When I posted the report from the set of Inglourious Basterds (click here to read it if you haven’t checked it out yet), I included some candid pictures of the set that were sent to me, and one of them showed a marquee poster of “Stolz der Nation“, which is gracing the outside of the notorious cinemateque. I promised to make that our next exclusive picture, so here it is, click the image to …

Have I announced this and am I a few days late? Probably. Can I still not believe I did this? Very much so. Was I really blown away and could’ve taken more notes? Correct. At any rate, this might well constitute one of the coolest things this website has ever had to offer, followed by our first 2007 interview with Tarantino maybe. Two weeks ago, I went to Berlin and spent a day on …

As promised, to make up for yesterday’s unavailability of our website, here’s the next exclusive picture from Quentin Tarantino’s highly anticipated next film Inglourious Basterds. As you may know, the movie reverts in part around the premiere of a Nazi propaganda film called Stolz der Nation (Pride of the Nation), which stars Fredrick Zoller, a German sniper, played by Daniel Brühl. This movie within the movie was of directed by Eli Roth, who pulled …

As you may have noticed, the website was unavailable for more than 12 hours. I am very sorry for that, I have no idea what caused this problem, but at least we’re back now. I’m trying to find out what happened to make sure it won’t happen again. Again, my apologies, I’ll make it up by posting something cool tomorrow! – Sebastian

Here’s some random Basterds stuff to fill a boring post-lunch lull. As you know, I love chit-chatting about random gossip and news items that come through the news services of that quasi-monopolistic search engine company I don’t want to mention right now. Here’s a quote that caught my eye that I thought was very well-written and somehow fitting and funny even though I’m not sure if it’s entirely positive or a bit sceptical. It …

If you’ve followed our recent coverage, you might already be anxiously waiting for this. As Inglourious Basterds nears its wrapping date (and a huge party, I suspect), we’re proud to present a few EXCLUSIVE pictures from the film.
One of the central characters in the movie is Bridget von Hammersmarck. A Tarantinoesque version of Marlene Dietrich, a femme fatale of sorts, a beautiful celebrity and also… a spy. Bridget is played by Diane Kruger, one …

Not all hope is lost my friends. After Quentin Tarantino revealed his top 20 favorites both in the Spaghetti Western and in the grindhouse genre (“That grindhouse list made me start coming up with mine! But it’s a good list…there’s a lot of films that … are on here.”  he said), I started asking some long nagging questions. I felt as the ambassador of the fan community, I should ask what is going on …

Earlier this week we exclusively treated you to Quentin’s official list of favorite Spaghetti Westerns (check it out if you missed that), and this weekend we’re taking it another step and we’ll present his top 20 list of old grindhouse movies. Our “Man from Hollywood” actually placed very high importance on this list, not only because The Deuce applied a wider definition of the term “grindhouse” (our sister site had posted its own Top …

UPDATE: Dear readers. The Quentin Tarantino Archives have enjoyed a technical upgrade within the last few hours. If you had problems surfing our websites during that time, we apologize. Huge changes were made on the back-end side and that comes with minor problems and is normal. If you encounter any errors or problems, please send us an email and let us now.

For some reason I cut my finger last night, and all I could think of was “Basterds!”, which now seems to be in my vocabulary for situations like that. But let me get to the point, dear readers. Someone in the forums said he will pre-cream his pants over what I’m gonna write about now and the coming days and weeks, so I guess a word of warning is appropriate. Our sister project, …

If you’re new to the QTA, then you might not know that until a few months back, this website looked considerably different, and it had looked that way for many many years. A side-effect of our little relaunch was, that none of our older news were conserved. But they’re not lost. I’m currently working on including all news articles/posts into this Frontpage, far back into 2002. In the left column, after the news …

Our dear friends and investigative geniuses at The Playlist sadly bring to our attention that Ennio Morricone, the grand master of composed and conducted music and eternal ‘il maestro’ among musicians, will not contribute to the score for Inglourious Basterds. Please wipe the tears off your eyes, my faithful readers. Life goes on. You may now start your favorite Morricone tune in your mp3 players and take a deep breath. Morricone’s official site actually …

I have to say I do not personally own high definition equipment, currently I don’t even own a TV or DVD player. But one thing that has puzzled me these past few months is how much love Death Proof got from BluRay Disc reviewers. When reviewing DVDs or BluRay of course the main aspect is the disc quality, extras and such like, and the movie is only part of the final verdict, but still, …

Have you ever wondered about news pieces like THIS one. Or last year’s reports about Tarantino in the Philippines and so on? Don’t worry, not everyone’s an expert on filipino exploitation cinema, so enjoy this:
Once Upon A Time in the Phillipines, exploitation cinema ruled. In the early 1960s, Directors like Gerardo DeLeon & Eddie Romero came up with a new kind of sci fi horror film and went on to create the “Blood Island” …
