Quentin Tarantino to remake 'Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!'
One of the great cult explotation films (featuring women, too!) is set to be remade in the future by Quentin Tarantino. Though it's just a desire on his part, Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is one of Tarantino's favorite films and he wants Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian, and Eva Mendes to star in it. Will it happen?
Seriously, I was pretty stoked for this until I saw the preliminary cast desires Tarantino wants. I understand the entire idea of the film is to make it exploitative trash, but Britney Spears? Who knows if she'll even be alive by the time Tarantino wants to make the film?
Ok, low blow. I'll move on.
There's a part of me that really does love Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! for it's boldness to include powerful women at the helm of the action. In a world where men extrapolate their patriarchal dominance into cinema, it's refreshing to see females in lead roles that kick ass. The sexual power that Varla, Rosie, and Billie use to their advantage is bold. However, by the end of the film, this theme pretty much falls through.
So how do you feel about Tarantino wanting to remake this? I wish he'd make his own movie, but if anyone could remake this, it would probably be him. Or maybe John Waters. If either of you remake it, PLEASE CHANGE THE ENDING.

Also, I'm torn. It's Tarantino, which is great, and I have to admit I'm one of the people who liked at least the look and feel of "Grindhouse." But at the same time, I don't know that I like the remake idea.
I'll need to see more before I make a decision.
I think the concept was really intriguing and like I said, the rougher look of the films was really awesome for me. I think the films were presented in the wrong order (an action zombie movie followed by a slow, plotty piece isn't going to hold most audiences...it should have been Death Proof and then Planet Terror). And I have to love it even if only for the fake trailers in the middle.
And Zoe Bell was so bad ass and adorable at the same time! ♥
I liked the little references like the Pussy Wagon and the Red Apple Ciggarettes in the film, and yes the film was good but i don't know, there was just something about it what I didn't like. Ah I live in the UK and they split the film in two for over here, we got Death Proof first then Planet Terror came out two months after DP.
They only showed Planet Terror in 10 cinemas across the UK for 3 days, Lucky that one of them was like 2 miles away from my house, I Loved it, everything about it made me want to hug Mr Rodriguez
I'm gutted though that Sin City 2 was surposed to be finished by now and they haven't started making it yet, but yays for Machete, i really can't wait for that!
