It's just a rumor, but rumors spring from somewhere: Quentin Tarantino is thinking about remaking Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
If there's anything the world needs less than a remake of anything, it would be a remake of a Russ Meyer movie. The fact that this is Meyer's best known movie, the one that any hipster douchebag can reference even without having seen it, is kind of telling. Tarantino wants to be hip and cutting edge, but he's just a poseur.
My guess would be this rumor began as a throwaway comment Tarantino made to somebody or other ("Hey, wouldn't it be cool to remake this?") and just sort of built from there. But however it got started, the fact that it seems plausible speaks volumes. The cult of personality surrounding this guy thrives on this sort of thing, and he in turn feeds on the adulation, a parasitic relationship from which nothing good can come. If he ever had the desire or ability to become a serious filmmaker, that time has long since passed. The fact that he and his acolytes (Robert Rodriguez, Eli Roth) continue to rifle a cinematic past most of them were too young to have experienced (even though Grindhouse flopped, they want to expand aspects of it into new features) instead of living and working in the here-and-now suggests a prolonged adolescence. There's no reason to think Tarantino and his brood will ever mature, or matter.
