Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino will still produce a Grindhouse spin-off–despite the film’s poor performance at the U.S. box office.
The double-bill movie has been spilt into two separate films for its international release – Tarantino‘s Death Proof and Rodriguez‘s Planet Terror–in a bid to impress European audiences after its disappointing showing in the US.
However, the movie’s bosses Bob and Harvey Weinstein have refused to give up on Grindhouse–a violent mock trailer which featured in between the two movies, called Machete, will be made into another feature film, according to its star Danny Trejo.
He tells Moviehole.com, “That’s the big one. We’re going to do Machete next, and Bob and Harvey Weinstein have already said, ‘Yeah, we’re gotta do it.’
“They’re going to make it a movie – because of the audience response.”
