The Weinstein Co., Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez are gearing up for the film GRIND.

Tarantino and Rodriguez will each direct a 60-minute horror story. Rodriguez will shoot his in Austin, Texas. His story is called PLANET TERROR -- it's a zombie movie. Tarantino will direct DEATH PROOF, a slasher tale.

In addition, there will be faux trailers and ads that run during the intermission between the two parts. Some of the possibilities include a blaxploitation pic and a kung-fu movie.

The entire project will be shot in the tradition of the '70s exploitation films that influenced both directors.
