Quentin Tarantino Reveals he has a Half Written Prequel to INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS

I think ‘Inglourious Basterds’ is going to be a great movie. I guess we will find out what people think of it soon enough because it will premier at the Cannes film Festival which is currently underway. Quentin Tarantino has recently revealed that he has a prequel for the movie already to go if the first one does well! The New York Times recently did an interview with the director in which he says:

“I have a half-written prequel ready to go if this movie’s a smash,”

This half-written prequel involves African-American soldiers stuck behind enemy lines. I wonder if Spike Lee will have anything to say about this if the movie gets made. Tarantino also goes on to say that his script for ‘Ingourious Basterds’ will be nominated in the best original screenplay category at the Oscars. One other thing that he said that I liked was:

“When you see the Germans speaking English with a German accent or sounding like British thespians, it just seems very quaint. That’s one thing I don’t want this film to have. If Spielberg hadn’t made ‘Schindler’s List’ yet, I joke, I like to think that after our movie he’d be shamed into doing it in German.”

That’s one thing I still don’t understand about most WWII movies, whats up with the German having English accents? They are German! England was fighting against them.  The interview that Tarantino gives is a really interesting read so I suggest you give it go.

It’s hard to say weather or not you want to see a prequel to ‘Inglourious Basterds’ yet because we still have yet to see the first one. But I cant wait to see it!

    I think it's just an extension of what has been going on in Theatre for centuries.

    They're just actors playing roles so they shouldn't have to memorise a whole language for their parts. Their acting would be hindered otherwise.

    Also, I think The Pianist is the worst offender of this!

    oh good god, i hope this film is at the very least watchable – Quentin has been on a slippery slope after Jackie Brown didn't do so well…this knee-jerk reaction to try and make something that rakes in lots of cash instead of carrying on doing what he is best at…and Death Proof…jesus, i think you might actually require a vagina to appreciate that film – because it is fucking shit, unless your a woman, in which case you might feel 'empowered' in some stupid fucking way…
