Five days until the Inglourious Basterds premiere, and the french really are gearing up for this. From the character posters hanging down the Riz Carlton in Cannes, to the amazing article in LeMonde that you should read if you are francophone, to the official press kit (i.e. the production notes) that is – yet – only available in french, on the Festival’s website. Aside from the usual comprehensive information these press kits reveal (click …

Universal Pictures France has released (through cinemovies.fr) a handful of interesting new pictures from Inglourious Basterds, showcasing some of the central characters of the film such as Landa, Shosanna, Hicox and Zoller, as well as Shosanna’s cinemateque from the outside and a nice look at some of the Hammersmark posters as seen in the movie, most of which we’ve posted exclusively here a few weeks ago (click here to see them all).

Oh I was waitin for this one. Sgt. Stiglitz (played by Til Schweiger) may be one of the craziest motherfuckers the Basterds take up into their ranks, and he sure is one inglourious Basterd. Thanks to Slashfilm, one of my favorite movie blogs, here’s the first look at the TIL SCHWEIGER IS A BASTERD character poster from Inglourious Basterds, which – for those attending – will be shown at the Cannes Film Festival May …

Today’s issue of The New York Times has the full article (available online here, a must-read) about Inglourious Basterds, which in parts had already circulated earlier, as the date on the article suggests. As The Playlist points out (thanks for the heads up), one of the more interesting blurbs emanating from that piece is a quote of Quentin Tarantino saying he has a possible sequel to Inglourious Basterds ready should that turn out successful. …

Two things you can rely on these days: there’s no shortage in the blogosphere of heated debates about remakes, “reimaginings” and various comic book and super hero movies. The other is The Playlist’s reliable scouting ability, which comes in the form of an until now unseen picture of Brad Pitt in Inglourious Basterds. Read their post for a few quotes on why it took so many years for this epic to hit the theaters …

If you think Inglourious Basterds is primarily a Brad Pitt movie, think again. While Aldo Raine is certainly the leader of the pack the Germans call The Basterds, bringing pain and suffering behind enemy lines in Nazi-Occupied France, its not what the movie is all about. This movie is about a revenge of a whole different sort, and it’s Shosanna‘s revenge. Melanie Laurent is Shosanna, and Shosanna is the central character in Inglourious Basterds. …

Ah, so the plot thickens. Brad Pitt and Eli Roth (which we brought to you exclusively) are Basterds already, and so is Diane Kruger, now. Check it out below (or here at TwitPic). The poster comes exclusively from the OFFICIAL FACEBOOK PAGE of Inglourious Basterds (and their Twitter feed you should follow @TheRealBasterds). Diane Kruger plays German moviestar Bridget von Hammersmark in Inglourious Basterds, a role that has been described as a secret agent, …

Wait, when you saw the Brad Pitt is a Basterd teaser poster this weekend you surely said to yourself “hey it’s called Basterds, not Basterd….”, and you were right, Inglourious Basterds is only three weeks away from being premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in all it’s epic glory, so it’s time to get to know more of those Basterds, right? Well here we go, for your (continued) exclusive viewing pleasure….. ELI ROTH IS …

It’s labor day in most parts of the world (at least I think) and I didn’t even think there might be anything to write about at the end of this long and event-free friday, but the folks at AICN are always good for a surprise. It comes in the form of one badass teaser poster for Inglourious Basterds, featuring Aldo Raine (aka Brad Pitt) in all his neck-scar (in)glory. Take a click below to …

Woah, here’s an overdue update, delayed to to various problems I’m not gonna post here.

Click here to check the official lineup. Also, MTV has an interview (text and video) up with Eli Roth, who’s swinging …

Yours truly is back in action with a new laptop and an Ikea couch to rule the world from (or take a nap on, more likely). To put this into perspective, the last week has seen Quentin on American Idol, an extended clip with new footage and a few more articles and newspaper coverage of Inglourious Basterds. Personally, I am annoyed with the fact that it is very hard to get your hands on …

Oh what a long day, don’t get me started. I was looking forward to watching a downloaded version of the American Idol craziness when something ended up in my inbox. First I thought well isn’t that just the Basterds footage they showed on American Idol, but no. The Playlist, a website you absolutely must bookmark, got this via Film School Rejects, and it is … fasten your seatbelts … an extended version of Inglourious …

Just the other day we were posting about the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair that has an exclusive photo shoot with the cast and crew of Inglourious Basterds, and now it’s available onlien. Also, the Inglourious Basterds screenplay seems to be up for pre-order on Amazon.com, yet we are not absolutely sure if it’s the real deal, as the publisher listed is not Weinstein Books. Yet The Quentin Tarantino Archives knows that – as …

Everyone’s least favorite TV show Entertainment Tonight is showing some previews of a Vanity Fair photo shoot with the Inglourious Basterds cast and director. The photos are supposedly going to be in the upcoming May issue of Vanity Fair, so make sure you pick that up to get a better look at glossy pictures. Here’s two screenshots from ETOnline’s promo video. Thanks to the always reliable Rama’s Screen for the heads up.

Empire magazine in their current issue are giving readers a rundown of hot new talents to watch out for in 2009, and of course there are some Basterds among them. First up, Mélanie Laurent, the real star of Inglourious Basterds. Empire writes
“It’s typical of Tarantino to defy nethead demands and cast a relative unknown in the key role of the Nazi-slaying cinema owner Shosanna Dreyfus in Inglorious Basterds. Laurent has form in France: she …

Gosh it’s been quiet, right? Well I hope you had a chance to enter our t-shirt contest and maybe you’re one of the lucky winners. As promised in a couple of places, here are two more exclusive pictures from Inglourious Basterds. I promised to upload them in case it’s a slow news week, and aside from a weird sighting of Quentin Tarantino apparently dressed up as a hobo (without the shotgun mind you), there’s …

THE Inglourious Basterds fan page on social networking platform Facebook (a project of The Quentin Tarantino Archives of course) has just hit 1,000 fans (or ‘basterds’).  Why am I posting this? Coz that went pretty fast, didn’t it (for the record, our Hell Ride fan page already has over 1,100 fans!)? I’m also posting this because there are a few other such pages on Facebook – Some of them claim to be “official” (which …

Drew McWeeney used to write as “Moriarty” for AICN, he now has a column at HitFix called Motion Captured. If you have a free spot in your morning RSS fix, then subscribe, he’s one of the best movie critics on the net, and for the following paragraph, I’m puting him in my cool book. You’ve probably heard of this whole story and I’ve mentioned it before, so without going much into it, just enjoy …

It’s a slow news week, and unless you care much for those idiotic “reviews” of Inglourious Basterds based on the teaser trailer, by some dude at The Guardian, which I’m not gonna dignify with a link, then you’re probably as thirsty for news as I am. As promised, here’s two more exclusive pictures of advertising material for the film within the film, Pride of the Nation (Stolz der Nation), starring Frederick Zoller, played by …

Sorry for being so late with this, but I was out of the country for a day. What we have here are four official Inglourious Basterds teaser posters. They look very teaserific and I’m pretty sure most of them won’t be seen on German billboards. One of them shows Donny “The Bear Jew” Donnowitz‘ baseball bat with a bloody helmet, the other a knive and a swastika, the third a rifle. One is just …

Have you calmed down? The teaser trailer that hit the net in full inglouriuos force yesterday certainly had me click the “replay” button numerous times (also watch it in German if you wanna see inglourious dubbing). While I think it didn’t have the kick-ass attitude of the Kill Bill teaser years ago, which practically knocked me out of my comfy office chair, it nevertheless set the mood right. This film won’t be your typical …

I’m full. I had chinese food and it was too much. Luckily, something amazing was waiting for me after the short walk back from the restaurant, where they had a Kill Bill house of blue leaves style bridge and pond, by the way. Yahoo Movies has the full untampered official teaser trailer of Inglourious Basterds up, also in inglourious Quicktime HD (as opposed to Yahoo’s own standard crapfest streaming shit), so check it out …

While Universal’s weirdo lawyers are going medieval on everyone’s asses on Youtube, I finally found a way to see Entertainment Tonight’s Inglourious Basterds teaser footage in acceptable quality. By the way, I don’t get what their friggin’ problem is. It’s free publicity! Considering that only a fraction of the planet’s population can watch ET, they should be happy Youtube exists. And the real thing is supposed to hit the net in some official way …
