UPDATE: As the US west coast is having its morning coffee, probably surfing the interwebs for clarification on this, we as we are wrapping up Thursday already here in Europe, are happy to confirm that the rumors are completely false. We may all go back to normal and, if we may recommend, check out what Robert Rodriguez is bringing to theaters… click here. Thanks for reading.
Oh boy, is it rumor time again? If you’re …

I love you, Slashfilm. They just ran a story on what might cause joy and excitement in the fan community. Edgar Wright, director of the fake trailer “Don’t” which …

We’ve planned this for a while now, and to ‘celebrate’ our recent social media changes (see article), we’ve teamed up with Arcane Projects to give away some Tarantino-themed tees. The competition is no longer exclusively on our new Facebook Page, however if you follow clues there, you’ll find a way to win a t-shirt not part of this event. Read below:
Arcane Projects Movie T-shirt designs, are inspired by the most famous fictional Film companies, …

The Quentin Tarantino Archives (QTA), which dates back to 1999, has grown into a network of awesome underground movie websites over the last few years. Held together by the Triple Feature Foundation (3FF) – which is in search for funding by the way so donate a few bucks if you want – under its CineCoalition umbrella, the sister websites that have joined the QTA are The Spaghetti Western Database (Quentin’s favorite website “aside from …

This came out of nowhere. Apparently Quentin Tarantino plans a short stay in Vienna, Austria and has planned trips to several castles in the surrounding area (source / source), supposedly location scouting for a Dracula movie. Now we’re not very sure what to make of this. For one, visiting castles is a very normal thing to do when you’re in Austria (or for that matter, anywhere else in Europe). Secondly, who says that is …

According to AP, Quentin Tarantino will head the jury of this year’s Venice Film Festival, which regularly awards the Golden Lion. The 67th “Biennale” will take place the first week of September. Festival Director Marco Mueller is quoted as saying Quentin was “perhaps the only American auteur to be adored world wide like a rock star”. Well we couldn’t agree more, and congrats to Quentin for heading such a prestigious festival, in the …

It came as no surprise to us, that none other than Bo Svenson had a cameo appearance in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. Not only was Bo Svenson the star of Enzo Castellari‘s Inglorious Bastards, he’s also a living legend and has had a cameo appearance in Kill Bill as Reverend Harmony. We talked to Bo a few years back (read our interview here) and over the years I from time to time tried to …

Dear Quentin, happy birthday from all of us here at the QTA and the whole fan community out there, and myself of course! We hope you continue to make fucking awesome cinematic movies for years to come, and that you have a blast celebrating your first post-Basterds birthday party!
Keep on …  truckin’

Yeah we know there are stories out there about how Quentin wants to make a RomCom, but there are always stories out there about what it is that Quentin wants to make (supposedly or not only Quentin knows). Here at the QTA, we let the facts speak, and so we’re not writing about any of it. And we all know he’ll not be in the Smurfs, that’s just BS. Same goes for that Lady …

What an evening. Hopes were high, excitement big. Inglourious Basterds was nominated for 8 Academy Awards, and each of them well deserved. The evening started out with no surprise neither: Christoph Waltz took home the golden statuette for his role as Col Hans Landa of the SS. A great speech. But the rest of the evening was a series of disappointments, when it turned out that Christoph’s would be the only Oscar the Basterds …

Did you place your bets? Inglourious Basterds WILL WIN tonight, fact. And if it’s only to cement the mash-up revival in popular culture (read an article here). But let me give you a rundown on some things that might interest you:
There are some rumors about a possible fake trailer Quentin will direct this month called Agent Orange, which will be attached to Robert Rodriguez‘ Machete. Read more here. RUMORS only, if you know something, …

Inglourious Basterds (read 10 facts about the films here) winning big at the Academy Awards is still little over a week away (read here why it will win), but Monsieur Tarantino is making some space on his bookshelf for the little Oscar fella (even though in an interview he says he things Ms Bigelow should win the best director award), I’m very sure. Christoph Waltz has so many awards for his role as Hans …

Have you ever wondered what it would look like if Quentin Tarantino directed the Super Bowl (which the Saints so glouriously won yesterday; for the record: The Who rocked the fucking house)? Probably not! But still, check out this video (link).
If you’re in Hollywood, always be on the look out for really nice stuff  like this down at the Egyptian theater…
Iconoclastic filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, hot off earning Oscar nominations Tuesday for best director …

The Oscar nominations have been announced, and Inglourious Basterds got 8 Academy Award nominations! Congratulations you Basterds! And the nominees are….  Best Picture; Best Director (QT); Best Supporting Actor (Christoph Waltz); Best Original Screenplay; Best Sound Editing (Wylie Stateman); Best Sound Mixing (Michael Minkler, Tony Lamberti and Mark Ulano); Best Cinematography (Robert Richardson); Best Film Editing (Sally Menke)! What do you think will it take home all eight? Post below! And did you know …

We’re not sure where this rumor came from just now, but it’s all over the net and it sais Quentin wants Hellen Mirren (remember herr in Caligula?) to star in a movie of his. I have zero ideas what that might be (via MC). But on to more factual news. Inglourious Basterds took home two SAG (Screen Actor’s Guild) awards last night, one goes to – whoe else – Chris Waltz for outstanding supporting …

But it goes to the Jewhunter. Christoph Walz continues his amazing series of awards and takes home the trophy. Basterds lost out in the director, movie and screenplay categories. We think Avatar should have only allowed to compete in the animated film category. Yes the lines are blurred as technology advances, but as impressive and entertaining Avatar was, with that amount of money and that technology, it’s pretty much not surprising or exceptional. There’s …

Auszug der Rezension: George Seeßlen ist ein mit-Autor des wohl Tarantino Standardwerks (deutscher Sprache wohlgemerkt), das schon mehrere Neuauflagen hinter sich hat, und im Moment vergriffen ist. Mit “QT gegen die Nazis” wagt er einen Taschenbuch-Rundumschlag. “Alles über Inglourious Basterds” verspricht das Büchlein, das fast zeitgleich mit dem Film in die deutschen Kinos kommt. Quentin Tarantinos lange erwartetes Werk das im Zweiten Weltkrieg spielt (aber nicht von ihm handelt), ist wie alle anderen Filme …

Recently, I’ve come to realize that unless I post a tiny news entry about everything that comes into my inbox, I end up with posts like this one. But I can’t help it, a blog isn’t a Twitter feed. Check out this article where Tarantino talks about violence (article), this one where he wants to be like Howard Hawks (article), or this one where he talks about Vinnie Jones who is with Celebrity Big …

(Instructions on how to win a copy of the Inglourious Basterds screenplay on paperback at the end of this article.)
Inglourious Basterds is being talked up more and more as THE oscar contender (source and here), and the LA Times seems to be on a real campaign to convince the readers of that (here and here). My prediction is that the movie will win a few awards, I’m just not sure if it will be …

So it’s almost christmas, you Inglourious Basterds out there, and this glourious year is coming to an end. I’ve been a bit slow in my news posting, so here’s another round-up of things that happened since the last one. This will be the last post before the new year probably, so make sure you follow us closely on Twitter (www.twitter.com/QTArchives) as I will update that more regularly than the Frontpage here. Also join our …
