I think Mickey Rourke's "Stuntman Mike" is going to be something right out of Duel or Death Race 2000, preferably the latter.

A 240 minute movie isn't gonna work. I don't know one person who has the time to give 240 minutes of their day to see this

and I don't know anyone who'd want to sit down in a theater for that long.

....the stunt car is a 67 Chevy Nova SS.

I know someone who has one, it says Kiss my SS on it.

Maybe they're using more than one. That last pic looks like a 69, 70 or 71. Hard to tell stripped down like that.

Didn't mean to argue with you.  

    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.”

I see the S.S. but where's the werewolf women? Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

BTW, are these photos from Fango's website or the mag itself?

Watch Eli Roth's Faux Trailer 'Thanksgiving' over at IGN.

edit: The trailer is really graphic, definitely not for the younger members.

Unfortunately, this has confirmed my fears that Rodriguez and Tarantino are more concerned about capturing the grindhouse look (grainy screens, missing reals, etc.) than their own films

why are you watching the trailers now? your spoiling it for yourselves when the movies comes out..

No matter how you look at it, that's sacrificing story for sensationalism.

Wasn't that the entire point of these 70's and 80's grindhouse flicks in the first place? They're trying to recreate the spirit of those crappy movies you see playing at 3 am when the TV stations have nothing better to put on and they know that only alcoholics and those in sexless marriages are watching.

Seems to me that, in this instance, sacrificing story for sensationalism is about the smartest decision they could make. Let them make up for it in their other movies. I highly doubt that either Rodriguez or Tarantino were going for high art when they thought up these bloody things.
