Stop whatever you’re doing and watch the first trailer for Planet Terror right now. Not sure how long the trailer will be up, looks like a rip from comic-con, that someone threw onto YouTube. Great trailer despite the poor video quality. -Zavier
Though earth and man are gone, I thought the cube would last forever. I WAS WRONG.
Thanks so much for giving us the heads up NiXoN. That trailer was absolutely incredible. Rodriguez is one of the great innovators in the filmmaking industry at the moment, along with George Lucas and James Cameron.
Planet Terror looks absolutely amazing. Just incredibly stylized and very well made. This movie is going to be an absolute blast. I can't wait for a Death Proof trailer as well. This will just be awesome. Can't wait.
That teaser is amazing. Rodriguez is a good filmmaker, especially in terms of the visuals and Tarantino is obviously a master of his craft. This is high on my list of anticipated movies of 2007 and I will be first in line to see this baby. I think it's about time audiences got another dose of Tarantino. He's even said he thinks this could be the best script he's ever written (I can't remember where I read that, or if I ever did).
Anyway, cool trailer. Love Rose McGowen with the machine gun for a leg. What a cool touch. Rodriguez sure does have a flair for weapons, as can be seen in the El Mariachi trilogy.
is it just me or is that bruce willis in Planet terror you see for a split second, sure looks like him. I know nicolas cage is in the trailer for one of the fake films they did, but I din't know John Mclain was gonna be in it. This gets better and better.
Probably not as exciting as news regarding the main features but interesting nevertheless...
According to IMDB, in addition to Tarantino and Rodriguez, Eli Roth, Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead), and Rob Zombie are directing the fake trailers in between Death Proof and Planet Terror. Roth's segment is called "Thanksgiving." Zombie's is called "Werewolf Women of the S.S." and stars Nicholas Cage and a handful of Zombie regulars... sounds absolutely trashy. Perfectly fitting IMO .
Cool. I knew that Eli Roth and Rob Zombie were doing faux trailers, but I didn't know that Edgar Wright was involved. Huge fan of Shaun of the Dead so it should be pretty cool to see what kind of stuff he comes up with.
Also, has there been any Grindhouse 2 talk yet? Knowing Robert Rodriguez (who can't leave anything alone) there will be one. I read somewhere that there was some talk of it already, maybe making movies out of the fake trailers that they're doing for this one. Just what I heard but has anything been confirmed yet?
Music plays a major role in any Tanantino film; in most cases he has the music picked before the film every shoots. Here is a press release from Maverick Records, the folks responsible for putting out the Death Proof soundtrack.

MAVERICK RECORDS TO RELEASE SOUNDTRACK TO QUENTIN TARANTINO’S DEATH PROOF ON APRIL 3RD
Death Proof is Acclaimed Film Director Tarantino’s Highly-Anticipated Half of Exploitation Double-Feature Grindhouse
Burbank, CA — Maverick Records will release the soundtrack to Death Proof — Quentin Tarantino’s half of the new exploitation movie double feature Grindhouse — on April 3rd, three days before the two films hit theaters on April 6th. The second film, Planet Terror, was directed by Robert Rodriguez. In between the two features, trailers advertising fake films, directed by Eli Roth and Rob Zombie, among others, will be shown.
Death Proof follows Austin's hottest DJ, Jungle Julia (Sydney Tamiia Poitier) as she sets out into the night to unwind with her two friends Shanna (Jordan Ladd) and Arlene (Vanessa Ferlito). Covertly tracking their moves is Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell), a scarred rebel leering from behind the wheel of his muscle car, revving just feet away.
The soundtrack includes classic songs from the ’60s and ’70s, such as “Jeepster” from British glam rock band T Rex, “Staggolee” from San Francisco blues band Pacific Gas & Electric, “Down In Mexico” from doo-wop legends The Coasters, and “Good Love, Bad Love” by Stax R&B legend Eddie Floyd. It also features a haunting composition, entitled “Paranoia Prima,” from legendary Italian film score composer Ennio Morricone. The songs are interspersed with dialogue voiced by the actors including Russell, Rose McGowan, Eli Roth, and Michael Bacall.
The music perfectly captures the feel of the exploitation films that became popular in American cinema in the late ’60s and ’70s. With their explicit sex and excessive violence and gore, the films were mainly shown in inner-city theaters, called “grindhouses,” usually as back-to-back double features. “I grew up watching those type of movies and I loved them,” Tarantino says in Grindhouse: The Sleaze-Filled Saga of An Exploitation Double Feature. “The whole grindhouse experience, where you would see two horror films in these low ghetto theaters. Robert and I had the idea to actually do this film that is closer to a grindhouse ride and recreates the experience in one movie and in the best possible version ever presented.”
The track-listing for the soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof is as follows:
(Film dialogue is in italic).
“The Last Race” — Jack Nitzsche “Baby, It's You” — Smith “Paranoia Prima” — Ennio Morricone “Planning & Scheming” — Eli Roth & Michael Bacall “Jeepster” — T Rex “Stuntman Mike” — Rose McGowan & Kurt Russell “Staggolee” — Pacific Gas & Electric “The Love You Save (May Be Your Own)” — Joe Tex “Good Love, Bad Love” — Eddie Floyd “Down In Mexico” — The Coasters “Hold Tight - Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich “Sally and Jack (From the Motion Picture Blow Out)” — Pino Donaggio “It's So Easy” — Willy DeVille “Whatever-However” — Tracie Thoms & Zoe Bell “Riot In Thunder Alley” — Eddie Beram “Chick Habit” — April March

Three new images from Rob Zombie's "Werewolf Women of the S.S.", his faux trailer playing between Robert Rodriguez's "Planet Terror" and Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof" According to Fangoria, the faux trailer features Nicolas Cage as Fu Manchu, Udo Kier as SS officer Franz Hess, and Zombie's wife, Sheri Moon Zombie, and Sybil Danning as SS officers/sisters Eva and Gretchen Krupp.
