Grindhouse: Trailers, real and fake

March 14, 2007 · by sudhishkamath

That was the official trailer for Quentin Tarantino-Robert Rodriguez’s double-feature releasing in the US in less than a month. I’ve never wanted to visit America but for this!

What’s also interesting is that there are plenty of fake trailers doing the rounds on Youtube. Apparently, there was a contest where people could send in their own fake trailers of Grindhouse movies.

The idea is really cool.

I heard Sagaro and Co are organising the Rooftop Film Festival. How about getting participants to make and bring their own fake grindhouse trailers? Of course, our own desi versions… Remember Ramsay Brothers? You don’t need a huge budget to make trailers of films like that. I can give you guys my handycam (provided you guys take full responsibility and return it safe) and I’m sure you can shoot in haunted graveyards, with tomato ketchup for blood and chicken curry for gore.

Anybody game? 😀

    Are you sure abt the fake trailers part?? coz according to Tarantino and Rodriguez, Grindhouse will be a back to back movie, complete with fake trailers. IMDB also gives info abt fake trailers and the persons who have directed them.

    Manjax:
    Thanks for the link.

    Ganesh:
    I’m not talking about the official fake trailers directed by Eli Roth and Rob Zombie. Im talking about the fake trailers submitted for the contest organised by the producers.
    Check that youtube link in the story. It will show you plenty of trailers which are not the “fake trailers” from the movie. They are fake trailers shot for the contest.
    I’m not asking people to shoot for that contest. I just think it’s a good exercise to shoot our own grindhouse trailers because our C-grade films have their own distinct flavour.
