Very Tarantinoish. I liked the idea of the mash-up but I wouldn't like if everyone started doing it. It takes away from originality. The trailer looked ok. Very Tarantinoish.

But that doesn't mean it won't be an interesting experiment. I don't know if it will start a trend and I sort of hope it won't since "homage" and just flat out "ripping off" are two different things, mostly. The idea of sticking to the original dialouge sounds like the biggest aspect of the gimmick and I'm sure if it is to have a fun spree of a few films and filmmakers doing these kinds of projects they will need to come up with a Dogme '95 kind of list of rules and then the fun will be to see where they break them.

What more interesting is that a director like Coppola is actually OK with this. I'm vaguely interested in the result.
