Ain't It cool - Tarantino says there's a good chance Inglorious Bastards will be showing at next year's Cannes Festival!

Monday, May 26, 2008

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. The good folks at JoBlo have a report from Cannes where Tarantino dropped the bomb that things are looking good for him jumping into shooting INGLORIOUS BASTARDS with a premiere at next year's Cannes Festival!

I've been hearing that Tarantino's been writing, but nobody seemed to know what he was spending his time on. Looks like the writing's done and he's moving forward.

Of all the projects that Tarantino has been involved in for the last few years, I've always looked forward to his ensemble WW2 movie the most. His style in that time period and his talent at ensemble dialogue just seem the perfect recipe. Can't wait to see it come together! You?

/Film - Quentin Tarantino in Preproduction on Inglorious Bastards

Tarantino was scheduled to appear at the Alamo Drafthouse’s Rolling Roadshow events in Spain but made a last minute cancellation. The official word is that

“He has cleared all appearances to begin preproduction on his new feature, Inglorious Bastards.”

So it appears like Inglorious Bastards might be happening after all.

Jag föreslår att ni också ser originalet med Bo Svenson i huvudrollen. Denna italienska krigsfilm från 1978 är en mycket intressant film.

Enzo G. Castellari har också stått för filmer som Bronx Warrior, Tuareg - the Desert Warrior och några andra klassiska filmer.

[Cartman]

Jag har sett den många, många gånger då jag älskar den typen av film. Den finns numera även utgiven på en fin dubbeldisc-utgåva här i sverige tack vare eldsjälarna på Studio S Entertainment.

Filmstalker - Inglorious Bastards ready to film

July 9, 2008

Well I thought this might be a project of Quentin Tarantino's that just went on and on, being talked about and never filmed, how wrong I was because today he's saying it's ready to go and it this will be his next film to shoot.

Word is that he hopes to have his remake of Inglorious Bastards ready for Cannes next year and will start filming in October.

According to Reuters through Yahoo News Quentin Tarantino is ready to roll on his World War II story of a group of soldiers who are facing a firing squad for their various acts during wartime and are given a chance to wipe their slate clean by accepting a near suicidal mission deep behind enemy lines. Of course the accept.

It may sound a little like The Dirty Dozen, but Inglorious Bastards is a remake of the film Quel maledetto treno blindato from 1978, which is roughly translates as the same thing.

First Showing - Quentin Tarantino Shops Inglorious Bastards Around

July 8, 2008
Source: Deadline Hollywood

Quentin Tarantino's promising next production, Inglorious Bastards, is on a roll. Hot off the news that the hefty script was finally finished, we receive word from Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood that the film not only has a producer on board (Laurence Bender) but that Tarantino is shopping the script around, and surprisingly not to the The Weinstein Company, whom the auteur seems so far to have been domestically married. TWC has been involved in Tarantino's haymaker films for some time, including Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bill series. The independent studio is also responsible for the painfully unsuccessful Grindhouse double feature of last year. Is this a good move for Tarantino and his film?

While I think it bodes well, the shopping of the script might not all be creative. Harvey Weinstein, in fact, will potentially fulfill his regular producing role on the film. The fact that TWC is not financing the flick is more telling of the studio's health. Despite being privately held, the near two-year-old studio has investors who aren't exactly pleased; one party, in fact, plainly stated that 2007 had "been a disappointing one." Adding to this is Harvey's widely reported big-media dreams that have seemingly taken him away from the art of movie-making. His brother and partner, Bob, recently told him, "Halston and all that sounds cool and everything, but you're a filmmaker, and people expect that of you." Clearly one half of the Weinstein brand needs a bit of realignment and thankfully Tarantino knows that as well.

Leaving the financing to another studio will certainly prove interesting for Tarantino's long-awaited film. Warner Brothers, Universal, Sony and Paramount are reportedly all contenders for the script. And considering the title and unique subject matter - "a spaghetti western meets World War II film that's an homage to 1967's The Dirty Dozen" - Inglorious Bastards will definitely present some marketing challenges. The Weinstein's missed on the marketing of Tarantino's last project, so the change in the formula in and of itself breeds hope. There's no telling if this will be a trend for future Tarantino projects or if this is a harbinger for further negative turns at TWC. But, for me, it bolsters the promise of Inglorious Bastards quite a bit. What do you think? Does not having the Weinsteins as financial backers mean good things for Inglorious Bastards?

Update! Apparently Nikki Finke also reports that Tarantino is attempting to lure Brad Pitt into starring in the film as well. She confirms that they're talking, but that he is not at all actually cast.

IGN: Universal Are Bastards
Studio wants Tarantino flick.
by Brian Linder

July 30, 2008 - QT's long-awaited WWII film, Inglorious Bastards, may have found a distributor in Universal Pictures.

In today's Variety, we learn that the studio is in talks with the Weinstein Co. to assist in bringing the anticipated picture to the big screen. The details of the deal are still reportedly being hashed out, but industry sources tell the mag that it's practically a sure thing.

Tarantino and producer Harvey Weinstein reportedly met with five major studios last week about co-financing the movie, and the finalists were Paramount and Uni. Paramount was ultimately passed over due to issues the studio had with profit distribution from the movie.

Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio have both been linked to roles in the flick. Pitt would play the movie's main hero, Aldo "the Apache" Raine, the world-weary leader of a group of men on a mission. DiCaprio would play Nazi villain, Hans Lada.

Inglorious Bastards is expected to start filming this fall in France and Germany.

UPDATED: Entertainment Weekly's Hollywood Elsewhere blog claims that rumors of DiCaprio being up for the villain role are false.

WorstPreviews - Brad Pitt Confirmed for Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards

07-31-2008

Entertainment Weekly has received confirmation from Brad Pitt's representatives that Pitt will star in the upcoming Quentin Tarantino-directed WWII project, entitled Inglorious Bastards. Pitt will play Lieutenant Aldo Raine.

After three weeks of very public negotiations, sources say the movie will land at Universal Pictures. Dealmaking has been handed off to the studio's lawyers, and while nothing is set in stone, it appears that the studio will partner with Tarantino and producer/domestic distributor Harvey Weinstein to co-finance the film and handle international distribution.

Inglorious Bastards is set in World War 2 and revolves around a group of soldiers on their way to be executed, only to get the chance for a reprieval.

Ain't It Cool - Hostel mastermind Eli Roth To Play Sgt. Donowitz In Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Eli Roth, writer-director of both Hostel movies, is the first man officially cast in Quentin Tarantino’s World War II epic "nglorious Bastards. He’ll play New Yorker Donnie Donowitz, the member of Aldo Raine's crew who lives to punish frail Nazi bodies with his signature baseball bat.

Roth has acted for Tarantino before, having played an Austin bar patron in Death Proof.

B.J. Novak, writer-star of NBC's "The Office," is in talks to play Private Utivich, Aldo Raine's diminutive Jewish-American Nazi slayer, in Quentin Tarantino's World War II epic "Inglorious Bastards."

If he can work out the details, Novak will join "Hostel" writer-director Eli Roth, cast earlier this week as bat-brandishing Jewish-American sergeant Donnie Donowitz.

Ain't It Cool - Nastassja Kinski To Play The Uma Part In Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards? Krumholtz and Pegg In Talks Too?

Thursday, August 7, 2008

Berlin-born Nastassja Kinski (Tess, "Cat People, Inland Empire) is in talks to play the key role of German movie star Bridget Von Hammersmark in Quentin Tarantino's World War II epic Inglorious Bastards.

Many had speculated that the role, which requires the speaking of much German, might go to Uma Thurman.

David Krumholtz (Serenity, Numb3rs) is in talks to play a member of Aldo The Apache Raine's Jewish-American Nazi-killing squad. I'd guess the American Hirschberg.

Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz, Mission: Impossible III) is up for Lt. Archie Hicox, the British officer who aids Raine's efforts in Nazi-occupied Europe. The Brit role was long earmarked for Tarantino regular Tim Roth, but Roth is currently busy with the Fox Network series Lie To Me.

And, oh yeah, as long rumored, Brad Pitt is aboard the project as Raine. He joins Eli Roth (Grindhouse), who assays Donnie The Bear Jew Donowitz.

B.J. Novak (The Office) is in talks to another Jewish-American soldier, Private Utivich.

Yet uncast is the bloodthirsty European Jew Hugo Stiglitz, the fabulous French Jewess Shoshanna Dreyfus, and Nazi colonel Hans Landa, The Jew Hunter.

Thursday, August 14, 2008

Mike Myers, who got famous playing Teutonic "Sprockets" host Dieter on "Saturday Night Live," has switched sides, enlisting as a man determined to visit death upon Germans in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Bastards."

He will appear in one scene, as the British commander who assigns fellow officer Archie Hicox to help American lieutenant Aldo Raines' squad of angry, vengeful Jews kill awful Nazis.

He's the third cast member confirmed for the World War II epic, following Brad Pitt and Eli Roth. Others reportedly being sought for key roles include Nastassja Kinski, B.J. Novak, Simon Pegg and David Krumholtz.

Vem har annars sett ursprungsfilmen? Vore kul höra kommentarer om den också. Quentin Tarantino gör en film. Det vet vi alla men vem minns detta "mästerverk" till film med Bo Svenson. Peter Hooten, Fred Williamson, och Michael Pergolani. Vem tror ni kan kliva in i Bo Svensons stövlar som Lt Robert Yeager eller Fred Williamson som Frd Canfield.

Jag personligen är stor fan av denna film och även om den har en stor del (läs gigantiska) fel och brister är detta en film som får mig att tänka på Commando, Trupp serien, Attack och Brigadserierna. Vad mera behövs för att få pojken i mig att hoppa högt av glädje. Detta är en film med 2 minuter tal och 20 minuter action och så skall det vara. Såg nyligen filmen på nytt för kanske 6-7 gången med italienskt tal, (Den engelska dubbningen är väldigt dålig tycker jag) och njöt varje minut.

Kommer Tarantino att kunna leva upp till detta?

[Cartman]

Av kommentarerna att döma i tråden så är det bara du och jag som har sett originalet. För mig en är den en personlig favorit inom genren. Jag älskar euro crime och euro horror från 1960- talet och framåt till kanske runt slutet av 1980- talet. På den vägen var det när jag trillade över denna film för många, många år sedan. Det är först iom Studio S Entertainments utgåva av filmen som den för mig verkligen kommer till sin rätt. Fram tills dess har den avnjutits på många olika sätt men aldrig på det sättet som den svenska DVDn erbjuder. Just denna film är så pass bra för dess råa ton, dialog och handling speciellt. Även om handlingen känns rätt förutsägbar på sina ställen så känns den fortfarande som en friskt fläkt i filmutbudet, tror personligen detta är en film som aldrig kommer att åldras på ett dåligt sätt.

Hoppas att Bo får någon form av cameo i filmen. Utöver det tror jag att filmen blir bra. Tarantino har ju sagt att det inte blir en remake rakt av utan att han utgår från originalet och att hans version blir mer som en hyllning. Räknar man med en remake bildruta för bildruta lär man väl bli besviken men annars finns väl förutsättningarna för att det blir en bra film. Tarantino har aldrig gjort en dålig film i mina ögon och han är helt fantasitsk som manusförfattare/regissör/filmnörd.

August 20th, 2008

Michael Fassbender, who played Stelios in 300, is now in talks for Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming World War II film Inglorious Bastards. Fassbander is German and speaks the language fluently.

So lets recap: Brad Pitt is signed on to star. Mike Myers and Eli Roth are also on board, and Nastassja Kinski, David Krumholtz and B.J. Novak are still in talks to join the cast.

MTV Movies Blog » Samuel L. Jackson Says “Oui” To Tarantino’s “Inglorious” Possibility
Published by Larry Carroll on Friday, September 19, 2008 at 12:34 pm.

Samuel L. Jackson“Pulp Fiction” shot him to superstardom, he had a hilarious-but-intense role in “Jackie Brown,” and eagle-eyed fans might have even noticed Samuel J. Jackson behind the piano in a brief “Kill Bill” cameo. So now that Quentin Tarantino has his much-hyped script for “Inglorious Bastards” completed, and half the world has seemingly read it, will he be playing the role of African-American role?

“I called him to find out if I had to learn French or not!” Jackson laughed when we asked him this week, insisting that he’d love to reteam with QT once again. “Because the only black person in the script spoke French.”

In the Tarantino script, the character of Marcel is a French movie theater projectionist who works for the film’s beautiful young female lead Shosannna. If SLJ was to take on the part, he’d have the tall order of reciting pretty much every line of his dialogue in the language of love.

He said, “so do you know any black French actors?” I said, “what the f***?!? Yeah, me!” I gave him the name of some guys. So yeah we had a small conversation about it. We’ll see what happens. I thought the script was a lot of fun.
