Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez Create "Grind House"

Reuniting with the Weinsteins for a Different Kind of Horror Film

By , About.com Guide

May 26, 2005 - Apparently the Weinsteins aren't taking any time off after the end of the Miramax/Disney relationship. Bob and Harvey Weinstein have been very busy, seemingly announcing a new production deal every day for the past few weeks.

Their latest project to make the news is "Grind House." Quentin Tarantino ("Pulp Fiction," "Kill Bill") and Robert Rodriguez ("Spy Kids," "Sin City") will each direct a 60 minute horror film, which will then be packaged together as "Grind House." According to The Hollywood Reporter, trailers and extras from other filmmakers will be shown between the two films similar to what the old 'grindhouses' used to do decades ago. Variety coined the phrase grindhouse to describe old movie theaters which ran double or triple features continuously without much time in between the films.

The Weinsteins issued a statement saying, "We couldn't imagine anything more exciting than a film being made together by the two godfathers of our companies, Quentin and Robert."
