It's wierd to think of Quetin Tarantino making a World War Two movie. I think it's cool that Michael Madsen's gonna be in it. It'll definately go against the grain compared to other war movies today. Most war movies today tend to try and be real patriotic. But the name kinda says it all for this one.

I hope Tarantino gets around to making this film. I could just imagine the uber-cast that he could get. Considering that this would probably be likened to Thin Red Line on crack cast wise. People like Madsen, Keitel, Willis, Walken, Travolta and hell, anyone male actor in the business. Its going to be cool, IF he ever makes it. We will see.

I heard he has 3 scripts written for it. I don't know how that's gonna' work. All I know is, this type of movie leaves alot of room for cool dialogue, so hopefully we can get more of that Pulp Fiction-type talking. Not that there's anything wrong with Kill Bill Vol One, it's just that it doesn't have much dialogue to it (I guess that's the point). Maybe Vol Two will be different. Vol One rocked BTW. But it was no Pulp Fiction.

Update. Tarantino might split the film it two, similar to Kill Bill.

Tarantino also mentioned that he'll likely start the World War II film Inglorious Bastards after completing Grind House. He says he's been writing the script for five years and needs to add one more year to it. -MTV

He takes a long time to write something, maybe he needs to get others to help him out.

But I guess he's got a studio drooling in the wings waiting for the screenplay to be finished.

He only has a short amount of films out and they all are great (kills bills argue 4 some ) but both mainstream and nerds like us like him (most nerds), but i just have the feeling that this or somewhere along the line he's going to fall flat on his face. Maybe with this one.
Don't get me wrong I want to see it rule he's been a huge inspiration. Every director has a few bad movies in them, the cool thing about him is he just has "weaker movies" if you want to go as far as to say that, but I feel that it's either going to be this or grind house which will jsut bomb.

Wow this boards been goin for a long time. Was just wondering if this film will ever be made?

It will be made eventually. Tarantino obviously got side-tracked with Kill Bill, and that took a long time. Then he got side-tracked again with Grindhouse, but I'm sure it'll happen soon. IMDb has a release year of 2008, but god knows if that is accurate or not. The problem is that Tarantino hasn't really commented on it very heavily, and no one is thinking to ask him about it. Too bad, it will be an interesting film.


Cheers, Chismeister.

I've been waiting a while for information regarding QT latest project.

And as it looks like he finally finished the script for Inglorious Basterds:

He's dividing the script in chapters like he did with Pulp Fiction, so i guess it will a non-linear flick. I like that!

Pretty amazing that this thread as been around since '03.  A few days ago I caught the report that Tarantino finished the script and is planning to move into pre-production soon.  T's scripts tend to get leaked early, so this may be floating around the interweb pretty soon.

I think this will be his best since Pulp Fiction.
It's nice to see that he is getting out of the "grindhouse mode" and moving on to more mature work.
And for thenewpulp, this doesn't seem like his kind of film, but you know it's going to be good. Quentin hasn't really made a movie that I thought was bad at all. Even "Death Proof" had it's moments and wasn't bad.

the script is a bit dissapointing to say the least

I enjoyed this script a lot. I think it is his best since Kill Bill pt 1 and possibly better than that. I could clearly see Brad Pitt in the role of Aldo.

My biggest surprise was the small role that the Bastards (or Basterds as QT spells them) play in the script. This is much more of a revenge flick again centered on a female protagonist with the basterds only forming one strand of a 3 strand story (of course being QT all 3 strands come together neatly at the end.) Where I had always been led to believe this was an homage to the Dirty dozen or something.

It was nearly a really great script but the ending let it down in a big way, I really hope that somebody talks him out of the ending before production begins. I do not want to give anything away but let us say that he re-writes history and not only do I not think it works but I fail to see the reason for it. The story would have just been as good had he stuck to the true history of WWII. I tend to believe he will be talked out of it, we will see.

Looking forward to seeing this movie, I think QT could well be back on form.

I was amazed at all the numerous spelling errors. He even spelled bastards wrong throughout the script. Even the title!!
