Word is that Quentin Tarantino wants Mickey Rourke to star in his new film Grind House. He thinks he'd be perfect for the lead and has been trying to get hold of him. At the same time Tarantino tells us some news about the back to back feature with Robert Rodriguez.

Slightly confusing messages though, I thought we had heard that Rodriguez had cancelled his half of the feature, however over at PR Inside and with Tarantino the news seems different.

Tarantino says, "He's kicking a** and taking names like nobody's business." The director hopes the new project will transport movie fans back to the days when they could see two films back to back at "ghetto theatres." He explains, "(You'd) see an exploitation double feature when they used to come out. So we're (Tarantino and Rodriguez) going to do two horror films and release them together, and set it all up like a real night at the movie theatre.

"All the intermission stuff will be there. Between the movies, we're going to do trailers for exploitation movies that don't exist... It'll be just like going to one of those movie theatres that don't exist anymore."

Interestingly Sean commented on that story that he had a hard time believing it, I thought much the same but mainly because we heard nothing from Tarantino. Now we have, and it's going forward. Perhaps this was just a delay after all? As for Rourke, I'm all in. Get him on screen as much as possible I say.
