The Lost Art of Inglourious Basterds
Some more very cool custom Inglourious Basterds poster art, this time at Juxtapox Magazine. [thanks to Pete for the link]
And its all for charity benefitting the victims of the earthquake in Haiti:
Upper Playground teamed up with Quentin Tarantino and SA Studios to release the "Lost Art of Inglourious Basterds" to benefit the victims of the Haiti Earthquake. On February 18th, 2010 from 6 - 9pm, the world will get to preview and purchase the "Lost Art of Inglourious Basterds" at The Upper Playground Art Gallery in Downtown Los Angeles.
Its a shame that this is an in-person event only. They could have sold a bunch of these unsigned over the net for $5 or $10 each.
Also, be sure to check out Pete's painting of Quentin that manages to work in references to several QT films.

Hate Mail
Thought you might enjoy some of the hate mail I get for having the nerve to run a website about a guy making movies.
I am guessing your website is all about Quentin Tarintino,I saw 'Inglorious Basterds',
was bored by the dialog, and sickened by the violence.Mr Tarintino seems to take every opportunity to show this..and he should be arrested, or committed to an asylum,
and yet, you dedicate your precious time maintaining a website in in his honor.In this particular movie it seems that the audience were meant to relate to or support the 'heros' regular mutilation and reveling in taking human life.
Do you notice that so often in Quentins movies the 'good' guys take some pleasue in revenge, or laugh at someones pain or misfortune ?
This is not what a good soldier, hero, or ordinary person ever does.Quentin is unintentionally revealing his sadistic nature, he is emotionally defective, an idiot psychotic.
And yet, you pathetic worms, dedicate a website to the morbid, uninspiring tripe that he regularly vomits onto the screen.
You are participating in his self absorbed, violent fantasy.You disgust me.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
You are the enemies of humanity, worse than Nazis ever were.
So I'm worse than the Nazi's, but he's the one advocating that Tarantino be arrested for filming fictional violence. Just can't make this shit up.

Tarantino A Has-Been?
Quentin Tarantino versus Sylvester Stallone is being called,
"The Gunfight at the Has-Been Corral"
They are basically talking about Stallone's The Expendables versus QT's Inglourious Basterds. Yikes. This is one of the harshest mainstream press articles I've ever seen about Quentin. Get a load of this.
Tarantino's insistence on making his film became something of a joke. A journalist for The Irish Times quipped: "Inglorious Bastards, a war movie that may eventually resemble The irty Dozen merged with Cross of Iron, has been predicted more often than the second coming of the Lord."
The film is finally in production, with a cast that includes Brad Pitt and Samuel L Jackson, but already there are ructions because Tarantino wants to make it into two three-hour movies. After the Grindhouse fiasco, however, he is facing strong studio opposition.

Mike Myers Added To Bastards
This one's a head-scratcher - Mike Myers has been cast in Inglorious Bastards [thanks Saiaf]. He'll play a British military mastermind who hatches a plot to kill Nazi leaders. Well, at least he isn't playing 'Fat Bastard'.
I'm getting a little concerned about the cast so far. I'm sure QT will be able to pull this together, but it seems more like the cast of a WW2 spoof movie than I would expect.

Adam Sandler Out Of Inglorious Bastards
One of the earliest casting rumors for Inglorious Bastards was Adam Sandler - way back in 2003, but it seems that Quentin's rush to get this movie completed has conflicted with Sandler's schedule and he won't be a part of the project.
Yeah it's true. It is, and I read the script, it's fantastic. But I'm shooting at the very same time. I won't be able to do it. I'm doing a movie with Judd Apatow at the same time so that's not going to happen, but I did read it. It is awesome."

Inglorious Bastards (1977) DVD Special Edition
The original Inglorious Bastards film that provided Quentin his inspiration for his upcoming film of the same name is being re-released on DVD in two versions - a standard DVD release and a 3 disc special edition.
In the hour-plus making-of featurette on disc two, skip past the first 40 minutes of rusty remembrances to get to how special effects guru Gino "Bombardone" De Rossi built balsa-wood artillery after the Italian police confiscated the production's dummy guns. (Also good: behind-the-scenes footage of the explosive bridge and train station set pieces.) According to De Rossi, the film called for more than 450 pounds of gunpowder, which explains how pyrotechnics remained fresh even as the military vehicles and stuntmen were recycled from shot to shot.But the main attraction is certainly the dynamic between Tarantino and Castellari, mutually starstruck as the younger director teases his next feature ("I realized it's like two movies, and so the first one is what I'm doing now") and debates whether to co-opt his idol's love for slow-motion action sequences.

Quentin has confirmed that he's finished with the Inglorious Bastards screenplay and is heading directly into pre-production though no casting decisions have yet been made.
"I don't want it to feel like a period film. I want it to feel current. "I want it to feel right now. One of the things I have to battle against is 30 years of Nazi-occupation TV movies where we've all seen the big streets and the vintage cars and the Swastikas, and we've just seen that ad nauseum.""This is a modern, in-your-face movie.

Inglorious Bastards - Another Split Film?
Here we go again. AICN is reporting that Inglorious Bastards will be 2 films [thanks Andrew].
I really hated the idea of splitting up Kill Bill into two movies, but as it turned out, I liked the result. The whole flavor of Kill Bill 2 was very different from Kill Bill 1, so the split worked.
But I just don't like the trend that I'm seeing. Kill Bill - split. Grindhouse - split. Inglorious Bastards - split.

Tim Roth Clueless On Inglorious Bastards Status
Since Tarantino mentioned having Inglorious Bastards ready for Cannes in 2009 there have been a few stories about him backing out of a film festival to work on the film. I still have a hard time believing we'll see this film in 2009 and the report that Tim Roth hasn't heard anything from QT just cements that idea.
In order to get this film to Cannes next year, shooting has to begin soon - this fall at the latest. But in order to shoot the movie, he's got to finalize his cast and make sure that they don't have other commitments already lined up that will conflict with Inglorious Bastards.

Tarantino Promises Inglorious Bastards in 2009
Tarantino is making very public promises to finish Inglorious Bastards. At the Cannes Film Festival, he told the audience he would have the film ready for the 2009 Festival. Here's the money quote from the video linked above:
"The next movie I'm doing is my WWII movie Inglorious Bastards. I actually just finished the first draft of the script and when I go home I'll be finishing it up ... and if all goes well... I will be here 2009 at Cannes with my war film Inglorious Bastards.
Lots of folks are skeptical about that date - even making references to the long-ago promised Chinese Democracy album from Guns N Roses.
Personally, I think there's no way in hell it'll be ready by this time next year - it still has to be cast, filmed and edited. If QT is really done with the script, 2010 is more likely.
Thanks to Guillaume and Filias and Matt for the heads up on this.

"I've got this Word War Two script I'm working on called Inglorious Bastards, which has been around for a while, and it'll be the biggest thing I've ever done. I probably have another year of writing on that left. I can't say it's going to be my next movie because I have to finish the script, and I have to like it, but it's what I'm working on."

Inglorious Bastards Cast Discussion
QT is being asked about Inglorious Bastards while he's out doing publicity for Death Proof outside the US. Here he is addressing some of the many casting rumors that have floated around.
I never said it was going to star Bruce Willis, Schwarzenegger and Stallone. I don't know who's going to be in it at this point. I have to write it first. It always starts with me and the characters. Whenever I cast an actor and try to write the character around it I always end up regretting it, so I always try to write the character and cast the actor to fit the character.

QT talked a bit about Inglorious Bastards while over in Germany, but he says he doesn't want to say too much as it might "jinx it".
If I speak about it, I will jinx it. I will talk about it when it is done.It is sort of a spaghetti western set in World War 2. I am not going to call it this, but if I had a subtitle for it, it would be Once Upon a Time in Nazi-occupied France.

Competition For Inglorious Bastards
If Quentin is still serious about making Inglorious Bastards his next film, he may want to get moving on the project ASAP. It looks like Joel Silver and Zak Penn are going to be re-making The Dirty Dozen.
Inglorious Bastards isn't the same film, but its similar enough that it could cause box office troubles if they both get released near the same time. And given the box office problems that GRINDHOUSE had, taking that risk might not be such a hot idea.
So Quentin, get moving!

Sly Stallone Interested In Inglorious Bastards
The old rumor that Sly Stallone will be Inglorious Bastards is back again with Stallone saying that he'd love to do the film. [thanks to everybody who sent this in]
Stallone also claims that he passed up the chance to play a role in Grind House (I assume the role that Kurt Russell ultimately got) because of some scheduling conflicts.
Back to this Inglorious Bastards rumor with Stallone. I can see it happening, but I sure hope it doesn't. I really, really dislike Stallone and think he may be the worst possible choice to appear in a Tarantino film. The man literally can't pronounce words right, how the heck is he going to be able to deliver Tarantino-esque dialogue. So lets all pray for more scheduling conflicts from Sly.
UPDATE: LatinoReview.com is reporting that Stallone is a "lock" for Inglorious Bastards.

Grind House Details, Plus Bastards Info
As previously reported, Grind House will be in 2 parts. Robert Rodriguez part is called Planet Terror and Tarantino's section will be Death Proof. Rodriguez film has a zombie theme and Tarantino's is a slasher film, but with a car.
The film will also feature trailers for fictional movies:
"That's one of the things we're looking the most forward to, shooting the phony trailers that will play in between the movies. I'm working out my blaxploitation trailer, and possibly a kung-fu trailer, a sexploitation trailer, a spaghetti-western trailer. I just need to kind of work them out a little bit. I'm just getting them down there, but I think for sure I'm going to do the sexploitation trailer, which is called Cowgirls in Sweden. "As for Inglorious Bastards, here's what QT had to say:
...will probably be the next thing I do after I finish Grind House. That will be my next big Mount Everest, climb-the-mountain kind of project.
I've got a big portion of it done. I've been waiting for all the Kill Bill stuff to be over with, and then to maybe chill on it a little bit, and then [get] ready to finish writing it. ... I have like five years of writing behind me now, and I just need to add one more year to it.

Madsen also dropped a few names as folks already cast:
Michael Madsen (of course)
Adam Sandler (long rumored - QT and he are pals)
Tim Roth (first I've heard, but not suprising
Eddie Murphy (say what?)
I certainly didn't see Eddie Murphy coming, and considering he's done pretty much nothing but kids movies for the past few years I figured he'd taken himself out of the serious movie game. But, I think he's actually a great choice. Because of his stand-up comedy roots, he's great at the kind of on-screen conversational banter that QT loves to write.

Schwarzenegger In Bastards?
Here's what Quentin supposedly said:
"I've said it once and I am going to say it again. I want Bruce, Sly and Arnold for my World War II epic. I have always dream of having these 3 superstars together in a movie. Initially Inglorious Bastards was suppose to be in production way back in 1998 with these casts but I shifted my attention on my other projects such as Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction and Sin City.No source, just a couple of quotes. And it sounds awfully silly for Tarantino to have shifted his attention to Pulp Fiction 4 years after its release.

Inglorious Bastards Split?
Yeah, we were talking about Inglorious Bastards a couple of hours a go," Madsen told FilmFocus, "he's got an interesting idea of how to make it. I think he's going to cut it up into a couple of different parts, 'cos it's a big story to tell and he doesn't want to cram it all into one show. I don't know the whole story of how he's going to do it but eventually we'll get there, you know."Please tell me that cutting Bastards into multiple movies is absolutely necessary. Splitting Kill Bill ticked off alot of people, and probably hurt the movie's chance at being seriously considered for many awards. Lets hope we aren't headed down that road again over a film that might be 30 minutes longer than the studio would like. Please, QT - one movie.
Madsen also told us the project was one very close to him, "I'm looking forward to doing it," he said, "my father's brother was killed in World War 2, my dad was in the Navy and my cousin Kenny was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. I've always wanted to play a soldier and being able to do it was Quentin is obviously going to be a great time. A great experience, you know. I think his take on it is gonna be... different. It ain't gonna be the norm that's for sure."

More Confirmation Of Inglorious Bastards
"I want do a Mandarin language movie, but I'm not sure it'll be the next movie. It'll probably be the next movie I do after the one I do next. I'm doing Inglorious Bastards next. It's my bunch-of-guys-on-a-mission movie. It's my World War 2 movie."I'm glad to see that QT is being consistent with what he's telling people - that indicates to me that he has likely made a decision and isn't just winging it when asked about future plans.
The film will star Michael Madsen for definite, more on that later in the week, and names like Adam Sandler and Bo Svenson have been circling around the project. Tarantino told us it was too early to talk cast, but that he has some people in mind.

Inglorious Bastards DELAYED!?
"My next movie is gonna be another kung fu that's gonna blow your asses off. Everyone still thinks I'm doing Inglorious Bastards next but before I do I want to do something much smaller," Tarantino said.Maybe this is bullshit, though it wouldn't really suprise me if it was true. The Total Film forum doesn't have anything posted about this story just yet. The story has been picked up by loads of news sites though.
"The next movie will be in Mandarin. I enjoyed shooting all the Japanese stuff in Kill Bill so much that this whole film will be entirely in Mandarin.
"If you're not up to watching it with subtitles, I really want to do a full-on dubbed version. Maybe shooting two Kill Bill movies has spoiled me but fuck it - sue me."

Tarantino At Venice Film Festival
Also, thanks to MP for sending in a series of photos of QT at the event. Much appreciated.
The Guardian story does end with a strange paragraph about Inglorious Bastards:
Tarantino is also reported to have bought the rights to reproduce a B-movie by another of his heroes, Enzo Castellari, with Samuel Jackson and George Clooney tipped to star in the remake of his 1977 Second World War comedy, Inglorious Bastards.As far as I know, thats not correct. I haven't heard Clooney's name mentioned in a long time (though it wouldn't suprise me), have never heard Jackson's name associated w/ this movie, and it is most definately not a remake.

Inglorious Bastards Details
"When I eventually makemy World War II movie, Inglorious Bastards, it will use Robert Aldrich's The Dirty Dozen and a lot of those late-'60s/early-'70s epic war movies as a starting-off point - pictures like Where Eagles Dare.
"More so even than Kill Bill - it will be my true spaghetti Western-influenced film, but set in Nazi-occupied France instead of the Old West. I see it as a time when you had these no-man's lands in Europe that really did resemble the Western landscapes of Sergio Leone [director of the Clint Eastwood 'Dollars' trilogy]."

What Took Tarantino So Long?
There's also this question: Who, exactly, is his audience supposed to be this time around? The college kids Tarantino connected with in the early 1990s likely still consider themselves fans. But at this point, burned out long ago on all the Tarantino wannabes of the late '90s, they might prefer to give their box-office dollars to the more playful and droll Coen Brothers (whose Intolerable Cruelty also opens Oct. 10). As for today's college kids -- will they have even seen Reservoir Dogs, much less care about its director's motor-mouthed, movie-obsessed aesthetic?
Michael Madsen Confirms Vega Brothers Movie
"All I can say is Quentin wants to make The Vega Brothers. He already has it in his head. But it has to be soon. Maybe next year? It will be set in Amsterdam."If it is made next year, it would have to be after Inglorious Bastards because that is apparently next in line for Quentin.

Vega Brothers Rumors Re-Surface
The Vega Brothers: Long ago it was thought the two brother characters who appeared in separate Tarantino flicks would come together in one movie - now could it be finally going ahead? 'Tim' has the details: "I auditioned for a role and got chatting with the lovely casting director who indicated the "vega brothers" movie is going ahead. She says it will be huge because its a huge ensemble, and says it's going to have Travolta in it, Madsen, Samuel L. Jackson and all the Tarantino regulars - but a lot of roles available for young women, because it's set in bars and nightclubs, hence, strippers, barmaids, waitress roles will be available. Tarantino wants to do it later this year. I would so love to be a part of this but she said nearly every male role is a 'name'".The second to last sentence in that snippit seems unlikely, as Tarantino has talked quite a bit about beginning work on Inglorious Bastards (a war film) once Kill Bill has wrapped up. As a 'response' to the Dark Horizons rumor, Sebastian from the QT Archives then posted an explanation of why 'Vega Brothers' is a rumor and nothing more.
