I hated that trailer.
Tonally off with the other 3 hours of Grindhouse. It was nothing like a Grindhouse trailer.
Has Zombie never heard of 42nd Street Forever even? Had he ever spoken with Quentin before he signed on?

The Nic Cage thing was also not funny to me. Rather - a fairly obvious stunt-cast joke with an actor who has shown his cards to be fairly bland and confused in an unlikable way.

Seconding the "Nazi Werewolf Women Blahblahblah Sucked Dicks" feedback.

Zombie can do way better than that, and he fucking knows it.

[Andrew Collins]

Can he?
2/3rds of Devil's Rejects being passable out of three films and a shitty trailer is still a big question mark.

[Moltisanti]

It would be a crime if this gets a movie instead of MACHETE. But since Zombie has given the Weinsteins one of their few (financial) successes he'll probably be able to do whatever he wants for a film or two.

[Mr.Eko]

Machete, Thanksgiving, and Don't = YES!

Werewolf Women Of The SS = Eh. I'd probably see it, but he really should do something else. How would this flick even get made anyway? I don't think there's much of a demand for Nazi sexploitation.

[horrid]

This would be a pile of suck, and he's more than used up his excuses to use the same cast over and over.

[BTSMGL]

Yeah, I agree with all the "worst trailer of the bunch" talk.

I honestly was psyched for a C.H.U.D. remake from Zombie. He's 2 to 1 for me, with Halloween (2007) being the only one of his flicks I didn't like. He's still got a shot at winning me over some more.

[Gary Sherman]

Yep, worst trailer. Not that it wasn't amusing in concept, but in execution it was entirely too "modern" and should have been our first warning that Halloween would focus entirely too much on "look who's in this movie!" Still, I think this is a way better move than a remake (of course, I think just about anything would be better than another horror remake right now). And I have enough residual Grindhouse love to be a little interested in this...but I'd rather see any of the other 3 movies first.

[TheCynic]

How do you make a movie out of Don't? It's not a movie, it's a parody of grindhouse trailers. And I'd like to think Edgar Wright has bigger fish to fry.

Thanksgiving, on the other hand... What the fuck else does Eli Roth have to do?

[harrybeanbag]

Can he?
2/3rds of Devil's Rejects being passable out of three films and a shitty trailer is still a big question mark.

That 2/3rds of Devil's Rejects went way better than I expected. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt as long as he doesn't pander to the Hot Topic crowd.

If he ends up pandering, he can eat shit. The horror movieverse is too full of Hot Topic ass-kissers as is.

[Gary Sherman]

Thanksgiving, on the other hand... What the fuck else does Eli Roth have to do?

More trailers, or so he says. What about Cell, is that totally dead?

[BubWilliams]

I think Cell is after Trailer Trash.

[Timothy225]

I really wouldn't mind seeing Werewolf Women (I do agree it was the least of the trailers - Machete and Thanksgiving are the ones I'd rather see first), but I'd rather see the (spaghetti?) western he mentioned doing around the time of House of 1000 Corpses, just as a change of pace, and to see what he can do outside of the horror genre.

[Cervaise]

I would like to see Zombie direct a DTV Disney sequel.

I would like to see Zombie direct a DTV Disney sequel.
Yeah, just imagine the family values he'd bring to that table.

Mickey, drunk off his ass wearing a wifebeater and swilling Jack Daniel's: "Minnie, you stupid corpsefuckin' whore, where's my TV dinner? Maybe when you're done with that you can dust Goofy's crab-coated dick off and then let Pluto have 'im a piece. Haw haw!"

[Jack "Sue" Dnim]

Re: Your question, Rob.

No.

[BillyG]

Wouldn't be terribly excited for it, but it would mean Udo Kier, and more Udo is good.

[DARKMITE8]

I'd sooner watch WW o' SS than his Halloween remake.

[Phil!]

I'd take Machete, but a full-length Thanksgiving would be tedious. Aside from Biehn and the Creepshow score, there was nothing in that trailer that could sustain a 90 minute running time.

Let Zombie do the Sawney Beane adaptation I mentioned in another thread.

[lordelsey]

I would like to see "WEREWOLF WOMEN OF THE SS" but as a highly budgeted fetish porn movie.

[KABONG]

It can't be said enough- WE NEED THAT MACHETE MOVIE.

[MackDaKnife]

I only caught Grindhouse once, and I don't remember the trailers that well (apart from a few brilliant moments), so I can't honestly say I did or didn't enjoy Zombie's contribution. I don't think he should spend any time or money making the film, though. Grindhouse didn't do that well in the first place, and I think if he made the movie it'd get a poor-to-modest opening weekend and then disappear, a la Snakes on a Plane.

I think the trailers in Grindhouse are more valuable just as trailers. It's the idea of the film that's appealing . . . an actual film isn't nearly as interesting. It's sort of like how the video news clips on The Onion's site end . . . they include a lead in to a fictional story at the end of each clip, but never actually provide the corresponding story. The joke works much better that way.

[DARKMITE8]

Grindhouse should be a DTV franchise. Cheap, guerilla, ugly, exploitive... and profitable.

[harrybeanbag]

The only palpable audience reaction I remember from the trailer came from the Genghis Khan cameo, which doesn't bode well for his actual plans on this one.
