The Grindhouse rolls on
Quentin Tarantino has signed Kurt Russell to star as Stunt Man Mike in Tarantino’s Half of ‘Grindhouse’ called ‘Death Proof‘.
Mickey Rourke was originally envisaged for the role but for reasons unknown (atleast to me) he did not show up for production. In addition to Russell and Rose McGowan, Tarantino’s half of “Grindhouse” also will star Zoe Bell, Rosario Dawson, Vanessa Ferlito, Jordan Ladd, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Marley Shelton, Tracie Thoms and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Robert Rodriguez’s half of the double-featured film, called ‘Planet Terror‘, will include Freddy Rodriguez, McGowan, Josh Brolin, Naveen Andrews, Shelton, Michael Biehn, Stacy Ferguson, Jeff Fahey and Michael Parks.
