Following his comeback in the Planet Terror portion of the Robert Rodriguez / Quentin Tarantino collaboration Grindhouse back in 2007, cult actor Michael Biehn – star of 80’s classics The Terminator, Aliens and The Abyss – now seems to have a taste for exploitation flicks. Having made his directorial debut last year with the suspense thriller The Victim, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Biehn has signed a deal with Chiller Films (the genre arm of Aspect Film Ltd.) to star in three grindhouse movies from his production company Blanc/Biehn Productions.
In a press statement, Chiller Films CEO Hugh Edwards said, “The three films are action-packed and very humorous; true to the essence of the best in recent grindhouse movies, from the likes of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez.” The projects are currently going by the working titles of The Farm, Up and Down and The Predicator, and will be shot over a 45-day period under three different directors, with Biehn and his wife, Jennifer Blanc-Biehn, also serving as executive producers.
