At the Con,
details were finally given out on what we can expect with the DVD release of
Grindhouse. I know what your asking... will the release be as big a shambles as the theatrical marketing for the movie or have they actually come to their senses and offered audiences lots of different ways to purchase the films (i.e. both films in one box set and individual releases)? Well I can tell you, both movies will be released separately and there won't be a box set. At least not yet anyway. First
Death Proof...
Quentin Tarantino's serial-killer homage to the old school car chase film, Death Proof will hit shelves with over 30 minutes of additional, never-before-seen footage including the maddening "missing reel" (containing the excised lapdance sequence) as well as a black and white segment in the film's second act. The DVD will hit on September 18, 2007 for a price of $29.95. Features will include: Finding Quentin's Gals The Guys of Death Proof Kurt Russell as Stuntman Mike Introducing Zoe Bell Quentin's Greatest Collaborator: Editor Sally Menke Double Dare trailer International Poster Gallery
This will be the print of the movie shown in the U.K. when Death Proof hits theatres this September. For
Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror...
Meanwhile, the Robert Rodriguez zombie entry, Planet Terror, will attack with more footage, deleted scenes, a full commentary and the infamous missing reel. That disc will drop on October 16, 2007 for a price of $29.95 and its features will include: Audio Commentary with Writer/Director Robert Rodriguez International trailer Deleted Scenes Cooking School 10-Minute Film School The Stunts The Make-up and Effects The Badass Babes The Renegade Guys The Costumes The Production Design
And what about the fake trailers? Have those been lost forever? This is a joke of a release quite frankly. I'm disgusted that they aren't releasing the whole GRINDHOUSE experience onto DVD with the fake trailers and stuff, and then give people the option to buy them separately with a release like this. Those trailers are too good to not make it onto DVD. Please let their me a better box set on the way.
