Rose McGowan boards WOMEN IN CHAINS for Robert Rodriguez!
New exploitative Grindhouse 70's style prison drama is shipped around networks.
Spending the best part of the last 12 months trying to get his remake of Barbarella off the ground with his fiance Rose McGowan, director Robert Rodriguez may have found another project that the Planet Terror duo can work on. It's a t.v. show titled WOMAN IN CHAINS and will be as exploitative and provocative as the title suggests...
McGowan will only be one of five females in chains, in the show which according to AICN contains "Sadistic Guards, Cafeteria Hosedowns, Mud Wrestling, and Violent Vendettas" and is once again set in the 1970' s and is a homage to a Grindhouse style of cinema. The show was conceived by Joshua Miller and M.A. Fortin and is being shopped around various networks. HBO recently picked up a deal to do an American remake of the British prison drama Bad Girls... this should drum up the same kind of interest even if it's a little more out there. Interesting and hell I'd see anything that has Rose McGowan in chains but when is Rodriguez going to return to being interesting again... and maybe follow-up his Sin City?
