Tarantino's 'Inglorious Bastards' Ready To Roll! Or Is It 'Basterds'?

Posted 7/11/08 3:27 pm EST by in News


Quentin TarantinoStory by Sebastian DiNatale

Finally. After about nine years in the making, Quentin Tarantino has officially finished the screenplay and is seeking producers for his latest picture, "Inglourious Basterds."

For those of you who are skim-reading, allow me to reiterate the title: "Inglourious Basterds." That's right, the latest version of the script that has been leaked apparently has foregone spellcheck, not only on the title page, in what is supposedly Tarantino's frantic handwriting, but also throughout the script. One hypothesis notes his bid to get it entered into the next Cannes Film Festival, which would explain skipping the proofread. Or is Tarantino's unusual spelling techique all part of some masterful plan? Time will tell. Read More...

Uma Thurman Reveals The Animated Future of 'Kill Bill'

Posted 4/22/08 5:09 pm EST by in News


Uma ThurmanTwo year ago Quentin Tarantino piqued the interest of film fans everywhere when he promised two new anime companion films to "Kill Bill," one supposedly about the origin of The Bride and the other about Bill himself.

We don't know what's happened to the story of The Bride, but the other animated film is going to blow you away, insisted star Uma Thurman.

"His anime stuff is strong," she smiled.

We say we don't know what happened to the story of the Bride, by the way, because Thurman claims to have never recorded a voice-over for the anticipated project.

"It has nothing to do with me," she said. "It has to do with another character. You'll have to see." Read More...

Quentin Tarantino Gets Wild With Fergie In Vegas

Posted 3/31/08 3:33 pm EST by in Photos


We know Quentin Tarantino likes to party -- his unflinching panache for leather jackets is testiment to that -- so I guess it's only natural that he hooked up with Fergie -- whom he shares a b-day with -- to throw a wild celebratory soirée in Vegas. Of course, the big question is where was hubbie-to-be Josh Duhamel in all this? Back in LA slamming down jello shots with Pam Grier?

'Hell Ride': A Sundance Review

Posted 1/24/08 4:15 pm EST by in Reviews, Sundance


It's got more gunplay than your local post office, enough close-ups of the female posterior to make Sir Mix-a-Lot blush, and so many dirty words it'll likely be banned before you finish reading this sentence. Quentin Tarantino and his motley crew call it "Hell Ride," and it sure is one helluva something.

What, exactly, depends on your own personal tolerance for murder, mayhem, mud-wrestling and Michael Madsen in a tree, doing an owl imitation.

The flick, which premiered this week at Sundance, follows two warring biker posses. Set in a surreal world where every woman wants a roll in the hay, and every man knows he can shoot another man in the crotch without any fear of interference from the police, it revolves around three keys labeled "666," the 1976 murder of a biker babe and a whole lot of vengeance.

Tim Roth Still Up For Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglorious' WWII Flick

Posted 12/12/07 12:26 pm EST by in News


Tim RothIt's official: Quentin Tarantino's World War II opus, "Inglorious Bastards," has now taken longer than World War II itself. The movie, about a group of scoundrels given a suicide mission through Nazi-occupied France is reportedly a 600 page masterpiece. But just one would be enough for Tim Roth (that would be the title page), who for years has been rumored to star in the "Dirty Dozen" homage alongside Michael Madsen.

"I love [Quentin] to bits. If he ever does it of course I'd like to be in it. It's entirely up to him," Roth said. "It would be fun to be in a big Second World War movie. My dad was in that war." Read More...

Danny Trejo Talks 'Machete' Feature

Posted 8/6/07 12:06 pm EST by in News, Video


"If you're going to hire Machete to kill the bad guy, you had better make sure the bad guy...isn't you!" Danny Trejo's now-immortalized anti-hero from Robert Rodriguez's faux trailer was one of the few universally-acclaimed parts of "Grindhouse," the dead-on-arrival double-feature from the "El Mariachi" director and Quentin Tarantino.

Rumors of a feature-length leap for the Machete character began almost immediately, given the audience's enthusiastic response to the no-nonsense, ass-kicking, revenge-seeking Mexican immigrant played by Trejo, a fan-favorite character actor and frequent collaborator of Rodriguez. It's a movie that's close to becoming a reality according to the star...if Bob and Harvey Weinstein can just be convinced to pony up the dough (See Trejo's message to the Weinsteins below, and then read about the film's status after the jump).

Dennis Hopper Rides Again For Tarantino

Posted 5/24/07 2:47 pm EST by in News


Earlier this year, "Easy Rider" icon Peter Fonda paid tribute to his motorcycle movie lineage with an enjoyably evil role in "Ghost Rider." Now, his legendary partner-in-crime is eager to do the same...with some help from Quentin Tarantino. "I am doing a motorcycle movie this year that Quentin Tarantino is producing," Dennis Hopper told us this week, confirming rumors that he'd been cast in the currently-filming action film "Hell Ride," which co-stars the pic's writer and director, Larry Bishop.

The old-school flick, which tells the story of three tough guys (veteran "Kill Bill 2” actor Bishop, Michael Madsen and "24” heartthrob Eric Balfour) settling a score between them, is described as a modern day "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly," and is currently filming in the Los Angeles area. "I am playing Eddie 'Scratch' Zero," laughed Hopper, a "Blue Velvet"-like wickedness growing across his face. "And I couldn't possibly begin telling you who that is, but he is weird enough."

Adding that "I know Quentin and I love all of his work," the actor who so memorably delivered Tarantino's dialogue in "True Romance" added that when Tarantino and Bishop asked him to hop back on a hog one more time, he couldn't say no.

In other news, Hopper revealed to MTV that he hopes to step behind the camera again soon. "I am going to direct another movie this next year," said the tireless counter-culture icon, who recently turned 71. Hopper also will be seen in two more films coming out later this year. "I just did a thing with Charlize Theron, who produced her first movie," he said of the drama. "I play her father in it, and it's a terrific thing called 'Ferris Wheel.' [Another is] a wonderful thing with Penelope Cruz and Sir Ben Kingsley called 'Elegy,' based on the Philip Roth novel 'The Dying Animal,'" Hopper said of the impressively-cast sexual drama, which also includes Patricia Clarkson, Deborah Harry and Peter Sarsgaard. "I play Ben Kingsley's best friend. We are both womanizers and college professors, and I am giving him advice on how to have an affair with a younger woman."
