This one sounds like a load of hogwash – but since it’s reached the trades (it originally emerged at one of those ol’ Trusty British newspaper portals), I thought it worth a spin.
Britney Spears starring in a remake of “Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!” for director Quentin Tarantino.
You can laugh now, or later?
It’s a bit of a joke. Quentin Tarantino, what after the failure of “Grindhouse”, is enough of a risk these days – you really think anyone’s going to bankroll something headlined by Britney Spears? Betting on a one-storked greyhound would make more sense.
Wouldn’t be surprised if ol’ banana-chin debunks this one by morning – if only by saying “Fuck, Like, Ya know, I like, ya know, only make one movie every five years – and I won’t know what the next one is, ya know, until fuckin’ 2011 man”.
“Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!” is a Russ Meyer camp classic from the 60s. In the new film, Spears would apparently play one of three thrill-seeking strippers who meet up with a young couple in the desert. Spears’ Varla character murders the boyfriend with her bare hands before kidnapping the girl.
