Caffeinated Clint
But the good news : “Are We Done Yet?” will remain in tact!
As discussed in this weeks Caffeinated Clint, the heavily anticipated “Grindhouse” has been pulled from its May release slot in Australia and postponed till later in the year – at which time it will be split into two separate movies.
Roadshow Film Distributors confirmed this today, in the following email :
In keeping with the theatrical release plans for all territories outside of the US, GRINDHOUSE will now be released as two separate theatrical features:
DEATH PROOF directed by Quentin Tarantino and PLANET TERROR directed by Robert Rodriguez.
Quentin Tarantino’s DEATH PROOF is premiering in the Cannes Film Festival in May. The Australian release of DEATH PROOF will be later in the year and will be followed by the release of PLANET TERROR.
Sad indeed. How about we fuck off a few of the Norbits, Night at the Museum’s and Wild Hogs’ and make way for some original, fine-ass, content again? I suppose we should probably start with writing in a new rule for studio employees : ‘no former accountants to play studio development chiefs’.
Note : JoBlo.com has another interesting story on the “Grindhouse” split – stateside – over there.
