Grind in mind; Tarantino and Rodriguez jumpstart Weinsteinco

Outlining the upcoming releases and productions of the tentatively named Weinsteinco, the "godfathers" of Miramax put a quick package together, Gregg Kilday reports in the Reporter: "Tarantino and Rodriguez will each write and direct a 60-minute horror film, and the two films will be packaged under the title Grind House, which is planned for a spring 2006 release through the Weinstein Co. It also will include its own trailers, bonus materials and added extras from other filmmakers that will be packaged together between the two horror flicks in a tribute to the old, big-city movie houses like those on New York's 42nd Street that earned the moniker grindhouses for programing genre pictures back to back."
