If he plans to do this film justice, he needs to do more action films. He just hasn’t gotten there yet. Kill Bill was terrific, but he needs to do more so that he’ll be prepared. Preparation=success.

When it comes to QT, I wouldn’t agree. He didn’t have much “preparation” in the crime genre before Reservoir Dogs, and look what happened?!
I think all his past films have been his preparation. But I doubt hes going to shoot this until he really feels the script is as perfect as it can be.

It’s official: Quentin Tarantino’s World War II opus, “Inglorious Bastards,â€

Yeah up to date news that the project is still going nowhere ???
I know. It’s a bit disconcerting. He’s been talking about this project for ages.
QT is 45-46 NOW, by the time he does this hes gonna be 50-51 AT LEAST. Most of his actors like Tim Roth, Mike Madsen are older than he is, so its gonna be a bunch of 55 + year old guys in a WW II Men On A Mission flick? WTF? He better finish the script asap and just shoot it. Or just do it with a a group of much younger guys and forget the old Dogs gang. Maybe have 1 or 2 of em as Head Seargents or something.
If QT ever does Bastards, you know how long hes gonna take off before he does another film? I think IB may be the last QT film we ever see before he retires (age 55 according to QT). That is unless he does more films before IB and saves it for later.
If he never makes Inglorious Bastards, I’ll will seek him up and kick his buttocks.
I find it hard to believe that believe that a 600-page script is gonna go unused. We just have to be patient.

I agree. I’d rather have a great movie than a rushed piece of shit.
That’s not exactly what I meant, but you are right. So many pages = a lot of cleaning up in the script. I mean, there’s probably a second draft, right? What I actually meant was: if you write 600 pages and call it your best work, you’re not gonna throw it in the trash, are you?
Btw, does someone know the name of the music 0:33 into this video? Apparently, it’s Morricone, but I don’t recognize it. Any cinephiles?
Just recalled. Its one of the tracks from For a Few Dollars More. I think its from the bank safe robbery sequence.
Haven’t seen the film but I’ll check out the previews. I need to finish watching the Dollars trilogy anyways.
from the new issue of Sight and Sound:
Quentin has just started writing …
[quote]How is ‘Inglorious Bastards’ going?
I’ve got tons of material and a lot of stuff written but now I’ve figured out what to do, I gotta start from page one, square one. I started just before I came on this trip and brought the stuff with me but I haven’t had a chance to continue yet. But maybe on the flight back home I’ll come back into it. I love writing in other countries. It’s a lot of fun[/quote]
man, Inglorious Bastards better rock my balls off.
is it a full interview?
He’s starting from page 1? Are you fucking kidding me?
Hes gotta mean hes adapting it into the actual shooting script now. Editing it down. He has 600 pages (or more) to work with.

He should do a movie about Steve Urkel, it’ll be like the Ernest movies but with Steve! That would really kick ass.

from the recent sight & sound interview. they don’t talk anything more about IB.
I’ve just been on You Tube looking at different clips of QT and came upon his interview with Charlie Rose which I haven’t seen before. Anyway, firstly I would just like to quote part of one of my previous posts…

For some reason, and I know I musn’t think this just yet, but Inglorious Bastards seems to me to be his “true” masterpiece. Like how you remember a director for one stand out film. Right now, the greatest film I have ever seen is Pulp Fiction. Something just tells me “not for long…”

QT tells CR that his IB script is getting bigger, that he couldn’t find a way to end it. CR asked him about this. There follows a very interesting segment about IB, one which makes me cream my pants in ecstacy. I’m going to stop the video at that and watch the rest later, it was that good…
QT: "You know what it was… I just couldn’t let go off it. I mean there was this weird thing about it, where I had directed Jackie Brown and then I had acted on this play, and then it was then this writer in me - ok now, deal with me, alright. Let me take over. I’m like ‘great, it’s time for you to take over’. I let him take over, and I just became too precious about the page. It just had to be the greatest thing I had ever done and I just couldn’t stop writing, I couldn’t turn my head off. It’s just like, I kept coming up with another idea after that and another idea after that… and it’s like this is a movie, alright, it can’t just keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger, and it did but I was so in love with the page I couldn’t stop. Now after I’ve done Kill Bill, I know how to end it, I know how to do all of that, but at that moment when, you know, everything was about that, I just couldn’t get away from the desk.
CR: “Do you view this World War II movie as your masterpiece? So far, having not filmed a single page of the script?”
QT: “Well, I would say what I have written so far, alright, is the best stuff I’ve ever written.”
