Filming on Burnet behind the Omelettr

submitted by Cindy Gustin

This afternoon I saw a huge crane off of Burnet   Rd. with lights atop them, then spied a "Set" sign by the Omelettry. I went down there tonight (9/19) to see what was going on and found out that a movie called "Grind House," which will consist of 2 segements, is being filmed there. One segment is called "Planet Terror" (zombie theme) and was directed by Robert Rodriquez (I believe the filming of this part was completed in Austin earlier this year). The second segment is a slasher called "Death Proof" and is being directed by Quentin Tarantino now. I saw Mr. Tarantino sitting in a director's chair. I waited around to watch them make fake rain (if they had been here several nights ago they could have saved themselves a whole lot of trouble!). There were also 3 Chevy Novas in the parking lot, all alike and with the same license plate number. I have no idea how that figures into the story! Attached are some of the photos I took.
