With the fake trailers garnering much of the acclaim for "Grindhouse," the film’s trailer directors are already contemplating expanding their shorts into the next round of features. Edgar Wright‘s "Don’t" is a candidate, even though the trailer gives no indication of any sort of plot aside from people getting killed.
"If it was [turned] into a feature, it’d have to be like Dario Argento and ‘Suspiria,’" said Wright. "’Suspiria’ is I think one of the few films that feels like a dream you’ve had when you’ve had too much cheese. It’s just like the weirdest bad dream you’ve ever had. I love those films that have the nightmare logic and don’t really have any plots or story. It’s just like horrible bad dream after bad dream."
Currently a collection of snippets with a narrator telling the characters not to do things, "Don’t" is already a spoof of European horror trailers. "The thing about my trailer, unlike maybe the other ones, is that the whole point of it is that there’s no plot. Sometimes you see some of those trailers for European films and you’re thinking, ‘I have no idea what the f*ck that is about.’ My idea to make it look like it was a 90 minute film condensed is to have a different actor in every single shot so it seems like its a new cast every [scene]. Nobody ever reoccurs. So in like 90 seconds there’s like 30 actors in it which is crazy."
