Are there any plans to make the trailers into feature films like “Machete”?
QT: That one for sure. Our whole thing is that we were actually going to let the fans dictate that. “Machete” could genuinely be done grindhouse[-style]. About a half-hour is already put together and [Rodriguez] could expand it and literally show up for just another six or seven days and just wrap it up. That’d be extremely New World Pictures style. SHOCK: How did you choose the directors? QT: What ended up happening is that Robert had done his “Machete” trailer. Edgar Wright and Eli Roth are both friends of ours and they were at my house and said, “Hey, let me show you ‘Machete.'” I even had the lobby cards Robert had made. RR: There was a camera test I was doing and I had shot some of the trailer and lobby cards and a poster to get us really jazzed about the movie and those guys were there. QT: They really got what we were trying to do and they’re really knowledgeable as we are and it just seemed like a perfect fit to come on board. Rob Zombie actually came aboard because of Bob Wein
