The spirit of exploitation lives on
Solace in Cinema have a copy of the latest Grindhouse poster online which, given how close we are to the film’s release is probably going to be (or be very close to) the final version.
They have also tipped up the news that The Weinstein company will be splitting up the film into two pieces in foreign territories. The official excuse for this, according to Variety, is:
[M]ost non-English-speaking territories have little tradition of a grindhouse double bill. So the central conceit of the film — two short exploitation films, separated by faux trailers for upcoming cheapies — would be lost.
Riiiight. So it’s nothing to do with trying to make people pay twice for one film. It’s not like Tarantino and the Weinsteins have ever pulled this stunt before (*cough* Kill Bill *cough*), is it?
The poster is after the jump and the Tarantino Archives have started an online petition.
