Inglourious Basterds

[airik625]

Quentin Tarantino's latest project about a group of U.S. Soldiers avoiding death by going into Nazi occupied France to help their allies.

Who else is excited?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglorious_Bastards

[shinedown114]

I second the excitement

[mutualaddiction]

yea I've been excited for this for a long time. Haven't heard much about it recently. I remember reading a long list of rumored actors while back, with some very interesting names, but I guess it was false information.

[Ravenna]

I woudn't get too excited yet. This film is taking forever to get off the ground. If its out by 2010, I'll be suprised.

[Bob Payne]

Sounds pretty ambitious. He's probably having trouble finding a financier, which is why it hasn't even started pre-production yet.

[WordzandDreamz]

Haha, I definately remember being excited for this about 7 years ago. This is one of the first scripts that QT ever wrote. Apparently it is about 300 some pages long which is enough for 3 movies, let alone one long ass one. I've learned at this point to never get excited for anything Tarantino until I actually see a trailer.

[matt_rawlings]

Yeah, he has been working on this film since before Kill Bill...he is still writting it in fact

[aminorthreat55]

This movie will determine whether or not I jump ship as a Quentin supporter. He needs to cut down on the pastiche/homage stuff and start defining himself in his own terms.

[gloriousmuse]

I like QT, so I'm looking forward to this

[GoWaitInTheCar]

It seems like such an intense plot. I'm excited, yes.

[williek311]

Once this actually starts filiming I will get excited.

[CatDiesel]

I wouldn't be surprised if he did another movie before doing this one

[Justin_stacy]

He was talking about this after Jackie Brown in '97 and Adam Sandler was set to star....that was 12 years ago.

[airik625]

Wow, maybe I shouldn't wait for this rather than look forward to it coming out but also not planning on it coming out for a while.

[Adeniz19]

damn this thread. i thought the movie was finally getting around to being made

[Chris Fallon]

Once it starts getting made ... I will get a boner.

[notoaststereo]

QT war movies sounds pretty awesome.

[airik625]

Once it starts getting made ... I will get a boner.

For sure. But, who the hell knows when this bitch is going to start up. I'm sure it will be well worth the wait though.

[eraserhead]

haha wow I thought this was going to say it was in production or something...false alarm

[Chris Fallon]

For sure. But, who the hell knows when this bitch is going to start up. I'm sure it will be well worth the wait though.

Oh, definitely. I can't even picture a Tarantino war movie. It will be a wild scene, man.

But I've been hearing about this since 2004, so if it gets made soon, I'll be surprised. Hopefully, he doesn't get sidetracked anymore like he has been.

One can only hope for another guest judge appearance on american idol.

I started this thread because it was my first time hearing about this movie. But, I guess it has been talked about for a long while now.

QT is one of my favorite directors. I completely agree with it being difficult to picture a QT warm film. Wow - it can't not be spectacular.

[Chris Fallon]

One can only hope for another guest judge appearance on american idol.

Hahaha I forgot about that. That CSI episode he directed was pretty intense, so as much as he continues taking on other projects ... I can't say he's making any bad choices.

It sounds incredible. I don't know whether or not Adam Sandler will be in it (like he's been rumored to), but whatever QT does, it will be nothing short of spectacular.Since you love him as much as I do, let me say this: Jackie Brown doesn't get nearly enough credit ... but it rocks. SLJ is fucking smooth as silk in that movie.

[nfggc10]

Sounds pretty ambitious. He's probably having trouble finding a financier, which is why it hasn't even started pre-production yet.There is no way a director of his stature is having trouble financing this movie, especially since the buzz has been building for about 10 years.

Yeah, he has been working on this film since before Kill Bill...he is still writting it in factHe finished the script which he admitted last year when he was on Charlie Rose's show. Not sure why that part was left off the wikipedia page considering they mention another quote from that interview.

Yeah, I completely agree. SLJ is a stud for sure in that movie film. I'm guessing you loved Death Proof too?

If you knew anything about the film business, it would seem more likely to you:

1) Google Orson Welles.

2) "What have you done for me lately?" QT's last film was a flop, which creates hesitance in the studios' pocketls.

3) Marketability. Films are a product of their timer. There hasn't been a profitable* market for war films, regardless of director, since Saving Private Ryan.


*actual wide release return, which most war films in the last 10 years are failing to do, regardless of critical reaction.

He said he had to go back and work more on the script

1) Welles was blacklisted for taking a potshot at one of the most powerful men in the country with Citizen Kane, Tarantino has yet to do that.

2) Yea Grindhouse was a flop, but it did have the budget of two films, and I would imagine Tarantino's half had the lesser budget.

3) There's always a market for Tarantino films, and its guaranteed not to be your typical war flick.

I doubt financing is the hold-up on this film.

[Throwback]

This movie will determine whether or not I jump ship as a Quentin supporter. He needs to cut down on the pastiche/homage stuff and start defining himself in his own terms.
Wholeheartedly agree.

[Rawrr]

Wow, it's premeiring at Cannes next year.
Werid news to me because didn't he just finish the script?

I'm excited to see this, I love Tarantino a lot, but I'm really curious as to if he can pull off a war-film.

Oh also, source for the cannes thing: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/36878

[Adeniz19]

shiiiiiit. i wonder when he'll start filming

[Ravenna]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say no. won't happen.

[notoaststereo]

the story sounds like it has the potential to be his best film yet.

[Chris Fallon]

If this is truly going to premiere next year, I'll be shocked. Adam Sandler has a few projects on his plate right now, so I'm not sure he'll be able to be in the film anymore.

[Rawrr]

I wonder if he's still making it a trilogy? If not, he probably has to cut so much out of the 600 page script.

[symbiote28]

sounds interesting but it's still too far ..

[Chemical Love]

Sounds awesome. I'm real excited to hear more about this.

[airik625]

Just read that article on Joblo. So fucking excited for this movie.

[Ailite]

This will undoubtedly be fantastic, I can't wait
Shame it'll be awhile

[airik625]

Once it starts getting made ... I will get a boner.

http://www.joblo.com/inglorious-bastards-now

Boner time.

[Deadwomb88]

Sounds sweet. Pretty big Tarantino fan.

[airik625]

http://www.joblo.com/inglorious-split-in-2

This is very exciting. The more Tarantino the better.

And apparently Tim Roth has already been casted.

[jbaseball44]

Wow. Best news of the week.

[Ailite]

That's great news

[DickfaceChillah]

If Roth and Madsen are truly in this I'll flip. I love the concept of QT doing a WWII film, and I love the dialogue between soldiers in war flicks... imagine QT's dialogue.



Not war movie based on any war will ever beat Full Metal Jacket, though.

[DickfaceChillah]

And P.S., anyone seen the original Inglorious Bastards yet?

[airik625]

http://www.joblo.com/qt-talks-inglorious

The script is finally completed!

[Ailite]

I really hope that he gets it done that fast. It could easily be his best film.

[airik625]

I really hope that he gets it done that fast. It could easily be his best film.

Pump the breaks. I have no doubt it will be 'glorious' (pun intended) but come on, PULP FICTION?! I doubt he could top that.

[eraserhead]

wow he'll never get it done by 09 if it's a two-parter. i'm not holding my breath.

[airik625]

wow he'll never get it done by 09 if it's a two-parter. i'm not holding my breath.

I'm guessing they're probably just going for the first part by -09.

[Jessooker]

I'm guessing they're probably just going for the first part by -09.

Happy Birthday!



I can't wait for this movie.

[airik625]

Happy Birthday!



I can't wait for this movie.

Thanks jess!

[jbaseball44]

Thanks jess!

I don't really know you that well but if it's your birthday then Happy Birthday.

[JHSace923]

If QT can actually prep, cast, film, and cut this giant WWII epic in time for next years Cannes, I will be very impressed.

[airik625]

I don't really know you that well but if it's your birthday then Happy Birthday.

It is my birthday (see the 625 in my name)

thank you!

[jbaseball44]

It is my birthday (see the 625 in my name)

I should of picked up on that. how old does this make you?

[airik625]

19

[jbaseball44]

Gotcha. 18 over here and turning 19 on July 7th.

[airik625]

Gotcha. 18 over here and turning 19 on July 7th.

coming up.

[Ailite]

Pump the breaks. I have no doubt it will be 'glorious' (pun intended) but come on, PULP FICTION?! I doubt he could top that.
Oh yeah, I completely agree that Pulp Fiction is his best, but I don't think its impossible for him to top. I have a thing for WW2 movies, and this is just to perfect for him.

[jbaseball44]

QT makes the impossible possible.

[Ailite]

Yessir
I love how he takes a small event and blows it up to huge proportions. For him to be making a movie about WW2, where absolutely nothing is small, the only way I can see it going is epic.

And I really hope this is a two-part film

same here. what did you think of Death Proof?

[Ailite]

same here. what did you think of Death Proof?
I loved it, and I was really not expecting to at all. He said he cast Kurt Russel because a whole generation hadn't really seen him at his best, and I fit right in there, because before Death Proof I wasn't aware of how great an actor he was. The dialouge was great, and just as stylish as Pulp Fiction. He did such a great job writing it- I absolutely despised the first group of girls, and since they get brutally murdered I think you're supposed to. With the second group of girls, when they're playing Ship's Mast I really, really wanted to see Mike get them, but once they turn around on him, it completely turned my opinion away and I wanted to see them get what he deserved. I jumped back and forth between rooting for Mike and the girls the whole time, it was great.

[jbaseball44]

I loved the first half of Death Proof (9/10) and liked the second half (6.5-7/10). Stuntman Mike was such a cool character. The way he shot the car wreck scene at the end of the first half was sick. Something about the second half was a little off to me, i don't know what it was but when they turn the tables on him and he is like "keep it together mike", that part is hysterical.

[Ailite]

Yeah, I just love how badly he gets it in the ending.

[airik625]

QT makes the impossible possible.

Well played, sir.

[nfggc10]

wow he'll never get it done by 09 if it's a two-parter. i'm not holding my breath.I don't see it happening either. I think he mentioned having it done by Cannes next year was just wishful thinking seeing as though he can't be setting his timetable based around when the premier is going to be.


Oh yeah, I completely agree that Pulp Fiction is his best, but I don't think its impossible for him to top. I have a thing for WW2 movies, and this is just to perfect for him.I agree and this project has had too much work put into it to not at least rival Pulp Fiction. It'll be interesting to see how the 2 parts are released seeing as though I don't care for that strategy.

[jbaseball44]

Well played, sir.

Many thanks.

/Film just posted this (http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/07/09/script-reviews-for-quentin-tarantinos-inglorious-bastards-hit-web/). The script is written and most are calling it his masterpiece. It starts filming in October. I can't believe he's actually going to have this for Cannes.

“If you took the bad guy swagger of RESOVOIR DOGS, the uber coolness and structure of PULP FICTION, throw in the revenge angle of KILL BILL, set it in World War II – you get INGLORIOUS BASTERDS.”

I'm so stoked now.

I'm so stoked now.Interesting timing. I was just about to come in and post the Brad Pitt rumor.

"The chapters are said to form a storyline double helix of sorts, switching from the Bastards to the other main character, which Vulture describes as “a French Jewish teenager named Shosanna who survives the massacre of her family.” She is curating the premiere and has something up her sleeve for the Third Reich as well."

That really sounds awesome.

[airik625]

Brad Pitt rumor? I can't believe how excited I am for this movie and it hasn't even began filming yet.

[nfggc10]

Brad Pitt rumor? I can't believe how excited I am for this movie and it hasn't even began filming yet.QT wants him to be star in it.

It'll be interesting to see what the budget for this movie is. Hopefully the studio doesn't force him to cut down the length to make into one movie.

[airik625]

QT wants him to be star in it.

It'll be interesting to see what the budget for this movie is. Hopefully the studio doesn't force him to cut down the length to make into one movie.

Yeah, that would be a catastrophe. Brad Pitt is a wise choice for just about any role. Him in a QT film would be amazing.

[nfggc10]

Yeah, that would be a catastrophe. Brad Pitt is a wise choice for just about any role. Him in a QT film would be amazing.Yeah it would be a great combination.

[JHSace923]

This will make you absolutely giddy beyond comprehension. Harry Knowles of AICN has read the script and goes absolutely nuts over how great it is. He also advises everyone to read nothing more of this film other than his reaction until the film comes out. Apparently there are plot twists abound. Enjoy.

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/37401

[Ailite]

Brad Pitt would make this film so great.

[CstSnow]

Lots of rumours swirling about this movie lately i.e. Brad Pitt and George Clooney possibly being involved, and it looking like its definitely going to be made. But the first concrete thing ive seen yet is here http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2008/07/qts_inglorious_bastards_script.php
Basically it says a few sites have read the script and are saying ""if you took the bad guy swagger of RESERVOIR DOGS, the uber coolness and structure of PULP FICTION, throw in the revenge angle of KILL BILL, set it in World War II" and "like Kill Bill meets The Dirty Dozen meets Cinema Paradiso." In other words it sounds awesome.
http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2008/07/10/inglorious-bastards-script.jpg

Thanks to whoever put this in here, idk why I didnt check to see if there was a thread already.

[JHSace923]

QT met with Brad Pitt on Tuesday and he's set to meet with Leonardo DiCaprio next week to play the other major role. This movie is going to be so fucking good.

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=46913There's no way this film could turn out bad.

[chronomic]

leo and brad in the leading roles? the movie would be sweet regardess of what it was about, haha.

[eMart]

Fuck yes. I know that Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill to an extent are seen as modern classics, but I think this could potentially be better than both those movies if done right. Color me excited.

[JHSace923]

Fuck yes. I know that Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill to an extent are seen as modern classics, but I think this could potentially be better than both those movies if done right. Color me excited.

Completely agree. Everything I've read about the script is that this is his masterpiece. Plus, with the cast like it's shaping up to be, this sounds like it'll turn out to be un-fucking-believable.

[doyouhas?]

i hope this movie actually happens. him and robert rodriguez are the most unreliable people. they never seem to finish what they start.

[JHSace923]

i hope this movie actually happens. him and robert rodriguez are the most unreliable people. they never seem to finish what they start.

It's for sure. The script went out to studios last week to find an international distributor. Financing is there, now they're working on cast. He wants it finished by next year's Cannes.

[doyouhas?]

It's for sure. The script went out to studios last week to find an international distributor. Financing is there, now they're working on cast. He wants it finished by next year's Cannes.

yeah, it seems legit. im just always wary. but. whenever this does come out, its probably going to be the greatest thing ever created. im almost certain.

[Ailite]

Everything I hear about this makes me more excited.

[JHSace923]

I guess it's time to find a new movie to obsess over now that Dark Knight is finally out. This is it.

[airik625]

http://www.joblo.com/pitt-is-a-bastard

Almost 100% sure Brad Pitt to star as Lieut. Aldo Raine.


Hopefully they can reel in Leonardo DiCaprio next!

[Adeniz19]

On a side note, it’s nice to see that Quentin is continuing his trend of reviving the careers (http://www.joblo.com/pitt-is-a-bastard#) of washed up actors. For a second there I was wondering if Brad Pitt would ever make another movie again.
sarcasm? i can't tell

[eHaMpToN]

BJ Novak signed on in a small role earlier in the week.
wut

[Adeniz19]

BJ Novak signed on in a small role earlier in the week.

I don't think they're going after Leo any longer, QT wants a German to play the role instead.

[eHaMpToN]

I don't think they're going after Leo any longer, QT wants a German to play the role instead.

thats wise, but i dont know, he seemed pretty hell bent on Leo, i think after watching Cruise in the Valkyrie trailer that having Leo wouldn't be the end of the world and sure would give the flick more buzz

[poppa Q]

True, but I think Pitt can generate enough buzz himself. Hell, Tarantino doesn't have any problems generating buzz for his films, period haha. But I don't really care who is in it, I'd just like to see this turn out well.

[terrycw89]

According to /film, Brad Pitt is officially signed on now.

[airik625]

BJ Novak from the Office a bastard?

Great to see Pegg got casted. Not that surprising I suppose considering that Tarantino is a big fan of Spaced

[eMart]

http://www.variety.com/VR1117990231.html
It's official, Pitt is in! This is coming alone nicely.

[poppa Q]

I do not like the thought of Pegg being in this. Why? Pegg? Novak? Roth? Wtf?

[chronomic]

people just love to be in QT movies.


makes sense though after what pulp fiction did to its stars...not many movies have that power.

[poppa Q]

Good point, I guess I'm just being too close-minded considering it's a WWII film. I love Pegg and I have faith in QT, so I should just trust.

[chronomic]

i hope this movie is nothing like grindhouse....not that i didnt like it, but it wasnt sweet enough.

[Ailite]

I'm very happy to hear about Pitt being in.

I like all of Quentin's movies, but some definitely more than others. I'd rank them such as-

Pulp Fiction>Kill Bill (I consider them just one extremely good movie)>Death Proof>Reservoir Dogs>Jackie Brown

[chronomic]

i like all his movies too...but pulp fiction is far and away the best one.

[Jessooker]

I must say I prefer Kill Bill, but that's just me.

[Ailite]

Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill are both two my favorites

[chronomic]

kill bill did put uma back on the mark. just like pulp fiction did. damn she owes a lot to QT, haha

[poppa Q]

i hope this movie is nothing like grindhouse....not that i didnt like it, but it wasnt sweet enough.

I don't think it will be at all.

http://www.variety.com/VR1117990231.html

More info on the casting. I can buy that for Pegg.

Kill Bill is my number one also -- my two cents.

No way is Death Proof better than Reservoir Dogs. I'd actually put DP at the last of my QT list.

[Jessooker]

I think Kill Bill is my favorite. Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs are tied at second.

[buysoap]

Res Dogs is the best.

[Jessooker]

Res Dogs is the best.

When I posted my comment I was thinking that I actually thought this has the advantage over Pulp Fiction. I really need to watch it again, it's been a long time.

[buysoap]

When I posted my comment I was thinking that I actually thought this has the advantage over Pulp Fiction. I really need to watch it again, it's been a long time.
It's very well done. I loved how it started after the bank robbery and it didn't bother telling you what happened during, only before and after. It was quite a debut for him. That and it has an amazing and small cast, each person absolutely perfect for their role.

Plus - Stephen Wright on the radio. Come on.

yeah i really loved how they don't show the robbery at all. i also love all of the characters so much. mr. orange is my personal favorite.

[Prestonxsmith]

This will be a good movie

[PDon11]

Jewish actors who could be good in this,

Ben Foster
Joeseph Gordon-Levitt
Jake Gyllenhaal
Jason Schwartzman
James Franco
Joaquinn Phoniex
Fred Savage (revive his career)
Michael Rosenbaum
Scott Caan
Adrien Brody


What the fuck is he doing with a torture porn director and some dude from The Office?

[buysoap]

yeah i really loved how they don't show the robbery at all. i also love all of the characters so much. mr. orange is my personal favorite.
I'm a sucker for Mr. Blonde. Hahaha. "Are you gonna bark all day, little doggie? Or are you gonna bite?"

[aminorthreat55]

Res Dogs is the best.
No way. Solid reworking of Kubrick's The Killing, but given that The Killing is the original non-linear heist film and the better one, it would be hard to pass off Tarantino's reworking as being particularly special. Not that it is in any way bad, it's just hard to find Reservoir Dogs as innovative knowing how good The Killing is. Plus Reservoir Dogs doesn't have Sterling Hayden.

[Bob Payne]

Read the script. Its pretty good. Also, David Krumholtz is apparently in this now. Love him.

I would say Reservoir Dogs is more a reworking of City on Fire, except taking the last 15 minutes of City on Fire and fleshing it out into an entire movie.

[Ailite]

The revenge story in this is one of the best things ever conceived.

[Justin_stacy]

Ben Foster


Would love to see him in a QT film.

[Ailite]

I always love the chapter titles he uses in his films and these are no different, they all are really cool but tell you nothing as to what happens.

[Ailite]

Brad Pitt is perfect for Aldo Raines
Leonardo Dicaprio would be great for the role of Hans Landa, the bad guy, but I understand Tarantino wanting a german actor.
Simon Pegg is also a really good choice for his role, it needs a guy British as the day is long
For the Jewish girl, who's story is absolutely fascinating, I think Natalie Portman fits the role like it was written for her. Whoever he casts, she better be good.

[lo0serkid1118]

I'm sooo excited. Tarantinos gonna blow us away. if pitt stays on this is gonna so much better

[Ailite]

I really hope he casts Natalie Portman, but thats just who I picture as the girl. Her story is without a doubt one of the best revenge tales I've ever heard.

oh and Eli Roth as the Bear Jew, I don't know about him. I'd rather see Michael Madsen but I trust Tarantino completely so I'm sure Roth will be fine.

[Ravenna]

Eli Roth is a piece of shit.

[Ailite]

Eli Roth is a piece of shit.
Who was he in Death Proof?

[airik625]

Who was he in Death Proof?

One of the guys at the bar drinking with the girls.

[Ailite]

One of the guys at the bar drinking with the girls.
Oh okay I know which one
He's not big enough to play the Bear Jew ;-)
But I think he'll be fine. His acting seems much better than his directing.

spoiler?
Yeah, it can't hurt. I remember hearing the word revenge when one of the guys at Aintitcoolnews was talking about it and getting excited.

[Adeniz19]

Yeah, it can't hurt. I remember hearing the word revenge when one of the guys at Aintitcoolnews was talking about it and getting excited.haha yea, revenge is way better when you don't know it's coming

[Ailite]

haha yea, revenge is way better when you don't know it's coming ahead of time
My Jewish friend who's reading it right now says its 'inspiring', haha

The Mexican standoff that isn't really a spoiler because we all knew it was coming is so great. Its actually German, French and American, and therefore kind of funny.

[WordzandDreamz]

haha yea, revenge is way better when you don't know it's coming

I really wouldn't consider it a spoiler though, because 1) the movie is a remake, so anyone looking the movie up will see what it is about and 2) the brief synopsis of the film has to include that this is part of the plot, especially since it is how the movie opens. It will no doubt be shown in the first trailer.

[Ailite]

Was there a Mexican standoff in Kill Bill (1 or 2)? I can't remember and its driving me crazy.

[Rawrr]

I think so.

[Ailite]

I just finished reading. Absolutely no spoilers here.
Its probably the best story Tarantino has come up with. Nothing played out in the end like I thought it would, there are quite a few twists, one in particular that I could do without. Its the kind of thing that in time I will come to appreciate more, because it fits right into Tarantino's style. Everything else was just about perfect. The bad guys and the good guys are all great and its long and sprawling. It doesn't need to be to two films, and I don't think it will. The script I just read is five chapters, 167 pages, so it will certainly be a long movie, but its fine that way. Its a classic Tarantino movie (weird, funny characters, violence, mexican standoffs, toilet scenes, feet), as much of a period piece as it is a war movie, and I simply can't wait to see it. Its got a very good chance of being his best film and if he really nails its going to be a masterpiece. Prepare yourselves for the best dialogue he's written since Pulp Fiction. I hate to start the hype this early, but its pretty fantastic. The story is absolutely epic from the opening scene, there's tons of emotion. I think it will become as much of a classic as Pulp Fiction has. In short, this is going to be a damn good movie.

also- don't worry, B.J. Novak is a great choice.

[terrycw89]

/film is saying that there's a rumor that Mike Myers has been cast in a small role in the movie. I really hope that this is not true.

[Chemical Love]

This is one of my most anticipated movies for the next couple of years.

could be good we'll see

[Ailite]

His part is very small, and that's not a bad decisions. The only casting choice so far I don't like is Eli Roth as the Bear Jew. Tim Roth or Josh Brolin are who I imagined doing it.

[notoaststereo]

alright thats a relief i guess. i just dont want a guy like mike meyers fucking up what could seems like it could be QTs best movie yet.

[Prestonxsmith]

alright thats a relief i guess. i just dont want a guy like mike meyers fucking up what could seems like it could be QTs best movie yet.
Just a tiny part. It could be funny and worth it. but fucking BJ Novak for this? Now that is something that is crazy. I think he could pull it off.

[airik625]

I'm interested to see what kind of role Myers will play.

[WordzandDreamz]

He'sm literally only in it for one scene and like 5 lines. I just got done reading the script. It is NOTHING like I would have imagined. I really wish I could have read it when it was over 300 pages, cause I feel like the whole plot may have been altered by the cuts. It was still a great read and I can't wait to see this on the screen. Its gonna be fucking awesome.

But Paul does sound excellent

[fantasma]

I am so happy Sam Levine is doing work like this.

[Ailite]

I think the title of this should not be Inglorious Bastards, but Once Upon A Time In Nazi Occupied France. Inglorious Bastards focuses on one part of the screenplay while the other title encompasses the whole thing. Also, I love the obvious Sergio Leone reference. To me there are tons of Western homages in this movie and its really kind of a western that takes place....in Nazi occupied France.

I do indeed think this will be Tarantino's biggest movie/his masterpiece. I wish we could have seen it when it was 200+ plus pages because I could read about these characters for hundreds of pages, but its still just about perfect.

[Jessooker]

Haha seriously. Just another instance of someone trying others that they have a script that anyone is capable of obtaining.

[WordzandDreamz]

Not At All.

[WordzandDreamz]

Haha seriously. Just another instance of someone trying others that they have a script that anyone is capable of obtaining.

I'm assuming you haven't read it, because if you had you would know exactly how right he is. I feel like the title of the movie is going to throw people off big time and make them dislike the movie. The Bastards are really not even what the story is about.

[Adeniz19]

Not At All.yea, it just rolls off the tip of my tongue.

[Ailite]

1- Great poster
2- No, its not. For once, I'm letting my thoughts on the movie get out there. Anyone can get the script off the internet. I'm not pretending to have connections at all, please don't assume I am- I got the script from a guy right here on AP.

I think the title should be changed, because, the Basterds (please, please, don't correct me on my spelling) are not inglorious. In fact, they're not the main subjects of the story. Like Pulp Fiction, this movie is about them, and a Jewish girl. Both get lots of screentime, but naming it Once Upon A Time In Nazi Occupied France encompasses all the elements of the story, along with the Sergio Leone reference- its kind of like a western taking place with the background of World War 2. The title just makes it seems like a different kind of movie than it is.

[Adeniz19]

i understand that "once upon a time in nazi occupied france" probably says more about what the movie is actually about, it's just a really REALLY horrible name for a movie. it's one thing to pay homage to leone and a totally different thing to just rip off his film titles.

[Rawrr]

Man, still so excited for this.
Jacob, you've read the script right? Do you agree with the casting for the major characters?

[certain tragedy]

can someone send me the script?

[poppa Q]

First of all, I was singling any one individual out. Second of all, I'm just biased because I think reading scripts before movies come out is really lame and a huge waste of time. And who cares if someone is turned away because of a film's title? That is their loss. Do some research.

I understand that; I just think once you've read it Inglorious Bastards isn't a very good title either, because though the characters are rather anti-hero, theyre pretty glorious. OUATINOF is already a chapter title, it'll probably stay that way.
Man, still so excited for this.
Jacob, you've read the script right? Do you agree with the casting for the major characters?
Yes, absolutely. Brad Pitt's role, Aldo Raine, was just written for him. B.J. Novak's character is a weird, nervous little guy (like B.J. Novak) and Mike Myers's character is small, but pivotal, and very British- there won't be any room for him to mess it up. The only casting choice I'm skeptical about is Eli Roth as the bear Jew, a particularly violent member of the Basterds. I think Josh Brolin or Bruce Willis would do it much better. He was going to cast Leonardo Dicaprio as the bad guy, who would have been perfect, but he's going for a german actor now. I'm sure that will work out nicely too but Leo would be excellent.

I read very few scripts, this one for two reasons- its one of my most anticipated movies, ever, and I want to be a filmmaker when I'm older. Reading it and imagining how I'd do it is a blast. Its not a waste of time at all really considering how good of a writer Tarantino is and how much fun it is imagining the scenes. I don't think people will be turned away by the title either way, I just like the other one better.

He keeps referring to it as Inglorious Bastards or Once Upon A Time In Nazi-Occupied France- everyone wins with that one.

[Jessooker]

If you haven't heard, Pegg is out.

However, she is in. I like her...http://joblo.com/more-bastards-casting

[Ailite]

Both Wolph and Kruger are great choices. Man this is going to be so good.

[Rawrr]

Going by script (which I know s hard to compare with) how is it compared to Pulp Fiction?

[Ailite]

Going by script (which I know s hard to compare with) how is it compared to Pulp Fiction?
As a script its even. Its long and sprawling and even though its a period piece its still 100% a Tarantino movie, even though its very different from his previous work. The final film may very well blow Pulp Fiction out of the park. I love the script though, its got the coolest, most intense, and bold ending ever, bold on what happens and how it happens. All the hype is deserved because the script is fantastic. So many quotable lines.

[Rawrr]

You make me more and more excited. I really love Tarantino, even if people just say he's just good at doing homages, it's whatever.

[Ailite]

I hated the ending when I read it at first but I've now come to think its brilliant. Its a big, bold ending that no one see's coming (I had to re-read it a few times) and it makes it a very different World War 2 movie. I also can't stress enough that its kind of a western taking place in World War 2. But the ending is such a huge leap, you either love (probably this one because its just so undeniably good) or hate it.

[Ailite]

and I haet the homage argument. His homages are better movies than most.

[Rawrr]

I also can't stress enough that its kind of a western taking place in World War 2.
How so?

[Ailite]

How so?
There are no big battle set pieces like in Saving Private Ryan or Thin Red Line, instead, lots of more intense fights. I mean (not really a spoiler but I'm playing it safe) the biggest action pieces take place over a lot of time in a bar and a movie theater. Also, the revenge story is Wester-ish, along with Brad Pitt's character. And a lot of the music is Ennio Morricone.

[Ailite]

Is it just called Basterds because thats the groups name, or is there more to that?
They call themselves the Basterds, and the only reason I can think of is that Brad Pitt's character can't spell and according to my friend Justin (who is Jewish) its a much more Hebrew way of spelling it.

Awesome news about Samuel L. His voice is perfect.

[Ailite]

Ennio Morricone scoring? Hell yeah

[terrycw89]

On one hand I'm a bit disappointed because I really enjoy Tarantino's soundtracks, but on the other hand Ennio Morricone's score will probably be a better for fit a WWII era film.

[Ailite]

Ennio Morricone is my favorite composer, I love Tarantino's soundtracks but its encouraging that many of them include Morricone tracks

[itsmesean0630]

Samm Levine is in this? Cool, I wonder what he's like now. I haven't seen him since Freaks and Geeks.

[Thomas Balkcom]

Very excited to see how this turns out.

[neo506]

Speaking to Variety (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117995914.html?categoryId=2525&cs=1), the eighty-year-old Morricone cautioned that, while he has accepted Tarantino's offer to score the World War II epic, he is concerned that the three-month, February-to-April window between the completion of principal photography and the April delivery to the Cannes Film Festival won't leave him enough time to finish his work. Per Morricone, "Either I start working on it before he stops shooting - after we discuss it together - or I just can't do it."




Eli Roth is taking a break from his baseball-bat-wielding duties as "The Bear Jew" to direct "Nation's Pride", the film-within-a-film starring Daniel Brühl as a heroic Nazi sniper.
