There may be more to the rumors of QT re-making a Chinese Kung Fu movie prior to starting Inglorious Bastards than I originally thought. A story in the Hollywood Reporter today about the Weinsteins investing in Asian films says this:

Titles that the fund is expected to handle include Wong Kar Wai's "My Blueberry Nights," the opening-night film at the Festival de Cannes, and a remake of the Hong Kong martial arts movie "Come Drink With Me," directed by Quentin Tarantino.

I think this is the IMDB entry for the original version of Come Drink With Me.

Tarantino talks about GRINDHOUSE's box office disappointment and his plans for the Cannes version of Death Proof.

If you liked the idea of the Tarantinotes, but were disappointed because they were based in the UK, then you'll love the Tarantinos NYC.

They are a cover band that plays nothing but songs from Tarantino's films - and they are based in New York. Also check out their MySpace page.

Not suprisingly, Tarantino is taking Death Proof to the Cannes Film Festival.

I'm just hoping that Michael Moore doesn't win again.

The Death Proof screenplay is available over at Amazon along with a growing list of GRINDHOUSE branded merchandise.

With the split of GRINDHOUSE coming, you may want to go ahead and pick up the double poster - it may not be around much longer.

Just an FYI, the Tarantino Archives (tarantino.info) has experience some serious database problems that has taken them offline until they can be fixed. They've set up a temporary blog at tarantinoarchives.blogspot.com to keep folks informed as to their status. Here's hoping they are up and running again soon.

Blackfilm has a couple of interviews up with Sydney Tamiia Poitier and Tracie Thoms about their roles in GRINDHOUSE. Thanks to Wilson for the heads up.

If you haven't been out to see GRINDHOUSE yet, get off your ass and go. It fell out of the top 10 in the box office and only made $434 per screen this past week - likely meaning that its not going to be in theatres for much longer.

Its apparently panic time for Harvey Weinstein - he's kicking around the idea of re-releasing GRINDHOUSE as 2 separate movies in just a couple of weeks.

This is just wrong, wrong, wrong.

Unfortunately, it looks like GRINDHOUSE didn't do well at the box office this weekend - managing only 4th place with only about $12m in receipts.

The GRINDHOUSE Companion Book is now shipping.

Hey folks, I'm always getting emails from film students with lots of questions about QT's filmmaking style, and I rarely have the time to respond properly. But Rebekah was smart enough to pose her questions in the form of a questionnaire that any of you can fill out after watching GRINDHOUSE this weekend.

Rebekah is pursuing her PhD in Film Studies at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and the questionnaire is short and sweet - so lets help her out.

GRINDHOUSE doesn't officially open until Friday, but 13 lucky cities are getting Thursday openings. If you are in one of these big market cities, check with theaters to see if you can get tickets:

Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington DC

With GRINDHOUSE officially hitting theaters on Friday, its inevitable that rumors of QT's next film start to fly. Its never really clear from the articles whether Tarantino is committing to making the films it appears that he is, or if the writers are just picking and choosing sentences that fit the mold of what they want him to make next. This next rumor probably falls into the latter category:

Quentin Tarantino to Remake Classic Chinese Kungfu Movie.

I'm pretty sure this is just a re-hash of something QT said back in 2003, but we just don't know enough yet.
