Quentin Tarantino Forced to Re-Do “Inglourious Basterds”
Quentin Tarantino’s World War II movie drama “Inglourious Basterds” made its debut at the Cannes Film Festival, and while most critics enjoyed the movie, the main complain was that there was too much talking and not enough action.
By his own admission, Tarantino rushed to finish the film in time to compete in the Cannes Film Festival. He would have been better off screening it out of competition and designating it a work in progress.
Top executives at Weinstein Co and Universal are going to have to persuade the film-maker to restructure the movie ever so slightly before it hits US screens in August, and subtract and add footage so we know more about the Basterds, a group of Jewish American soldiers charged with scalping Germans in Nazi-occupied France.
Robert Pattinson Confirmed Shooting Of Breaking Dawn
Robert Pattinson (who is currently in Cannes) has confirmed that there will be a fourth film in the vampire series. He said the movie would be based on Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling novel, “Breaking Dawn.”
He was currently in the final days of shooting the second film, “New Moon,” in Italy and would start third movie, “Eclipse,” in October. Pattinson said his role in “New Moon” had been beefed up compared to the book, in which Edward is simply “a voice in Bella’s head”.
“You’re playing a figment in Bella’s imagination so I was trying to do it in a 2D way. I hope it doesn’t translate onscreen as being boring,” said Pattinson, laughing.
In between Twilight films, Pattinson said he plans to star in “Remember Me,” a film about a man who spends six weeks working out whether he loves someone or not.
Because of his other movie commitments, there was no definitive start date for the fourth movie, Pattinson added.

Synopsis: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present day. It tells the story of Dr Parnassus and his extraordinary ‘Imaginarium’, a travelling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom.
Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the imaginations of others, Dr Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret. Long ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr Nick, in which he won immortality. Many centuries later, on meeting his one true love, Dr Parnassus made another deal with the devil, trading his immortality for youth, on condition that when his first-born reached its 16th birthday he or she would become the property of Mr Nick.
Valentina is now rapidly approaching this ‘coming of age’ milestone and Dr Parnassus is desperate to protect her from her impending fate. Mr Nick arrives to collect but, always keen to make a bet, renegotiates the wager. Now the winner of Valentina will be determined by whoever seduces the first five souls. Enlisting a series of wild, comical and compelling characters in his journey, Dr Parnassus promises his daughter’s hand in marriage to the man that helps him win.
In this captivating, explosive and wonderfully imaginative race against time, Dr Parnassus must fight to save his daughter in a never-ending landscape of surreal obstacles – and undo the mistakes of his past once and for all…
