Whoa! Aussie John Jarratt in GRINDHOUSE! Is this before or after he fights a giant croc?
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with some great news for fans of John Jarratt (and if you've seen WOLF CREEK then you MUST be a fan of his). It seems that he did an interview where he said he will be in Tarantino's segment of GRINDHOUSE (which is supposedly in the slasher genre) and ABC Radio has been running it.
This will be no surprise to the 200 or so people who sat in the Alamo Drafthouse last month during Australia Night when Tarantino pulled out his pristine print of DARK AGE. This giant croc movie was one of the highlights of the fest and there was much adoration of Jarratt shown by both Quentin and his audience.
Jarratt is also making waves right now in the horror community for being the heavy in the Aussie horror indie WOLF CREEK. It's been reported that he's going to be making an appearance in the director's follow-up to WOLF CREEK called ROGUE. It has a giant croc in it, too, so if he didn't cast Jarratt in the movie then he'd deserve a kick in the nuts, I say.
Oh, and before I leave you folks to discuss this development below, Jarratt also mentioned that he may be in for a role in Tarantino's long in the running INGLORIOUS BASTARDS!!! I can't wait for Tarantino to do that, just to see what his cast is going to be. The hardest of the hardasses in a Tarantino war movie... Sounds like a good time to me! Now, discuss!!!

The original was only 100 minutes? What will the extra hour and change be?
-
and Inglorious Bastards for that matter.
-
I kinda wonder if it'll ever get made, but I'm super excited at the possibilities. Everything sounds awesome.
PS Kong is mentioned in like every post but this one, and you try starting a conversation about it... BASTARD! <3 4evaz. -
After QT6, and seeing Wolf Creek, I said to my brother "Hey, I wonder if John Jarret will show up in Grindhouse or something. Tarantino sure does have a hard-on for him."
Thus proving that I am cool, and posses powers of premonition. -
John Jarret does KICK ASS. DARK AGE and WOLF CREEK. The roles are so fucking different and he is so fucking good in both. Thus proving that Tarantino is cooler than all of us for finding him, and letting us know about him.

Damned if I've seen a John Jarratt movie, but allow me to join the chorus of praise and say that I look forward to being introduced to someone whom I've no doubt will be an exceptional hardass.
-
I thought it should be me this time.

...the Vega Brothers of the new Millennium. Fan: "Hey, QT...whatever happened to that cool movie you were going to make with Travolta and Madsen?" QT: "SNORRRRRT! What?" Fan: "Never mind, dude."

He was great in everything he did. I also realized that he's one of the only actors to have said a curse word in the Batman movies. How cool is that? Bill, thanks for your contributions to these memorable films...we will miss you.

Sorry about that - will go over to the William Hootkins page.

John who?

Look up the QT6 reports from Australia night for info on John Jarratt and his flick, DARK AGE. Matter of fact, Quint links to one such article above.
-
Over here in Australia, John Jarratt didn't even get nominated for an AFI Best Actor award. Are we stoopid or wot!!!
-
And while I'm on the subject ... no nom for Scott Ryan??? Best Aussie acting EVER. If you guys overseas ever get his movie The Magician, go see. And David Wenham rocked in The Proposition. But tell the AFIs that.

Personally I don't think we can top Russell Mulcahy's Giant Pig film.......then again, I do have a hankering to see a film about Giant Yabbies.......or how about Giant Platypuses (Platypi?) roaming the urban waterways after being flushed down toilets jabbing people with their poisonous spurs.......hey, gotta be better than the dodgy crap we actually do make over here!
