I’ve been hearing rumblings about a Tarantino-produced motorcycle movie for most of this year. I had heard that it was given the green-light, which doesn’t always mean it will get made but, lo and behold, this one is a GO.
I absolutely love Tarantino movies and the cast of this movie looks really interesting. I’m excited!
Exerpt from the Hell Ride wiki:
“Hell Ride is a feature film from Larry Bishop being released under the “Quentin Tarantino Presents” banner. The film promises to be a blood and sex-soaked tale of motorcycle revenge and retribution.
Larry Bishop will star as bad-ass biker Pistolero, (named after the original title for Robert Rodriguez’s Desperado) who along with The Gent (Michael Madsen RK: who wouldn’t really have a career if it weren’t for Tarantino) and Comanche (Eric Balfour RK: one of my favorite young actors from Six Feet Under and 24), hit the road to avenge the death of Pistolero’s old lady Cherokee Kisum (Julia Jones), by the 666ers a rival motorcycle gang.
Vinnie Jones (RK: a great character actor recognizable from Guy Ritchie’s movies “Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch”) and the ultimate bike riding legend Dennis Hopper to star as members of the satanic biker gang the 666ers. (RK: of course they’re satanic!)”

Well, QT is only the producer on this movie (just like he was with “Hostel”) but I have to imagine that he’ll have a heavy hand in it. It just sounds like it’s going to be another crazy, violent, exploitation film-and that’s ok by me!
