Tarantino Intends to Screen Inglorious Bastards at Cannes in 2009

If you like the ugly and awesome universe in which director Quentin Tarantino’s visions take place, then his upcoming flick will, without a doubt, fulfill and surpass your expectations. The film, currently in pre-production, is titled Inglorious Bastards and is set to be all wrapped up for Cannes 2009.

Like his previous feature film Kill Bill, Inglorious Bastards is to some extent an offshoot movie, influenced by The Dirty Dozen and Where Eagles Dare. It is a war film set during WWII and is about a team of U.S. soldiers who, at the point of execution, are offered a chance at redemption.

Just to make it clear, this film is not a remake of the 1977 Bo Svenson movie also titled Inglorious Bastards. The movie will be similar to Kill Bill in that revenge is the ultimate theme of the movie. Tarantino referred to this as a "guys-on-a-mission" movie.

Tarantino revealed that between the releases of Jackie Brown and Kill Bill, he was trying to write the script for Inglorious Bastards. Instead of the usual 100 to 200 page script, he wrote a 600 page script in three feature-length parts. This would result in the movie running for about six hours. Due to that length, there have been serious talks of this movie being released into multiple parts, which would be another similarity with Kill Bill (Kill Bill was released in two volumes).

In an interview, Tarantino claimed Inglorious Bastards is the best written script of all his work, which left many of us drooling.

In July, numerous articles popped up, stating Tarantino had released and sent his complete Inglorious Bastards script to Universal Studios, Warner Bros., Sony and Paramount Pictures. The articles also stated that the film would be produced by Lawrence Bender and Harvey Weinstein.
