conceptually, this is quite brilliant

Tarantino teams up with Rodriguez....what a dream team of my 2 favourite directors!!!

I am waiting with bated breath with this release...GRINDHOUSE is a 2007 film that consists of two segments, of which both are feature-length attractions. One segment, Planet Terror, will be a zombie film written and directed by Robert Rodriguez. The other segment, Death Proof, will be a slasher film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. There will also be trailers advertising fake films between the segments.

It is their homage to exploitation B-movie thrillers that combines two feature-length segments into one double-bill designed to replicate the grind house theatergoing experience of the 70s and 80s. In 'Death Proof,' a psycho named Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) stalks and kills beautiful women with his car. In 'Planet Terror,' a small-town sheriffs' department has to deal with an outbreak of murderous, infected people called 'sickos.' A gun-legged woman named Cherry (Rose McGowan) and her martial arts-wielding partner (Freddy Rodriguez) take on the zombie army.

It's set for release on 7 April 2007...just wondering now whether it'll make it into local cinemas uncut...
