This has been a long, long, long time coming! Those of us who are fans of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez‘ Grindhouse films have been waiting since the formats inception to finally get our dirty mitts on an Ultimate Collector’s Boxed set of both films and the trailers that originally screened between them during the initial theatrical run. Japan got such a set on DVD a few years back but we, on the other side of the Pacific have had no such luck. Well, it looks like things are finally about to change…
Though there has yet to be an official announcement about such a Blu-ray (or DVD) set, our first clue that this may actually be happening for us came in the form of this tweet from director Edgar Wright,
- “So, get this, tomorrow I am doing a commentary on ‘Don’t’. Some of you will know what that means is finally happening.”
Those of you who are fans of the film, will know that “Don’t” is the name of the short faux-trailer that Wright directed for the Grindhouse project. If he’s recording a commentary track for that film then a new, updated release is clearly imminent. And the studio would be foolish not to take advantage of the legion of fans who’d like to own those films on Blu-ray. I’d put my money on a holiday 2010 release. We’ll let you know if we hear any more rumblings from the Grindhouse…
