tarantino. "This isn't some Twilight Zone the Movie f*cking thing. This is not a faux double feature. This is two f*cking movies for the price of one! You're $10 will be well spent at the Grindhouse, baby!"
Quentin has also been talking about making not one but two animated "Kill Bill" prequels (as per The Animatrix that Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury thing and that Oren Ishi bit from Kill Bill Vol 1). The first the two anime features would be the origin tale of Bill and his mentors, (Pai Mei and Hattori Hanzo) the 2nd would be a tale featuring The Bride.
Third . . . But, in one of those last but not least kind of ways.
Literary minded film fans will need to add a new date to their appointment calendars . . . March 7, because that's when mini-mogul Robert Rodriguez's Troublemaker Press will be releasing their standard sleaze-filled 250 page making-of companion book to Grindhouse filled with all of the usual cast and crew interviews, full-color on-set photos, previously unreleased conceptual art and of course something refered to as an in-depth history of the so-called grindhouse genre.
So-called because the "grindhouse genre" essentially encompasses a variety of sub-genre's from blaxploitation and the spaghetti-western to Kung Fu films of the Shaw Brothers variety) courtesy of Tarantino and Rodriguez themselves which should be fun even if it’s a reach at only 250 pages.
That poster at the top is really cool, it looks like Stepford Wives on heroin.
Can one get a version for the computer 'desktop'.
btw, I'm not on drugs, I leave that to the experts in hollywood.

To the best of my knowledge there are no Grindhouse (Planet Terror slash Death Proof) desktop wallpapers available yet. But as soon as there are, we'll definitely find an excuse to post them here.

Cool. Just be careful with that, I swear I got a virus from a download wallpaper. Since my only DVD player is on my computer, I was cut off from both movies and the internet. I had to go look at nature and stuff.
