The good folks over at
Latino Review have a script review for the very exciting
Grindhouse feature
Planet Terror. That's the
Robert Rodriguez portion. Now I've always liked Robert Rodriguez as a guy, and I think he is a hell of a visual director and I admire his multi-tasking skills (he even has a cooking feature on most of his dvds telling us how to make cook some kickass food!) but I've always wanted him to SLOW THE FUCK DOWN! He rushes through his movies at a lightening pace, learn from your buddy Tarantino and try to keep your film going at a steady pace. I also think he isn't the greatest writer around, and as Latino Review points out he is way better dealing with someone's elses script, ala
Sin City. So what's the Rodriguez written Planet Terror script turned out like? Well let's find out...
"Wow! It is that fucking good. Hence, why I gave it an A+ because it is a complete miracle. There is a structure, there is a character arc, there is some setup/payoff action going on with the dialogue. The writing is super clean and lean and it is a good story that's well told". "Think of Planet Terror as the Bastard child of 28 Days Later and From Dusk Till Dawn. If you love both them flicks like I do, then Planet Terror is certainly for you". "PLANET TERROR IS SUCH A HOT SCRIPT THAT KICKS ASS ON SO MANY LEVELS THAT IT WILL OWN YOU COME APRIL"! You can read the whole review of the script by
clicking here, but there isn't really much else of interest unless you want a play-by-play commentary of the first act. I must say, everything we have seen of Rodriguez's flick so far just looks "stupid" and uninteresting but we shall soon see. One more Grindhouse tidbit.
