The film, which is planned for a spring 2006 release, 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 programming genre pics back to back. An aficionado of grindhouse, Tarantino sampled grindhouse genres in his recent “Kill Bill” films. He said “Grind House” could be the first in a series of films. In a statement, the Weinsteins said, “We couldn’t imagine anything more exciting than a film being made together by the two godfathers of our companies, Quentin and Robert.” (Gregg Kilday)"

The next thing Quentin is shooting will be here in Austin, Texas with his buddy Robert Rodriguez and it’s called GRIND HOUSE. [… ]I got to chat with Rodriguez about GRIND HOUSE quite a bit and this is really going to be a hardcore geekgasm of a flick. First - They’ll be getting very cool directors to create GrindHouse style trailers for fictional films to put between and before the film. As to who goes first? It seems that in California - Quentin’s hour will play first… In Texas - Robert’s hour will play first… and everywhere else - it’ll be projectionists’ discretion. Same with the order of the trailers before and between the “featured attractions”. They will be shot digitally - but in post - they’ll be made to have that flawed dirty, nappy - film stock changing at the “reel breaks” faded, pink, saturated 70’s film look. Sometimes there’ll be a “bad splice” to purposefully cause a missing piece of dialogue. In otherwords… it’ll be exactly like a GRIND HOUSE experience… only without the piss on the floor and rats residing in old discarded popcorn buckets in the theater. As for this BEVERLY HILLS COP 4 thing… nothing really to it.

[i]Speaking to MTV News, Tarantino explained: ‘His [Rodriguez’] movie is called ‘Planet Terror’ and mine is called ‘Death Proof’. Mine is sort of a slasher film, but instead of a knife, it’s a car. ‘He’s dealing with zombies and all that stuff. I think his might end up being more violent, but I’m not finished with my [script] yet, so you never know.’[i] and on the trailers: That’s one of the things we’re looking the most forward to, shooting the phoney trailers that will play in-between the movies. I’m working on my blaxploitation trailer, and possibly a kung fu trailer, a sexploitation trailer, a spaghetti western trailer… I just need to kind of work them out a little bit.'

Wow, haven’t posted here in a real long time. Anyway, good to be back. I come bringing some sweet Grindhouse info-
They’re making a SICK ASS 250-page book detailing the production, and also including an in-depth look at grindhouse films of the past. Looks like it’s going to be an awesome companion piece to what will no doubt be an awesome movie.

This has already been posted, but thanx anyways. Welcome back. 
did we mention Nicky Katt and Josh Brolin are in the film? read that on the grind house forum
“Nicky Katt will be playing the part of a patient and Josh Brolin will be playing the part of a doctor. So we know some hospital scenes are being filmed.” - source
also, the zombies are called "sicko"s (same source and: CHUD.com)
just to catch up on that, might’ve been mentioned already
KNB FX will of course do the effects on both halves
IMDB also lists Lawrence Bender as being one of the producers. I thought him and QT parted ways?
never trust the imdb
Rose McGowan is in both still, right?
