[QUOTE="succubus:602436"]I never said that Tarantino stole our story. Death Proof and Grindhouse (’03), to my knowledge, have no shared story threads or scenes. Our whole point in this exercise was to call out someone who we believed ran with the concept. Tarantino talks a lot, a lot, about what he intends to make. Inglorious Bastards. The Vega Brothers Movie. More Kill Bills in both live action and animated form. I don’t believe I ever read anything before 2004 about wanting to do a Grindhouse feature. Nor a double feature. Nor a movie about a killer with a fast car. To all those calling out the “copyright the title” claim, that was meant to be taken into consideration for what the copyright was for. It was for the screenplay. The entire reason behind that claim was validate the date for the start of production for our film, so it wasn’t just a claim of “I asked Quentin to make my movie at party.” It was, we made the movie, we tried to protect it (through the writers guild and the copyright office) for our future, and still lost out. On a side note, ironically, I just found out Quentin made this same claim against the producers of Casino Royal for “stealing his take on the material.” He just wanted a shout out from them of being the guy that came with the concept of returning Bond to his down and dirty roots. I guess that’s the best way to sum up our complaint. Thanks, Quentin. Our movie will not stand up to the Weinstein’s 60 million dollar extravaganza. We made the fuckin thing for $4,000 on weekends with whatever we could scratch up. It was a starter film, at best to be something to show we could make a feature. It was meant to be sloppy, to be watched drunk or stoned, to enjoy as…well…a low budget Grindhouse movie. What people don’t realize is that this isn’t about money. This isn’t about getting our film “out there.” Trust me, we never thought this film, in this version, was going to be a launch. We hoped that someone would see it and maybe give us more money to remake it with a decent budget. This is about standing up for yourself. This man has a history of outright stealing shit and it’s time for someone to just call him out on it and not waiver. And those who are so offended that I would have the audacity to call out Tarantino on such flimsy evidence, I say I really don’t care. A thief is a thief, famous or no. I don’t believe anyone in the history of Hollywood has successfully proved theft of ideas. So, I didn’t honestly expect this to go any better. That being said, unless you’re completely uneducated about his career history, he is known for being a complete thief who writes great dialogue. But stop stealing shit, calling it referential, putting good music to it, and making everybody worship you for it. As for the claim that we’re doing this to drive sales for our film, to “piggyback off the success of Grindhouse (07).” it simply isn’t true. We’re not getting rich off 99 cent downloads, trust me. Lenny and I have decided that stay true to what we’re trying to do here, for everyone who buys a copy of our Grindhouse, we’re donating the money to an independent film fund. The couple of hundred bucks we make from downloads will pay for some future indie’s catering. Who will receive the money will be posted tomorrow. I posted this at a blog the other day, but it essentially is our review for the film from Film Threat. It by no means is a glowing review, but I think it understands what we were trying to accomplish with limited means: http://www.filmthreat.com/index.php?section=reviews&Id=5591 [/QUOTE]
