The Scoop on the Grindhouse DVD

If you missed the Grindhouse double-feature at theaters, featuring Planet Terror and Death Proof, you’ll still have the chance to view them on DVD. But unfortunately, if you were hoping to snag them as a box-set, you might have to wait a lot longer. According to Davis DVD, both Grindhouse films will be released on DVD, but seperately. Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof will be the first of the pair to hit DVD, arriving September 18th through Genius Entertainment and The Weinstein Co.

I guess it can’t come as too much of a surprise that they would seperate the two films. But I do think that in time, they will release a special edition DVD collector set so real fans of the films can get the full theater experience. It would make sense for several reasons, with the most important reason to the studios being that it would help maximize sales.

    A special edition box set would make sense, but then we’ve been promised a Kill Bill special edition box set with the film treated as one long movie (the cut shown in Cannes in 2004), and where the hell is that? Miramax and QT are all talk and little delivery these days

    I wonder which DVD will contain the trailers. Will they be split up? On both?

  3. Quigs Says:

    works for me, All I want is deathproof.

    What a crock of sh*t. The studio is just trying to milk this baby for all its worth. They’ll make more on 2 seperate DVD & wtf is up with the trailers? Screw them

    so what if the film tanked?
    it was poorly marketed and as soon as people saw rose mcgowan with a gun for a leg they totally thought the movie was shite and balked. Couldnt the weinsteins have learned from the dvd cult status of films like fight club, that did poorly in theaters and then went on to have phenomenal dvd sales?
    jesus christ

    This is fucking bullshit, they are getting rid of the trailers and thats dumb as hell. This isn’t two movies, it’s one, its Grindhouse. This is bullshit and i dont want to have to wait for a collectors edition. FUCK YOU HOLLYWOOD

  8. Dave Says:

    Peter - from what I have read, neither DVD contains the trailers. If this is true it really sucks.

    why didnt the dvd movies come with all the fake previews that they showed in the theater. I wanted that to be on the dvd more than anything but they f#$@ed us i bought both movies hoping for all of the weinstien previews but i all i got was one Machete thats kool but i wanted all of them. all i need now is for them to put out a dvd version of both the movies in one exactly how it played in theaters so i have to buy that next that would be fucked my bootleg has all of them but i wanted the real dvd thats f@#&ed up n e one feel the same

    Just picked up Planet Terror today and Rodriguez mentions the upcoming Grindhouse Double Feature DVD.

    What happened to the “fake trailers?” I was extremely disappointed not to have those in their. It was part of the movie and I think they robbed it of it’s authenticity. They should have left the movie exactly as the way it was in theaters.

    I missed the film at the theater and now I suppose I won’t be getting a chance to see it in its original format! That’s what bugs me. I know Tarantino and Rodriguez put the two films together for a purpose and anyone who didn’t see it in theaters won’t get the full experience. I’ve always been a fan of Tarantino’s but after this I’m beginning to think that he is not very concerned about his fans anymore.

    Saw the double bill as meant to be seen at the Prince Charles last saturday. It was introduced by director Edgar Wright ( he directed one of the trailers) he mention that it would be getting a proper DVD release next month.

  15. tomogrady Says:

    regards the way “it was in the theatres” it only had limited viewings in that format, the reaction from inital audiences was so negaitive, the movie companies panicked. its only had two shoings in the UK one at a festival in glasgow and the other at the Prince Charles.
