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!!!
