Planet Terror is a 2007 feature length film written and directed by Robert Rodriguez, initially as part of Grindhouse, a double feature film collaboration with Quentin Tarantino.
Rodriguez's film, a tribute to "grindhouse cinema" and "B movies," revolves around an outfit of rebels attempting to survive an onslaught of zombie-like creatures as they feud with a military unit.
Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino have added more names to the cast list for their '70s exploitation-style film Grindhouse. Michael Bacall, writer/director/occasional actor Eli Roth, and newcomer Omar Doom have joined the slasher film Death Proof, Tarantino's half of the Grindhouse movie.
Grindhouse is a double feature joined by faux ads and trailers. Tarantino's Death Proof will feature Kurt Russell, Zoe Bell, Rosario Dawson, Vanessa Ferlito, Jordan Ladd, Rose McGowan, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Marley Shelton, Tracie Thoms and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Rodriguez's Planet Terror cast includes Freddy Rodriguez, Rose McGowan, Josh Brolin, Naveen Andrews, Marley Shelton, Michael Biehn, Stacy Ferguson (aka Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas), Jeff Fahey, and Michael Parks.
Grindhouse was released on April 6, 2007, ticket sales performed significantly below box office analysts' expectations despite mostly positive critic reviews. In much of the rest of the world, each feature was released separately, with Death Proof screened in an extended version. Two soundtracks were also released for the features and include music and audio snippets from the film. Death Proof was released separately in international theatrical markets, and on DVD in the United States on September 18, 2007.
