Will Samuel L. Jackson become Tarantino’s “Frenchie”
Another tiny bit of Tarantino gold has sifted through the dust from the recent rush of rumors circling his newest project ‘Inglorious Bastards’ whereas he’s apparently had conversations with Jackson about playing a role in the two-part WWII remake of the original 1978 film by Enzo Castellari. The movie will surely vary immensely from it’s source material, but in a good way. If anyones seen the special features on the 3-disc edition DVD of the original, you’ve seen how big of a

Samuel L. Jackson: The Lost Titanic Screen Test
This is totally what James Cameron's Titanic would have sounded like directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring Samuel "mother effing" L. Jackson. Not sure why this guy is all over the Internet now, but I like it! Titanic totally would have benefited from this adrenaline shot to the eardrums! (Needless to say, languagewise, it's NSFW.)

Is Quentin Tarantino Compromising ‘Inglorious Bastards’?
When Quentin Tarantino made his bold statement at Cannes that he would be there in one year with Inglorious Bastards, everyone laughed and shook their heads saying “Ooh, Quentin, you rascal, you” and then continued about their business. Pretty much immediately after the amusing quote, Tarantino went and finished his script and then started casting and scouting locations like a mad man; this told us he was actually serious and was out to prove it. So here we are. The movie is looking to start

Is Melanie Laurent Tarantino’s Very Cute Bastard Female Lead?
Has Quentin Tarantino found his Jewish Princess for his World War II talky slaughterfest aka “Inglorious Bastards”? Maybe, maybe not. According to the blokes over at Dark Horizons, who quotes a French movie site called Monsieur Cinema, French actress Melanie Laurent has indeed won a leading role in the film. Which could only mean one thing: she’ll be playing Shoshanna Dreyfus, a Jewish girl who is the only survivor of a bloody Nazi manhunt that claims the lives of her entire family, a sequ

First place in the indie four-day weekend box office race. Sukiyaki Western Django, directed by the prolific and extremely versatile Takashi Miike and featuring Quentin Tarantino in a small role, tore it up at the single Manhattan theatre where it opened, grossing $13,100, according to estimates compiled by Box Office Mojo. The version released in the US does not r

Quentin Tarantino and the female bastard..
Mr Tarantino has been all over the place with his castings for ‘Inglorious Bastards’, and things are starting to come out about the female lead for the movie. Apparently he is in talks with Melanie Laurent to play Shoshana Dreyfus. Melanie hasnt been in very many American movies, so her resume would look pretty foreign to you as she is from France. You can check her out on IMDB though..thanks to AICN for the heads up. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for v

Quentin Snags a Few More 'Bastards'
Bastards, bastards, bastards! The best part about Quentin Tarantino appropriating the title for his upcoming movie from Enzo Castellari's high-energy original is that I get to satisfy my inner 11-year-old and tell you all about the latest Inglorious Bastards withour fear of recrimination from parental figures. Diane Kruger is the highest-profile new bastard, according to Variety, joined by Christoph Waltz and writer / actor / comedian Paul Rust. Kruger, the hellenic beauty who first made a splash on these

Review: Sukiyaki Western Django
Filed under: Action, New Releases, New in Theaters, Quentin Tarantino, Cinematical Indie, WesternBy chance, two Takashi Miike movies, Dead or Alive and Audition, opened in my town with in a week of one another in 2001. It was pretty eye opening seeing the huge difference between them, the speedy carnage of the former and the slow suspense of the latter, and I became an instant fan. Since then I've managed to track down just six more Miike movies, and in that same time he has made over forty (including video

Why Hollywood is coming to Deutschland
All of a sudden, it seems, there's something about Germany. First up, we had Tom Cruise's decision to risk incurring the wrath of the nation's anti-Scientologist brigade (which seems to constitute pretty much everyone who lives there) by shooting Valkyrie at the historic Benderblock building in Berlin. Then Quentin Tarantino decided to eschew his usual all-American tales in favour of Inglorious Bastards, set in Vichy-era France and Germany and centring on a platoon of Jewish-American soldiers parachuted beh

Tarantino got Another BASTARD Girl
I’m following the development on the movie INGLORIOUS BASTARD because it fascinates me how Quentin Tarantino chooses one heartthrob star, Brad Pitt in the main role and then cast some of the ultimate freaks and geeks in Hollywood (Eli Roth, Mike Myers, Samm Levine, BJ Novak) and then some German actors (Til Schweiger, Christoph Waltz and Michael Fassbender) and then took a ‘hot’ route when it comes to casting the women. Last month, Diane Kruger joined the cast of the story about a rogue b

Samuel L. Jackson, M. Night Shyamalan On The ‘Unbreakable’ Sequel That Never Was, But Might Be
Love his work or hate it, there’s no denying that M. Night Shyamalan always seems to be one step ahead of the curve with his films — from the twist no one saw coming in “The Sixth Sense,” to finding new ways to scare the crap outta moviegoers with “Signs” and “The Village.” And he was even years ahead of the current comic book movie boom (for better and for worse) when “Unbreakable” hit theaters back in 2000. So that being said, is it time for Shy

Samuel L. Jackson says “Lose the Bikinis!”
Samuel L. Jackson has played some outstanding characters in the past: Shaft, Mace Windu and Nick Fury. Now he is trying on the voice of the people. In a recent interview with shobizspy, Jackson voiced his opinion on PG films containing strippers. Jackson said” Strippers who don’t strip..suck!” He was referencing a scene in his new film Lakeview Terrace that has a bachelor party with three ladies who dance but remain fully clothed. Jackson added, “But this is a PG movie (actually PG-1
