Naveen Andrews stars in Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’ neo-retro double feature Grindhouse, which tries to recreate the feel of a ’70s exploitation theater, albeit with 20 times the budget (via Angry Asian Man). The movie is split into two features, ‘Planet Terror’ and ‘Death Proof,’ separated by fake movie trailers which sound hilarious:

… fake trailers will be shot for a blaxploitation film, a kung fu film, a sexploitation movie and a Spaghetti Western film. Tarantino confirmed that he will be directing the trailer for the sexploitation “film” Cowgirls in Sweden. In an interview with Danny Trejo, the actor said that he will be in a fake trailer for a movie called They Call Him Machete… Rob Zombie is shooting a faux trailer called Werewolf Women Of The S.S. [featuring] Nicolas Cage playing Fu Manchu. [Link]

I love this touch:

Planet Terror is going to have a missing reel, so it will jump from one point in the story to about twenty minutes later, leaving the audience to fill in the story for themselves. [Link]

“Death Proof” and “Planet Terror” will be released separately worldwide except [in the] U.S. and some other countries. [Link]

Andrews will be in Rodriguez’ zombie flick ‘Planet Terror,’ which features Marilyn Manson’s ex with a machine gun leg, like the chainsaw arm in Army of Darkness. Steve Arshad has a bit part as a henchman. The trailer is utterly, butterly schlocktastic:

Andrews will also star in The Brave One with Jodie Foster next year.
