Quentin Tarantino has begun production on "Death Proof", his half of a double-billed drive-in homage picture entitled "Grind House", which Tarantino is co-directing with Robert Rodriguez. Today, Script Zone has posted a review of the script and here's a sample:
"he script, like all of Tarantino's work, is seeping with intertextuality and a strong thrust towards turning genre conventions on their head. Moving away from his three favorite genres (noir, revenge, and kung-fu), Tarantino takes on a variation of the road/horror film a la The Hitcher or Duel. However, the results, on paper, are mixed.
The basic plot follows a trio of young girls (Jungle Julia, Arlene, and Shanna) as they spend their night bar hopping, going after and teasing boys, and getting trashed. Meanwhile, a muscle car driving stuntman named Mike (Mickey Rouke is rumored to be in the role) with a unique sexual fetish stalks the girls and, ultimately, uses his car to terrorize them".
