Inglourious Basterds
- Tom Charity
- 14 Aug 2009
A Tarantino film is always a notable event, even when (as with his last, Death Proof) it turns out to be a non-event for most people. I mean, at least it was a spectacular non-event. So far, the reactions to Inglourious Basterds, his atrociously-spelled WWII epic, have run from hot approbation (especially from the American press in Cannes) to Peter Bradshaw’s 1-star review in The Guardian.

Inglourious Basterds sequel in the works
- 07 Jul 2009
Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein is already preparing a sequel to Quentin Tarantino's forthcoming war movie Inglourious Basterds, despite branding lead actor Brad Pitt's work "the worst performance of his life". Weinstein, one of the film's executive producers, wasn't impressed by Pitt's portrayal of an American lieutenant who leads a team of Jewish soldiers in World War II.

German actress Diane Kruger almost missed out on her role in Nazi vengeance drama Inglourious Basterds - because director Quentin Tarantino was convinced she was American. Kruger plays a movie star in the new war movie, but Tarantino initially skipped over her bid to be a part of the film - because he felt she wasn't German enough, and he wanted his actors to be authentic.

Myers' Basterds role was a dream
- 22 Aug 2009
Mike Myers jumped at the chance to play a British General in Quentin Tarantino's new movie Inglourious Basterds, because the cameo fulfilled a childhood dream. The actor's British parents both served in the armed forces and he spent his childhood playing soldiers and fantasising about following in their footsteps. His role as General Ed French in the new World War II movie is only a fleeting one - but Myers was thrilled nonetheless. He explains, "My mum was in the air force and my dad was in... Read more
