    Presents QUENTIN TARANTINO’S DEATH PROOF Only at the Grindhouse Final Production Notes as of 5/15/07 International Press Contacts: PREMIER PR (CANNES FILM FESTIVAL) THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY Matthew Sanders / Emma Robinson Jill DiRaffaele Villa Ste Hélène 5700 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 600 45, Bd d’Alsace Los Angeles, CA 90036 06400 Cannes Tel: 323 207 3092 Tel: +33 493 99 03 02 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] From the longtime collaborators (FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, FOUR ROOMS, SIN CITY), two of the most renowned filmmakers this summer present two original, complete grindhouse films packed to the gills with guns and guts. Quentin Tarantino’s DEATH PROOF is a white knuckle ride behind the wheel of a psycho serial killer’s roving, revving, racing death machine. Robert Rodriguez’s PLANET TERROR is a heart-pounding trip to a town ravaged by a mysterious plague. Inspired by the unique distribution of independent horror classics of the sixties and seventies, these are two shockingly bold features replete with missing reels and plenty of exploitative mayhem. The impetus for grindhouse films began in the US during a time before the multiplex and state-of- the-art home theaters ruled the movie-going experience. The origins of the term “Grindhouse” are fuzzy: some cite the types of films shown (as in “Bump-and-Grind”) in run down former movie palaces; others point to a method of presentation -- movies were “grinded out” in ancient projectors one after another. Frequently, the movies were grouped by exploitation subgenre. Splatter, slasher, sexploitation, blaxploitation, cannibal and mondo movies would be grouped together and shown with graphic trailers.

Rhymes and Linkin Park recently collaborated on “We Made It,” the first single and video from Rhymes’ upcoming album, Blessed. By touring together, Linkin Park & Busta are taking a cue from the chorus of their song: “…we took it on the road…”. As recently pointed out in Rolling Stone’s “Summer Tour Guide,” the tour will see nine acts joining rock superstars Linkin Park, who are also offering concertgoers a digital souvenir pack that includes a recording of the band’s entire set. As the band’s co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda told the magazine, “That puts extra pressure on us to make sure our set is different every night.” The fifth installation of Linkin Park’s raging road show will see them headlining an all-star bill that features former Soundgarden/Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell, electro-rockers The Bravery and Ashes Divide featuring Billy Howerdel, known for his work with A Perfect Circle.

In order to do so, it explores and explains Tarantino’s mixture of genres, influences, and filmmaking styles in which he places the South and its inhabitants into current trends in southern studies which aim to examine the South as a place that is defined by cultural reproductions, lacking authenticity, and cultural distinctiveness. Like Godard before him, Tarantino’s movies are commentaries on film history itself. In short, Tarantino’s films actively reimagine the South and southerners in a way that is not nostalgic for a “southern way of life,” nor meant to exploit lower class whites.

  • Romanov Thesis.Pdf
    INTRODUCTION Quentin Tarantino is a writer and director of films widely known for his nonlinear storylines, pert dialogue, excessive violence, and 60s and 70s era music scores. Tarantino has an impressive knowledge of television, movies, and film history and deeply admires exploitation films, Hong Kong action cinema and Spaghetti Westerns. His films often duplicate and incorporate the themes, style and music of a wide assortment of film genres. Tarantino got his start in film while employed as a video store clerk. In 1987, he wrote the script for True Romance and sold it in 1992, followed by the sale of another script entitled Natural Born Killers. This eventually led to Reservoir Dogs (1992), the first film he wrote and directed, followed by Pulp Fiction (1994), Jackie Brown (1997), Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003), and Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004). In all of the films written and directed by Tarantino, the soundtrack music plays an integral role. As he states, “The thing I’m coming from is listening to music to be the guide to a movie” (Miklitsch, 289). The music he uses as his guide shares several common characteristics: “It is old and it is referential to distinct musical, film or media genres” (Garner, 192). Tarantino uses this music to connect his audience to the physical and emotional sensations of the characters in his films. If the audience is connected, then they will understand the emotions associated with the character or be intrigued by the juxtaposition of the aural and visual elements in the scene. Therefore, as Frith generally states, music “becomes our teacher, making sure we got the film’s emotional message” (79).

You gotta look like you just came back from killing a buffalo! Thomas Builds- But our tribe never hunted buffalo—we were fishermen. the-Fire: Victor Joseph: What!

Smoke Signals (1998) Furious Styles: Why is it that there is a gun shop on almost every corner in this community? The Old Man: Why? Furious Styles: I’ll tell you why. For the same reason that there is a liquor store on almost every corner in the black community. Why? They want us to kill ourselves. Boyz n the Hood (1991) he history of race and ethnicity in Hollywood films reflects the racial and ethnic inequalities of American society. In the early 20th century, movies Twere created and exhibited to Eastern European immigrants to encourage assimilation. Whiteness was a status to be achieved, a way of life to emulate, with homogeneity as the goal, at least for immigrants from Europe. However, the por- trayal of most nondominant groups in American film was the story of the “objec- tified Other” (Collins, 2000), created and controlled through practices of exclusion, expulsion, and violence. 65 66 CINEMATIC SOCIOLOGY In 1915, D. W. Griffith made history with the first blockbuster film, The Birth of a Nation.

    TRUE ROMANCE by Quentin Tarantino August 1992 Early Draft FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY When you're tired of relationships, try a romance. "His films are a desperate cry from the heart of a grotesque fast food culture." -French critics on the films of Roger Corman. "... Beyond all the naivete and stupidity, beyond the vulgarity inherent in the amount of money involved, beyond all this, a certain grandeur had rooted itself into the scheme, and I could still spy a reckless and artistic splendor to the way we had carried it out." -Clifford Irving on the Howard Hughes hoax. TRUE ROMANCE FADE IN: DETROIT SKYLINE - TWILIGHT MONOTONE BEGIN MAIN TITLES. Gotham city in deep winter. PERCY SLEDGE hammers out, "When A Man Loves A Woman." Dark, overcast, snow-filled skies shroud big black monoliths set in wastelands of a post holocaust city -- occasional car headlights dissect the blackness. SERIES OF SHOTS Ansel Adams type city scapes, the CAMERA MOVES INTO the darkness of the vertical monoliths TO FIND occasional human creatures comforting themselves around open fires. Glimpsed, cracked lips and frightened eyes assault the CAMERA THROUGH a haze of cold breath. A dark planet resembling the pupil of an eye reflects an open fire. Red veins dissect the gray, white void around the planet. It blinks -- it is an eye. END OF TITLES. SCREEN TO BLACK: FADE IN: EXT. CADILLAC BAR - TWILIGHT Gotham city rises up in the b.g. INT.
