Tarantino takes on Hitler and WWII Germany

Nazi's people, they're taking the piss out of nazi's bring it on!!!

P.s Larznero, fall out of your high chair of almighty, pulp fiction is a classic, one of the greats. Never diss the pulp.

After all the violence Hollywood has put together, this is news?
It's a remake for Goshsakes! Where was the outcry the first time this movie came out?

I can't wait! It's Tarantino, how could anybody complain?

Pulp Fiction was really boring crap. I suspect a lot of people claim they like it because that's what everyone else is doing. I haven't been able to watch any Quentin stuff since.

forget the film, I'm amazed about how much this subject of this movie has stirred everyones thoughts and ideas about it. Movies are mostly about entertainment and emotion. But sometimes they invoke deep feelings and thought. Tarantino does not just make a movie without putting lots of thought into it, including bad ass camera shots.

Can't wait to see it! I'd would have to say that Mr. Tarantino is one of the best directors of our time.

With the recent highly stylized "revenge flicks" and endless references to far easter traditions; it'll be nice to see him focus on something different.

To my absolute disappointment. It was recently rumored that he was casting for a remake of 1965's Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, and wanted Britney Spears as the female lead! As lesbian killer! - it has been proven tabloidic spin.

Sounds like it's gonna be great.

I think sensitive subjects should absolutely be addressed in pop culture, so long as it's done responsibly. I wouldn't allow any old director to take on such a project, but I bet Tarantino will deliver something amazing. Plus, now that this story has been circulated among the masses, the pressure is on to create the kind of film we know he is capable of.

This film was talked about along time ago.

Those no one remember.

There should be no controversy here. Quentin is an amazing director, hundreds of movies have been made concerning the nazis as characters, and clearly he is not trying to make a historically accurate account of world war II, or Nazi Germany. I have no idea why this is news worthy.

I can't wait!

"I'm curious, is this a subject that is appropriate to be interpreted via pop culture?"

-I guess you've never seen Hogan's Heroes?

I agree with you though, it's a sensetive subject.

his last film ....grindhouse/that other one with that other director sucked. i hope he makes this one as good as his older films....ie reservoir dogs and pulp fiction

I think all of history is fair game for movie fodder, but honestly, it needs to be done right. My german exchange family has a great perspective on the third reich: it was another group of people in another generation, we are different people now. They just get peeved about the constant Nazi references in pop culture when the german people are concerned. I agree with Kniebe when he says that the outcome of this is unpredictable. T will be walking a fine line with this one. I agree with you, bruceabeal, he needs to present it as realistic as possible to the ignorant masses, but i don't mean blood and gore necessarily. If he can give those in the audience that sinking feeling i got when i passed through the crematorium at Dachau, when i saw the shooting range, now eerily covered in vines and flowers, he's doing his job right. It may be a horrible thing, but it happened and people should know about it.

i take exception to the "Robot Machine of News" calling tarantino the master of movie violence...puhleeze!

Sounds like a Tarantino classic to me. I think the movie will be great!

I hope they cast Brad as a nazi, that'd be hilarious

People need to get off their sensitivity high horse and realize that Tarentino hates all human beings equally!

script here-

Yes tarantino is strange to some, but i must say, each of his films has been breathtaking in there own unique way, and im sure this one will live up to the expectations!

why have limits?
there should be no subjects in film that are taboo/morally incorrect. Every filmmaker tries to send a message through their work of art, and it is up to the consumer to interpret that message, because like a portrait, a movie can be seen in two different lights.

I have always liked Tarantino's films, they are excellent productions. It will be interesting to see him make a movie with George Clooney's BUTT BROTHER-Brad Pit.

I've read it...passed from a friend in the business back in early July. Totally fascinating and way over the top. I really like the Cinema Paradiso touches, and yes, it is violent as all get out. The funniest part of the script is the seemingly intentional misspellings -- the "bastards" in question are repeatedly referred to as "Basterds" except when the narrator steps in, and Hitler is referred to as "'mine Fuhrur."

For what it's worth, I feel better after reading this than I did after reading Kill Bill back before that was in production. Kill Bill had a feeling of "impossible" to it, but he pulled that off in some ways. Still missed the Yuki's Revenge chapter though.

If Pitt "brings the crazy" it will be an interesting casting choice. Adam Sandler is also rumored, not sure if he's been cast yet.

I'll see it and then I'll decide if he's a good director. He's had great movies....but he creeps me out.

According to Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglorious_Bastards_(1977_film)
A 1977 Italian war movie named "Quel maledetto treno blindato" was released in the US under the name "Inglorious Bastards".
"Severin Films released a 3-Disc set that features... an interview with Quentin Tarantino..."

And, according to this:
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3i28e0d4f79910107...
"Repped by WMA, Tarantino acquired the title and remake rights to Enzo Castellari's 1978 film of the same name, but his screenplay is said to be an original."

I love Tarantino's movies. I can't wait to see it.

I cannot wait to see this movie and I think Brad Pitt is going to do a great job. His recent films (Jesse James, Burn After Reading ...) are really quite good.

i wouldn't have cast Pitt . haven't seen the movie , but i just know i won't like Pitt .

I do not believe this is an attack upon the Germans or any such thing. Tarantino is simply using the WWII setting has an excuse for massive amounts of violence--the depiction of which is his only goal, of course.

This should be interesting!! I love both their work and enjoy the creative outlook Tarantino has! This may work out better then some people think.

If Tarantino is involved, then who knows how crazy it is going to be!

This movie has already been made, and it was awesome.

Who would set those limits and boundaries? Why would that person or entity be allowed to do so? Why put limits on art and what artists are allowed to do? Art is one way that society processes its horrors and tragedies...to suppress that is to prolong it, even if it is considered offensive or insensitive by some.

All tarantino movies are somewhat contraversial in some way. But, he makes very good movies that have a beautifully defined plot and intllectual conversations in the midst of pure bloody chaos....I know i'm watching it.....

It will be violent!

It would be funnier if Monty Python took on the Hilter regime.

Time heals all wounds, and this is just opening them up again.

I think it's in poor taste and will stir up sentiment that has long been forgotten for good reason.

WWII is too far in the past for Tarantino's audience to remember it first hand, and it sounds like it's going to make Americans as well as Germans and Jews look bad.

Hopefully it won't be as bad as it sounds.

Tarantino can make movies about whatever he wants. If it's a good movie then who cares, it's gonna piss off some people no matter what it's about.

Well no one seemed to have a problem when Uma Thurman's character slayed countless Japanese henchman in Kill Bill Vol 1. Now Tarantino wants to kill Nazi henchman and suddenly it's an atrocity? It's Hollywood people, bloodbaths make money and if you've got a problem with the film, don't buy a ticket.

Revolting. Uncivilized. Barbaric.

Why don't people put out films about the truth anymore? Why don't they tell stories of the Germans who fought, NOT for Hitler and the Nazis, but to protect their homeland? Why not tell the tale of how these valiant defenders lost to the onslaught of American and Russian troops, and how, because they failed, over 90% of German women where raped, often repeatidly. Why not tell of how the German people where made literal slaves after World War I? Why not tell of how Germany is so defeated and shamed in this modern age that the national Anthem isn't even played in it's entirety?

You may love to hate Germans, buy we are people too. Not every citizen of Germany supported the Holocaust, and many didn't even know about it. If you really think about it, it's kind of like how America is today. You live your lives in comfort over here, oblivious and non-caring to the attrocities perpetrated by your own government in the Middle East.

I'm loosing my faith in Humanity.

He always makes a good movie,and I don't thinthat this will be any different. The Nazis did horrible things to people, so what is the problem.

But with the days we are living in, the setting should be Africa!

I find the idea of this film revolting and do hope that it does not make it to theaters or even DVD.

im scared.

Everyone can stand behind picking on the Nazi's. They had it too good for too long.

Exciting!! And no, the topic of senseless human aggression should not be taboo for filmmakers, even if it involves zealotry on a nazi level. Commentary from pop culture is inescapable..not to mention I'm quite sure the holocaust museum in D.C. could offer you much more disturbing things than even gore-master Tarantino might provide.

Shaun of the Dead star Simon Pegg as well.
