This is a sad week for online journalism. The internet is abuzz with B.S. rumors (stands for Bull Shit and also the initials of a dumbass former popsinger) and everyone just reprints/republishes them without using their brains. From MTV to AICN (which runs the story and an article debunking it at the same time, that’s a new one), thousands of people are reading a totally baseless rumor about Quentin Tarantino remaking Faster Pussycat, Kill, …

We’re up to full speed, ladies and gents. Yesterday saw Eli Roth being cast as Sgt. Donowitz (and some websites are still running that ridiculous bullshit B. Spears rumor despite knowing better), today we hear (Empire and THR reporting) that The Office (the American one) co-star B.J. Nowak will play Private First Class Utivich in Inglorious Bastards. I personally have no recollection of his tenure at The Office but I’m sure he can pull …

These days it seems that not many “news” blogs and websites seem to use their brains when it comes to reporting “news” out of Hollywood. Take these rumors that – hold your breath – Britney Spears has been “cast” (I will not dignify that crap with a link, google that bullshit yourselves) in a supposed “remake” of Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! that are floating around Google news these days. First of all, people, take …

Variety reports that Tarantino pal Eli Roth is in talks to play Sgt. Donowitz in Inglorious Bastards. The paper writes that  Quentin is to “expected to formalize his cast shortly”, we hope that’s true so we can report some facts every once in a while. Roth directed both Hostel films (part two has just recently been banned in Germany) and contributed the notorious Thanksgiving trailer to Grindhouse. He had a small role in Death …

You’re shooting a film with lots of Germans in them, so while you’re in Berlin, why not talk to some German actors for these roles? That’s what Quentin did. As reported by the Berlin Morgenpost, a local newspaper, he met – ironically in hotel “Q!” – with Til Schweiger (American audiences know him from Driven and The Replacement Killers) and Daniel Brühl, known for his role in Goodbye Lenin, to talk about Inglorious Bastards. …

He didn’t rally 200.000 people like Barack Obama, but he too can say now “Ich bin ein Berliner”. Gearing up for shooting Inglorious Bastards, Quentin Tarantino arrived in Berlin, Germany’s capital, yesterday, bringing with him Lawrence Bender (who will co-produce the film) and Harvey Weinstein. We’ll bring you more news as it happens, stay tuned. (Photo: Wenn)

EW reports that Brad Pitt is in fact in negotations to star as the head bastard, while rumors about Leonardo DiCaprio seem to be false. We’ll keep you posted about all Inglorious Bastards news. On a sidenote, our Facebook group just reached the magic 100, so if you’re on facebook, check out our Facebook group. And to al those who get to see Hell Ride tonight, I’m so damn jealous!

As reported over the last few weeks, The Weinstein Company was seeking a co-financier for Inglorious Bastards. According to Variety, a deal has been made now with Universal Pictures (Paramount was reportedly also final talks). Bear in mind that co-financing the film does not mean Universal is now the production company. The film is and has always been a Weinstein production. It is not uncommon for studios to cooperate, especially regarding international distribution. The …

I love it when I can post news that’s not even news, but just quotable stuff. Hollyscoop for example quotes  Quentin on Inglorious Bastards. They ran into our man QT at the premiere of the upcoming Kevin Costner movie Swing Vote and tried to get more information on Inglorious Bastards casting (Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio are rumored to be in talks, to refresh your memory). “Expect a masterpiece” is the quote I’m happily …

After The Dirty Dozen was released in 1967, it was a big smash in Europe and it soon spawned a whole bunch of remakes by Italian directors. In the late 70s, Italian master director Enzo G. Castellari did his own spin on the “men on a mission” film with Quel Maledetto Treno Blindatto aka The Inglorious Bastards. Being an incredible stylist of cinema, Il Maestro Castellari brought a wild, raucous vision of war to …

Say what you want, but this is getting more and more exciting every day. It seems like Quentin Tarantino, while in France to convince the lucky husband of Angelina “I’m more popular than my dad” Jolie, Brad Pitt to play the leader of the Inglorious Bastards, Lt. Aldo Raine, is also courting no other than Leonardo DiCaprio (who would be new in Tarantinoland) for a role that’s already notorious – among the pitiful souls …

Rumor control! This week started with a rumor from Scriptgirl that Miramax had bought the rights to Quentin Tarantino‘s much hyped Inglorious Bastards script. Jeffrey Wells at Hollywood Elsewhere sais that’s bullshit, and … it is. Miramax wasn’t even mentioned when news came out that The Weinstein Company was “shopping” the script to the big four studios, just on a sidenote. The movie will be coming out of the cozy lap of The Weinstein …

The only substiantial casting rumor that comes out of the Inglorious Bastards rumor mills these days is Brad Pitt. And if you believe the tabloids, our man Quentin is flying into France to meet the new father of two twins to try and convince him. I would go a step further and cast the whole Brangelina package, because if you cast Brad, we’ll all have to bring our girlfriends to see Inglorious Bastards because …

While you’re thinking “the movie takes place in France, aren’t they shooting it in the Normandy or something?”, it should be noted that Inglorious Bastards is neither a remake of The Longest Day, nor will you be able to tell green grass in northern Germany from that of green grass in France. Please excuse my horrible humor this morning. Quentin Tarantino‘s script is currently floating the internets, turning curious teenagers into duracell bunnies, and …

Wow, news breaks faster than anyone can possibly defend the Weinsteins against their critics. Hollywood’s number script news femme fatale scriptgirl reports that Quentin Tarantino‘s amazing script for Inglorious Bastards (check out our forum for an abundance of script reviews) sold – pause for dramatic effect – to Miramax. The Disney subsidiary and Quentin’s current godfathers Harvey and Bob Weinstein split shortly after Kill Bill, but it seems there will be a family reunion. …

I just read Defamer’s “rant” about Tarantino’s “overexposure” (regarding the publicity surrounding the scarce but exciting Inglorious Bastards news), basically an op-ed/open letter piece arguing for him to “free” himself from the cradle of the Weinstein Company (let me know if I understood that article wrongly). Defamer rolls out a lavish praise of Quentin Tarantino, only to conclude with the words “Is your loyalty to the Weinsteins worth suffocating your work in the crib …

The folks at Latino Review also have gotten their hands on the holy grail. Their review of Quentin’s final draft of the Inglorious Bastards (Inglourious Basterds as it sais) script is not as over-excited as the one from last night, but they call it “the most enjoyable read of the year for me so far.  Again, a masterpiece.  Killer dialogue, excellent execution, and master craftsmanship by Tarantino.” Read it here.

Just as I managed to lower my heart rate after the thrill that’s been watching the Hell Ride trailer all afternoon, the Inglorious Bastards script seems to raise heart rates else where on the internets. I had to force myself to only skim the review that New York Magazine’s Vulture blog has up. I could barely do it. While the authors do consider the slight possibility that the typo-infested script (the Kill Bill script …

While Variety is bringing some clarity to the previously reported breaking news of Inglorious Bastards being offered to the major Hollywood studios for cooperation, we also get information from Deadline Hollywood, that Brad Pitt is in talks with Quentin Tarantino (or the other way around) to star in the film. Inglorious Bastards will in fact be produced by Harvey Weinstein and Lawrence Bender, as Variety reports, and TWC is distributing the film domestically (USA). …

Brought to you by your friends at The Weinstein Company? According to DeadlineHollywood, Quentin Tarantino has taken his project Inglorious Bastards to the big Hollywood Studios this week. The blog, which is a subsidiary of LAWeekly.com, writes Tarantino’s agency has sent out the script to the big four Warner Brothers, Sony Pictures, Universal, and Paramount. A former partner of Quentin’s and long time friend Lawrence Bender is apparently attached to the project as a …

Before you say “Hey are you insane, that movie hasn’t even started shooting!”, I’m talking about Castellari’s Inglorious Bastards here, Que Maledetto Treno Blindato, to be exact. The film is considered to be a Macaroni Combat cult classic, it is a very entertaining war movie (read my review here) with a great cast, and the fact that Quentin Tarantino wants to call his hommage to the genre Inglorious Bastards as well (some chose to …

You haven’t read enough Quentin Tarantino quotes lately, well I can certainly help you with that. Here’s another blurb from the Provincetown Film Festival, this time from the New England Blade, where he’s quoted saying about Inglorious Bastards: “I’ve made a Mount Everest out of paper, now I have to go out and climb it.” According to their article, he started working on the project while flying Cape Air to get to the festival. …

If in doubt, consult Anne Thompson, or so a popular proverb might say. With all the jibber-jabber about how long Inglorious Bastards will be, whether it will be split like Kill Bill and how many screenplay revisions there might have been from a gazillion pages to a few hundred pages, well, she writes in her blog that when she talked to him at the Warren Beatty AFI gala (he got the lifetime achievement award, …

As we’ve reported earlier, Tarantino received the Filmmaker on the Edge award at the Provincetown Film Festival this weekend. Not only was he humbled to receive the award, saying “I’m not trying to be on the edge, I’m not trying to go against the grain or anything, I’m just telling my stories and I’ve been lucky enough to actually find an audience”, the locals also pronounced June 21s “Tarantino Day”. What’s more interested to …
