Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Getting Tarantino Treatment?
In other news, Liz Smith's liquor cabinet might be empty.
This probably falls under the "too perfect to actually ever come close to being true" column, but what if -- what if, people -- Quentin Tarantino wanted to remake Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!?
According to gossip columnist Liz Smith, Tarantino is indeed "hot to remake" Russ Meyer's "campy soft-porn classic" -- and what's more, he's already picked his dream cast, which would consist of...drumroll, please...Kim Kardashian, Eva Mendes, and Britney Spears.
Do not adjust your monitors. We are not experiencing technical difficulties. This is an actual rumor.
Of the putative trio, only Kardashian would seem to possess the requisite Meyerian, um, assets -- something Smith alludes to when she suggests that perhaps Lindsay Lohan might be better suited to a Pussycat remake, saying, "Lindsay could become Quentin's new muse. Look what he did for Uma Thurman."
There's no way this will ever come to pass -- at least not with Tarantino's supposed starring wishlist -- but if it somehow did? Oh, man. Who could resist? Not us, and certainly not you. We don't care what you say.

on Jan 18 2008 06:44 AM no way this will ever happen...at least not with that cast. he's gotta be ki dding. my dream trio of stripper/sociopaths would be rosario dawson, sheri moon zombie and adult film star mya luanna. (Reply to this) |
on Jan 18 2008 06:55 AM I'm down with Kardashian, Lindsay and Roselyn Sanchez because Eva won't go for it. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 18 2008 06:56 AM Hmm, what IF Tarantino remade Faster Pussycat....? Well, he'd take a gloriously campy exploitation film and turn it into a pile of steaming ****. That's what. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 18 2008 07:07 AM Meh. Too much like Death Proof (which was an awesome movie.) The mere mention of Britney Spears makes me sincerely doubt the rumor. I know Tarantino has a reputation for reviving the careers of Hollywood stars...but they had to have had some talent in the first place. I want Tarantino to get on with making Inglorious Bastards, his 'Dirty Dozen'-esque war movie. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 18 2008 07:11 AM nay, this shan't happen. 'death proof' is proof enough that this movie should not get made (or remade). it was quentin jerking off into his screenplay (figuratively), thinking how great it was going to be to get 8 hot chicks and then make them say his audacious lines. It made him seem like a creepy-old-man puppetmaster or something, getting to handpick his favorite young acrtresses and make them do his bidding. Far less classy than the sexual distance he kept from the bride in both kill bills. stop creating excuses for yourself and make 'Ingrlorious Bastards' to prove that you've still got the chops, Tarantino. That's what you need, a war movie with no broads to write smarmy dialogue for. how bout it? (Reply to this) |

on Jan 18 2008 08:34 AM God, I wish Tarantino would stop directing with his crotch. I'm sick of it. He's so much better than this. (Reply to this) |
on Jan 18 2008 08:37 AM Let's see; Tarantino directing Britney Spears? Riiiiggggghhhttt .... (Reply to this) |

on Jan 18 2008 08:48 AM The original wasn't soft porn in any way. It was just a B-movie with some sexual overtones, but nothing explicit. Also, those 3 ladies would be terrible choices in almost every way. If you thought the acting was bad in the original, just wait till you see these bimbos on camera. And what about Rose McGowan? Hello? (Reply to this) |
on Jan 18 2008 08:58 AM Quentin is a god. And this would just be incredible. That being said, Death Proof/Grindhouse was one of my favorite films of the year, so I'm certainly biased. Go watch the original at least. Its a pure exploitation, B-movie classic. And QT is obviously very passionate about this type of film making, so I believe his adaptation would be phenomenal. The cast list? I find it hilariously amazing, but Eva would never go for this. But, he really should just hurry up and work on finalizing Inglorious Bastards before planning anything new. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 18 2008 09:24 AM Hey, does anyone remember that movie called "Inglorious Bastards" that QT was supposed to make but never did because it was too epic and so he just kept making quick, easy exploitation flicks? I love ya QT, but come on. (Reply to this) |
on Jan 18 2008 09:27 AM I have to say, if there waws going to be a remake (this is the only movie poster I have in my house - Tura Satana just makes me laugh whenever I look at her)the Tarantino is the only director I would trust to do it a way that would be at all interesting. I'm with him on this, and even on casting pop culture hags. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 18 2008 09:32 AM As much as I love Quentin, this sounds horrible. I hope this is a rumor, as Spears would ruin any project she is involved in. Kardashian has the assets to work, but probably can't act and Eva wouldn't do it. I like the Lohan idea, and Rosario Dawson probably has nothing else better to do. Then he could ask Robert Rodriguez to borrow Rose McGowan and then he has a cast that would not only make sense, but would be desperate enough to do it as well. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 18 2008 01:44 PM 3 good things about this (if true): 1. It could finally lead to a release of the original on DVD along with other vintage Russ Meyer titles. 2. It can't possibly be any worse than Death Proof...or can it? 3. Okay, I lied: I only had 2 good things to say. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 18 2008 08:23 PM no one turns down a tarantino flick, menes will accept, she'd be crazy not 2 and as for the other 2 they r def shoe-in's (Reply to this) |
on Jan 18 2008 11:21 PM he's great but he wouldn't be able to top the campyness of the original --- and if he does do it, all I ask is that he stays behind the camera ... I still cringe thinking of his scenes in Planet Terror. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 19 2008 04:36 AM i agree with the opinion that qt shuld ditch his b-movie obsession and his libido overdrive and make sum actual movies .. bring bk a few more reservoir dogs/pulp fiction's and kill bills if i may say ... qt is awesum.. (Reply to this) |
|
on Jan 19 2008 08:25 AM JUST MAKE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS FOR GOD SAKE!!! QT is the man tho, so i'm down. (Reply to this) |
