Fourthcoming: Inglourious Basterds
So, Inglorious Bastards, will be like a "modern, in-your-face" World War II epic.

Besides The Thin Red Line, what modern WWII movie hasn't been "in-your-face"?Antoine Doinel wrote:So, Inglorious Bastards, will be like a "modern, in-your-face" World War II epic.

That could actually be interesting, if QT kept the references contemporaneous with the film. I would love to see him try to write riffs on Frank Sinatra, Fantasia, and Edward R. Murrow.Antoine Doinel wrote:I think by "in-your-face" he means, "will contain extended, pointless scenes of characters discussing various aspects of pop culture minutiae".

Tarantino is pitching Inglorious Bastards to four studios, and looking at Brad Pitt to star. Harvey Weinstein will produce but has balked at putting his own money into this thing.

10 years ago this movie would've been released by New LineAntoine Doinel wrote:Tarantino is pitching Inglorious Bastards to four studios, and looking at Brad Pitt to star. Harvey Weinstein will produce but has balked at putting his own money into this thing.

Although, I think the tide is turning as far as appreciation of those two films go. I don't think I'm the only one who preferred Planet Terror in the theater but found Death Proof to be the superior film after revisiting them on DVD.moviscop wrote:They also decided to sell the films separately which was a bogus idea. Talk about a bunch of people unwilling to buy Death Proof because they thought it was "too slow."

They only sold the films separately after the combined films as a "grindhouse experience" failed to connect with audiences.moviscop wrote:They also decided to sell the films separately which was a bogus idea.Antoine Doinel wrote:Even if he did (and Harvey certainly has the means to get financing if he really wanted to put his money into this film), he wouldn't put a dime behind any big budget Tarantino project after the financial disaster of Grindhouse.

Is Michael Madsen still attached?
There was a rumor floating around that he was trying to get both Schwarzenegger and Stallone for it. QT himself later squashed it in an online article I read somewhere a few years ago.exte wrote:If Brad Pitt, Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy and half the guys rumored to be in this film agree, I don't see financing to be an issue at all... It sells itself.

Tarantino
Tarantino will simply bastardize a vitally important element of the American experience and thus complete his transformation from a mediocre director into that of a nostalgic cash machine a' la George Lucas. The sad part is that this film and Tarantino's reputation will only be enhanced by all the people who go to see this film with no knowledge that he is merely imitating all the prior WW II films he has gorged on while working at the video store, rather than providing a unique and interesting approach to thinking about WW II and its connections to the current climate of the world.

Tarantino has the handwriting and spelling of a five year old. Also, the concept of the film which has a bunch of Nazi scalping soliders running around Tarantino's cinematic wet dream sounds unbelievably lame. Tarantino has just stunningly redefined self-parody.
Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Tarantino leaked this script to NYMag himself.

This is very interesting.
Quel maledetto treno blindato
Fred Williamson was in "From Dusk Till Dawn" and I find it hard to believe that Tarantino, being the huge film buff that he is, didn't buy every film the man had made after hearing he would be starring in the film. Including the film "Inglorious Bastards" seems to be fashioned after, Deadly Mission.
Not to mention, the film's name in the US was Inglorious Bastards
I smell something funny.
