(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 …

The Weinstein Company rocked the Golden Globe Awards with no less than 12 nominations (Variety), four of them for Inglourious Basterds, including best movie, best director, best screenplay and best supporting actor (you know who). Additionally, the already mentioned 10 nominations at the Critic’s Choice awards (see Guardian), with best picture, best supporting Waltz, best ensemble, best director, best screenplay, best cinematography (Robert Richardson), best art direction, editing (Sally Menke) and costume design. And …

As we’re deep into the Oscars season, speculation heats about about Inglourious Basterds‘ chances of taking home one or more of the shiny little golden oscar statues. The Academy has increased the number of nominees from 5 to 10, which makes things a little more complicated, and absent a blockbuster that would unanimously be considered “the thing” (think a movie along the lines of Forrest Gump, which snatched it from Pulp Fiction in ’95, …

That’s a bingo! Ladies and gents, the year is coming to an end faster than some poor Nazi that you would put in front of the Bear Jew. It’s December dear readers and as if Inglourious Basterds only came out yesterday, there’s tons of shit to check out. I’ll run through the goodies with you really quick to get to the main topic of today’s discussion, which is the release of that movie on …

MTV has an interview with Quentin Tarantino looking back on this great …

No end in sight, my friends, Basterds is going wild in Japan. Check out this article, Tarantino returns to grind up Nazis in the Japan Times and a 3-star  review in the same paper. What’s even more interesting, is Quentin’s role in a Japanese commercial for the SoftBank cellular company (Examiner). Quentin plays Uncle Tara-Chan in what is actually a commercial-series called the “White Family”. Preview clips have already surfaced on the net and …

Inglourious Basterds has finally hit Japan, and it hit hard. Here are a few pictures from the premiere. Click here also for posters. The film premiered in the capital Tokyo with Quentin Tarantino, Melanie Laurent, Julie Dreyfus and a raggedy-bearded Brad Pitt in attendance. According to Boxofficemojo.com, the movie has made quite an enormous amount of box-office box internationally, yet their tally of numbers seems far from complete. The Weinstein Company and Universal Pictures …

To make this really quick, Inglourious Basterds will hit BluRay and DVD (as stated a few times already) before christmas (and after christmas in some countries). We have started compiling a list of all BluRay releases and a separate list of all DVD releases. Please note that these lists are still subject to change, as various Amazons correct the cover image and different version they get from the distributors. The movie will mostly be …

Now is the time! To celebrate the visual relaunch of our Frontpage (please post your comments), and the impending relaunches of our Community and Archives (which will yet take a while), we are giving away TWO of the Original Quentin Tarantino Inglourious Basterds Crew Jackets! These are the winter jackets exlusively made for the Inglourious Basterds crew by the Studio Babelsberg and fashion label s.Oliver, complete with Inglourious Basterds stiching and Quentin Tarantino’s name …

I was surprised to see not one, not two, but three Tarantino-related entries at Variety. The first is about classic Tarantino quotes, the second is a tiny one about how lots of projects that are being tagged with Tarantino’s name never get made (or in a different way), if you ask me, not a Variety highlight. The third is about how many have tried to be Tarantino, which is a great companion piece to …

Basterds is still making money like crazy (Source: ABC) and it’s still keeping columnists busy (this one: click; still gets the name wrong and some other things, but it’s a good read). At the same time, the BluRay and DVD release definitely seems to be going down before christmas (Source), so we are now trying to keep our Basterds DVD and BluRay overview page updated as much as possible. Stay tuned!
UPDATE: Yes, to the …

It’s link friday! While I’m freezing my butt off here, people elsewhere may still be enjoying Inglourious Basterds in theaters, can that be true? Anyway, here are a few links that caught my eye recently, for you to read to bridge the time until we’ll give away some of those official Basterds crew jackets. Hush! Did I say something?

An interview with Zoe Bell at CraveOnline
Short piece in the Hollywood Reporter about what might be …

Just when I tried to calm things down in me previous post, which some might’ve considered as some sort of a rant against those Kill Bill Vol3 stories, more “new Tarantino movie” rumors are popping up. By way of our friend Rama at Rama’s Screen (a movie blog you can’t not read daily!), we heard that Quentin mentioned to Variety, that whatever he does between now and Kill Bill Volume 3 (if he does …

There has been considerable speculation already, as several industry bloggers have mused that as part of a wider oscar strategy and in order to take in the holiday business, Inglourious Basterds will come out on home video in time for christmas. Now in the forum of an announcement on one of the Basterds’ official Facebook pages, comes the news that in the UK, Quentin’s box office rousing epic will hit the DVD and BluRay …

You’ve probably read them. They’re everywhere. Headlines like “Get ready for Kill Bill Vol.3″ or “Tarantino confirms Vol.3″ etc. Why a I not running this story that way? Because it’s a non story. And I’ll tell you why. For one, Quentin Tarantino has given the exact same comments when asked about Volume 3 he has given years ago. So no change there. Second, it’s a slow-news phase, so blogs will jump on anything non-Basterds …

Inglourious Basterds, remember that one? Yeah the movie that’s still making close to a million at the box office every day. Reportedly, the US free-tv rights just went to TNT (the pay-tv rights are with Showtime) for about $15 million. Despite all that, the Weinstein Company seems bound to consolidate their business, more lay-offs ahead. Time to make a sequel/prequel, Quentin :)
Basterds will also open the Morelia Film Festival in Mexico, and it’s yet …

I’m not sure how much Pulp Fiction has really made in terms of dollars, considering the years of TV runs, home video exploits and theatrical special screenings and so on and so forth, but Inglourious Basterds is now officially Quentin Tarantino‘s highest grossing movie ever, if you compare the initial theatrical box office numbers (cf. Boxofficemojo). The numbers are truly impressive and champagne corks must be a-poppin’ in the casa de Tarantino these days, …

So we’re back with some Basterds news wrap-up business, because business is a-boomin’. It’s been a bit quiet lately, but we’ve got a whole bunch of links for you to make up for it. The making-of video to Nation’s Pride just being the tip of the iceberg (click here to watch). On that note, have you rated Basterds yet? If you’re an imdb registered member you can rate it, the movie’s currently at about …

A second weekend in a row Inglourious Basterds kept on scalping. Especially on international box offices it did quite well. It entered at the top in many European markets and stayed there in others, raising it’s international total (Reuters) while pulling in another $20 million Stateside (BOM), you can keep track of some numbers at Box Office Mojo’s Basterds pages. But let me take a step back and look at some of the media …

According to BoxOfficeMojo, Inglourious Basterds is officially “the highest-grossing opening ever for a movie released in the second half of August”, with close to $40 million domestically (including Canada). In a very interesting article in the LA Times, which you should read, one passage was especially interesting to me, as you may know this website is based in Germany, where it says:
In a particularly surprising twist, however, there was much higher than usual demand …

Now that Inglourious Basterds successfully rocked the opening weekend (see my previous post here with lots of links and numbers) (see NYT), I’m curious how the movie will continue to do over the weeks ahead. It will open in many more countries and word of mouth will catch on. The reviews are mostly great, and most people love it so, go Basterds!
Here’s a nice article with Melanie Laurent, and here’s another interview with Quentin. …

says Maryanne Bilbao in a quick review at AC. With the US opening day behind us, and Germany moving into the third evening, things are heating up for the Inglourious Basterds. Personally, I haven’t managed to see it in theaters again, yet, but many many friends have and pretty much everyone was quite blown away. In our previous entry I’ve given a little rundown of recent articles and reviews, and you can still check …

(Updated) – So, have you been to the movies yet? Go see Inglourious Basterds, you basterds. Personally, I will probably go tonight and see the movie for the third time, this time with a “regular” audience. I’m excited. I’m gonna give you another run-down of Basterds news, reports, reviews and the like, below. But have you clicked here and seen our Basterds soundtrack giveaway? Don’t miss winning a 7″ vinyl!
