JackFetch Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Quentin Tarantino is once more going into battle with the Weinstein Co. as he readies his new screenplay "Inglorious Bastards" for an October shoot. The writer-director, who has enjoyed a long association with Harvey and Bob Weinstein, is reteaming with them for his long-gestating World War II action tale about a "Dirty Dozen"-like group of soldiers behind enemy lines. The Weinstein Co. will co-finance the film, distribute it domestically and oversee production and worldwide marketing. Since the production will film in Europe and is looking toward an accelerated production schedule so that it can be finished in time to submit to May's Festival de Cannes, the Weinsteins are looking to join forces with a major studio to come aboard to co-finance in exchange for foreign rights. No cast is yet in place, though Brad Pitt's name has surfaced. Lawrence Bender, Tarantino's producer since the days of "Reservoir Dogs," will produce, with Erica Steinberg, who had producing roles on the "Kill Bill" movies and "Grindhouse," serving as exec producer. Repped by WMA, Tarantino acquired the title and remake rights to Enzo Castellari's 1978 film of the same name, but his screenplay is said to be an original. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/conten...f724e567d5084e2 Tarrentino does WWII? That should be interesting. Quote

Dread Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 Episode 49 will be an Inglorious Bastards extravaganza...the original that is. Quote
Molly Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 I want to make sweet, tender love to this film. Quote
Dread Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 I'm of two minds with this one. 1. I have a great love and respect for the original of which this bears no resemblance but it looks fucking great. 2. Brad Pitt's entire inclusion in this film is in the trailer and I'm very worried about Eli Roth as a leading man. Quote
Dread Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 And the spelling...what the fuck is up with that? Quote
Molly Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 It's just Tarantino being Taratino. Quote

Molly Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 I'll be here all week, try the veal, and don't forget to tip your waitress. Quote
JackFetch Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Posted March 24, 2009 The script has leaked online. Click here if you want to read it. Quote
SuaveStar Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 Bit of a bump. I just saw a trailer, it looks fun, I may go and see it. It's out here on preview 15th of August, and I don't know if it was because it's before 9PM it's just being called Inglorious. Quote
Molly Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 This is my Anniversary date. I'm fucking pumped. Quote
Aaron Robinson Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 I saw this about an hour ago. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. I thought Death Proof was boring, with the awesome car chase at the end being the only thing that redeemed it. So I came in a bit unsure of how much I’d ultimately enjoy it. But it was fantastic. The last hour or so just kept building the tension, right up until the awesome, gory finale. In short: A++. Would watch again. Quote
JackFetch Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Posted August 24, 2009 Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds dominated the weekend box office, earning an estimated $37.6 million domestically and $27.5 million internationally for a worldwide debut of $65.1 million. It's the biggest Tarantino opening ever at the domestic box office, beating Kill Bill Vol. 2's $25.1 million in 2004. "Basterds," which cost about $70 million to make, provided a much-needed boost for struggling domestic distributor The Weinstein Company, which co-financed the film with international distributor Universal Pictures. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=58296 Quote
Molly Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 Loved this film. It's not my favorite Tarantino film (Reservoir Dogs), or his best (Jackie Brown), but it's certainly his most fun, and his most epic. THEY FUCKING KILL HITLER!!! IT WAS AWESOME. Quote
Venneh Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 For the two of you who went and saw it last night, it worth spending the money to go and see it in the theatre? This would be my first Tarantino movie that I'll actually be able to see all the way through, not to mention in a movie theatre. Quote
Missy Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 Yeah, it's worth seeing in the theater. Quote
