The Grindhouse films Death Proof and Planet Terror have been sold for Japanese distribution and Mischa Barton has joined the school girls at St. Trinians.

Death Proof and Planet Terror have just had their Japanese distribution rights bought by Broadmedia Studios, this means that the two films from Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino will now see a Japanese release, and it looks like they will be released as two separate films. The story comes from Variety.

Mischa Barton, formerly of The OC, has joined the cast of the remake of the classic British comedy St. Trinian's. According to Teletext she has joined the British heavy cast of the Ealing comedy remake. Seems an incredibly strange choice for her, and a poor choice of film to remake too.
