"Grindhouse" Welcomes Some New Tenants
The perpetually on-again off-again "Grind House" looks to be revving back into first gear once again, complete with a whole new dose of casting news.
Looks like a handful of colorful folks will star in Robert Rodriguez's "Planet Terror," which will be partnered up with Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof" in the dual-storied horror flick.
According to Variety, "Freddy Rodriguez, Rose McGowan and Josh Brolin will star in Robert Rodriguez's "Planet Terror," a 60-minute zombie movie to be accompanied by a slasher film directed by Quentin Tarantino and released under the title "Grind House" by Dimension Films.
Dimension will bow "Grind House" -- a tribute to the '70s exploitation films that influenced both directors -- on Easter weekend next year. Marley Shelton, Michael Biehn, Jeff Fahey, Michael Parks and the Black Eyed Peas' Stacy Ferguson also star in "Planet."
No word yet on QT's portion, but we'll be keeping an eye on this project ... like we have been for the past year or so.
