Scott Pilgrim director Edgar Wright had recently tweeted about his involvement in a commentary for Don’t, the little seen spoof/fake trailer that was shown between double bill screenings of Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof and Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror.
One of the outstanding features of the whole Grindhouse experience was the fake trailers, and with titles like Hobo with a Shotgun and Werewolf Women of the SS they actually looked like they would make better movies than the slightly flawed Death Proof.
In fact, two trailers, Machete and Hobo with a Shotgun, have made the leap from trailer to feature with the Danny Trejo starring feature hitting screens later this year, and Rutger Hauer grabbing his shotgun and filming now.
Our good friends over at Bleeding Cool are reporting that Amazon, in the US at least, are listing a release for the whole Grindhouse experience on Blu-Ray in October, for the tiny sum of $13.99.
It may be worth noting that Amazon also listed Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair in a similar fashion, which didn’t finally emerge, but with Wright recording commentary it looks like this could be the real deal.
With only a few limited screenings as Grindhouse in the UK, many people will have not seen these films and trailers as the directors intended and I’m hoping we get this Blu-Ray package confirmed here soon.
