The nice people at TWC just sent us some pictures from Grindhouse that you may be interested in. These aren't exclusive releases, but I personally hadn't seen a few of them yet, including this one I'm putting up top, of Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas peering into who-knows-what with a flashlight. There's also a nice image in there somewhere of Tom Savini, reprising that crazy-eyed look that he did so well in the last major Quentin Tarantino-Robert Rodriguez joint collaboration, From Dusk Till Dawn. There's also a shot of Marley Shelton looking completely drugged-out, in the company of some other women, and that picture of Rose McGowan as a bottle-blonde, that I've seen around a few places. The film, which I'm betting will rake in as much as some of the big summer fare this year like the next Die Hard installment, opens in theaters nationwide on April 6. To see the full-sized version of these pics, most of which are after the jump, just click on the image.

Is it just me or does it look like Rodriguez is playing around with the whole "dirty" celluloid trick a bit more than Tarantino?

Seeing as how Rodriguez shot and edited both halves, I don't expect textural consistency will be an issue.

I think the intent of the "dirty" celluloid on both the trailer and the pics here is more of a tip of the hat to the grindhouse cinema flicks of the past. The pics are supposed to replicate the old lobby stills that used to be posted in the theater lobby as an attempt to promote the films. The same for the trailers. These stills look like they could have been buried in a back room somewhere for the past couple of decades just waiting for someone to dig them out. Same thing for the trailer. Boy, they just don't make 'em the way that they used to!
I am completely fired up about this film. Everything I've seen so far has been so well done and really captures the flavor and feel of those old '70s films. One thing I've come to really appreciate seeing so many films at the Alamo Drafthouse is all the old stuff that they run as part of the "pre-show entertainment". The trailers for Grindhouse fit right in with the other stuff from that era - just like they planned for them to. QT has such a great eye for detail (as does RR). April can't get here soon enough for me!
