Til Schweiger ist ein Basterd

Sebastian — Mon, 11 May 2009 16:41:11 +0000

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 ...

Schweiger talks Basterds, and more poster mock-ups

Sebastian — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 16:27:22 +0000

A couple weeks ago, we (via the black hole that is the IMDB) leaked a mock poster for (what was then still called) Inglorious Bastards (click here to check it out, it’s the red one with the eagle and the bullet hole on the swastika, which I personally thought was a cool poster idea). Now, a few more concept artwork ideas have leaked onto the net. Heavily photoshopped, very bad looking, but nevertheless interesting, ...

Basterds start training

Sebastian — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 12:23:23 +0000

From what we can gather, rehearsing on Inglorious Basterds started today, after a joint dinner with cast and crew in Berlin yesterday, that was well-received by some paparazzis (we suspect pictures of a drunk Til Schweiger very soon, probably). Reportedly, shooting will begin in the German state of Saxony on October 6th already, in an area called the Elbsandstein mountains (rumor) and production will then move to Babelsberg Studios in Potsdam near Berlin on ...

Til Schweiger is a real Bastard

Sebastian — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 10:14:07 +0000

He’s in, he’s out, he’s in? THR reports (albeit with a story headline that makes zero sense) that Til Schweiger has been cast as one of the Inglorious Bastards (apparently they have Germans in their ranks, what will The Bear Jew think?). The word around the campfire during the last few weeks was that he might play Col. Landa, or the character Daniel Brühl finally got, or someone different, and that in the end ...

Daniel Brühl is Hans Landa, villian in Inglorious Bastards

Sebastian — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 12:46:17 +0000

As we’ve reported earlier, rising German star actor Daniel Brühl has been cast in Inglorious Bastards. Now the Berliner Kurier, a local paper, writes that he might in fact have been cast as the main villian Hans Landa – aka ‘The Jew Hunter’ – the vicious SS Officer, a role for which Daniel beat Leonardo diCaprio, Gedeon Burkhard and Til Schweiger. The paper quotes Brühl saying (rough translation) “I’m scared stiff”, he has about ...

Tarantino meets German actors for Inglorious Bastards

Sebastian — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 18:26:27 +0000

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. ...
