Last year we posted something that almost crashed our servers and caused huge ripples around the internet: Quentin Tarantino‘s list of his favorite films of 2010 (click here to read). There were some controversial choices and some omissions in the opinions of a lot of commenters, and the discussions were very active. Even earlier, during his filming of Inglourious Basterds he let us have lists of his top 20 favorite Spaghetti Westerns (click here …

Quentin Tarantino, as did friends, family and colleagues, suffered a great loss with the passing away of Sally Menke. She had been more than his editor on all his movies, she had been his right hand, and many wondered who would be able to succeed her in this role as the editor. Judging from IMDB and New York Times listings, Quentin might have found this successor in Fred Raskin (imdb), who had previously worked …

Quentin Tarantino has found his Broomhilda, and this confirms rumors that have been circulating for a few weeks now. Kerry Washington will play Broomhilda, the wife of Django (played by Jamie Foxx) in Django Unchained. She is joining a diverse cast: Just this week we hear that the RZA, Anthony LaPaglia as well as Misty Upham will join the project, which has already lined up Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Samuel L. Jackson, Don Johnson, Christoph Waltz, …

The big news of the last few days is, that Kevin Costner – as much as I would have loved to see him in it – is out (due to scheduling conflicts) of Django Unchained, which is currently in pre-production, and Kurt Russell is in talks to replace him. Quentin Tarantino also drew some additional talent to his southern. Laura Cayouette (Kill Bill, Hell Ride), Dennis Christopher (Deadwood) and  Gerald McRaney (also Deadwood) will …

I really like Kevin Costner. There is way too much bashing of this guy going around the internet (which is why I wrote an article called In Praise of Kevin Costner, read it), so I am positively surprised that Deadline reports he is in talks to play a real meanie in Quentin Tarantino‘s upcoming southern Django Unchained. According to Fleming, he is tapped to play Ace Woody, a really sadist SOB training slaves to …

He was Ray, he was Miami Vice, he was a kick-ass cab driver in Collateral, and an up-coming football player in Any Given Sunday. Now Quentin Tarantino has set his sights on the star to be his Django in Django Unchained. While sources report he has not signed yet, the decision was made and we can already imagine Jamie Foxx as the star of Quentin’s upcoming ‘southern’. Deadline also reports that production is slated …

Unbelievable, a news article not about Quentin Tarantino‘s new movie Django Unchained! I know you were expecting an update on the flick from the news source you trust. The thing is, there is not terribly much hard facts to report and we are not much into copying the rumors and tidbits that have been around the web already. For that, we have Twitter and Facebook and you’re totally invited to like our Facebook Page …

When you are a quarterback, and looking for someone to pass the ball to, you sometimes get hit from the side because either a team mate did not do their job right or you just got surprised. Well bazinga, as that Sheldon Cooper character from The Big Bang theory would say, I was about to hit the sack and let the couple of brewskies put me to sleep when something happened in the Tarantino …

It all happened rather quickly. First the news that his long-awaited Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair will finally premiere in LA’s New Beverly Cinema this month as part of a Tarantino-programmed exploitation and classic film month. A few days earlier, he accepted the Caesar award in France (Variety, ), implying in his acceptance speech (watch video) that he’s only getting started. By the way, you need to read this blog post on Quentin’s …

This came completely out of nowhere. The fan world has been waiting years for this announcement, and it comes in the form of an updated calendar at the New Beverly Cinema’s website. The LA movie theater, which is most likely one of the best movie theaters in the world, is a regular geek fest, and the must-go-to location for any serious cineast. Back in 2007, as AICN reminds us, Quentin Tarantino brought an avalanche …

It’s 2011! And I’m back with a juicy exclusive for all you QT Fans out there! Bear with me! All movie geeks love lists, that’s a fact of life. Our new off-shoot Furious Cinema has got a few lists to get your dick hard, and especially around year end the net is full of lists. But not all lists are the same. For example, Quentin Tarantino’s list of favorite Spaghetti Westerns (click here) and …

The event wasn’t televised, to my dismay, but it’s not like it was top secret. So by now we can tell you a little about the Friar’s Roast, where they put Quentin on the spot and tried to rip him a new one, or at least theoretically. Even though Quentin said he wouldn’t give the roasters any ammunition (check out the MTV article and video here), the packed event in Manhattan turned out to …

Is it November already? Holy shit. The time went by fast. I actually started compiling the material for this update some time in October or even earlier. The idea was to do a quick rundown of links I found on the new that were worth mentioning, among all the stuff that you find in the universe dominated by a search engine that starts with a G. And don’t get me wrong, I don’t want …

Grindhouse (the theatrical experience of April 2007 with versions of Planet Terror and Death Proof previously unseen on home video, including fake trailers Machete, Don’t, Thanksgiving, Werewolf Women of the SS) is out on BluRay today! Fans have waited three years to see this happen. Despite some early rumors that this version might exclude the fake Machete trailer because Robert Rodriguez has finished an actual movie based on it, are false (here is a …

“When it comes to the editing, I write with Sally”, says Quentin Tarantino, in an interview that precedes the Hi Sally gag reel (a compilation of footage put together from the outtakes) from 2007′s Death Proof. Actors and crew would turn to the camera to send a message to Sally in the editing room, to cheer her up. Sally Menke worked as an editor with Quentin on all his movies. This morning however, …

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 …

UPDATE: Amazon.com has the BluRay listed, click here (they also have the Japanese DVD). A DVD release is not yet announced. Click here to enter our Grindhouse BluRay page. This page has all the special features listed as well. The official cover is released as well.
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 …
