Inglourious Basterds’ Premiere At Cannes Film Festival 2009
During the last year’s Cannes Film Festival, Quentin Tarantino promised to return this year at Cannes with his new film.
”The next movie I’m doing is my World War II movie. I just finished up the first draft and if all goes well, I will be here, in Cannes, in 2009 with “Inglorious Bastards”, Tarantino said then.
We can say now that he kept promising because it’s been confirmed that “Inglourious Basterds” will have its world premiere during the prestigious French film festival. “Inglorious Bastards” will be “in competition” at Cannes Film Festival 2009.
Tarantino previously won the Palme d’Or prize at Cannes for “Pulp Fiction” in 1994. He hasn’t won any awards since then. However, a decade later he has been invited back as a member of the jury. Tarantino’s “Kill Bill” was not in competition that year, but it did unspool on the fest’s final night in its original 3-hour-plus version.
The full 62nd Cannes Film Festival line-up will be unveiled on April 23, with the festival running from May 13- 24, 2009.
Universal and The Weinstein Company will debut “Inglourious Basterds” in theaters officially in the US on August 21st, 2009.
