Inglourious Basterds

[AWA]

Alright, alright - so leave this here then.

But I'll bet you all 10 posts that this will get done and start next month. ;

The script has apparently leaked and supposedly there is some potential to piss off a lot of Germans with this.

Anyone with a leaked script feel free to PM me

Ok, so now that the last of the casting has been filled in and shooting has started, here's the the thread. Here's a first look at the poster and info on the casting.

According to this blurb, the title really is intended to be Inglorious Basterds. The poster linked by Antoine has it spelled correctly though.

Quentin Tarantino's upcoming movie Inglorious Bastards has caused confusion among film fans after the spelling of its title was changed.

The movie - starring Brad Pitt - was originally billed with the standard spelling Inglorious Bastards - but studio bosses at Universal Pictures have now changed the name to Inglourious Basterds.

A spokesman for the film's British publicists says, "We are not entirely sure the reasons why it has been changed. We think it just has to be one of those Tarantino-esque things.

"All we do know is that is definitely the title from now on."

The film is due for release next year.

I believe the correct spelling is Basturds.

For a second, I was excited too see Ted Levine get some work. I can't say I know who this guy is (keeping with Tarantino's casting choices).

Between American Gangster, Assassination Of Jesse James, and Monk, I'd say he's been keeping active.

Samuel L. Jackson and Maggie Cheung join the cast.

Maggie Cheung?!?!

I actually consider myself somewhat of a Tarantino apologist as I unabashedly love Pulp Fiction and, even moreso, Jackie Brown (which I honestly feel is a genuinely great film). However, I can't say that the Kill Bills and Death Proof were anything more than "fun," and this project was of almost no interest to me. Until now. Cheung is luminous and I'll probably check it out for her alone.

Sam Jackson? Well, I certainly hope Spike Lee has another WW2 film ready himself by the time Bastards is released, so he can take advantage of a superior filmmmaker's project by disparaging its treatment of blacks, etc. etc.

[Cold Bishop]

Dammit Tarantino... you got me. I'll watch nearly anything with Maggie Cheung.

To the script-readers: I imagine she'll be performing in French, no? She's been needing a good high-profile English language role to show off how beautifully she speaks the language. I always found it shocking she never broke into Hollywood (although likely a blessing).

More pics and video.

Morricone a bastard?

[hot_locket]

Wow, I had no idea he was still alive (how could I forget that acceptance speech?).

[Antoine Doinel]

Apparently, Eli Roth is shooting the propaganda film within the film.

First official stills.

Brad looks a bit like Paul Newman, circa Color Of Money.

That secretly looks horrible, but I'm too in love with QT to believe that's possible.

[moviscop]

It looks like a still from Miracle at St. Anna.

This pile of garbege is coming out on August 21.

Some more set photos, including shots of the film posters of Diane Kruger's character, Bridget von Hammersmark.

Tarantino loses Morricone to Tornatore.

[exte]

English motherfucker.

I knew this was too good to be true, but it seems what ultimately happened was a schedule conflict and it would cost too much money extending post long enough to where Morricone would become available.

Tarantino should still go with an old Italian composer for this, like Pino Donaggio or Riz Ortolani. There's also Morricone's son, Andrea Morricone.
