Set in World War 2, the story revolves around a group of soldiers on their way to be executed, only they get the chance for a reprieval.
“Inglorious Bastards” has been in the works for over 5 years now, but during the Cannes Film Festival, Tarantino promised to return next year 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.
“As Quentin has been writing this, he's done so much research into the actual events of World War II as well as the cinema of World War 2, that the story kept growing and growing. It became too big for one film, so he's turned it into 2. That's right, “Inglorious Bastards” will be two movies.” says Enzo Castellari, the director of the original “Inglorious Bastards”, according to AICN.
“The premise is the basic jumping off point from Enzo's original – that you had a bunch of hardened criminals on a military transport during World War II – that got ambushed by the Nazis. Everyone but the criminals gets killed and the prisoners decide to make their way to neutral Switzerland – and must fight the Nazis and the Allies to get there”, Tarantino said about his new movie.
Almost every big Hollywood name has been rumored to star in the “Inglorious Bastards”, but Tarantino writes the script without any actor in mind.
This is the great movie. Tarantino always makes a different movies. This movie is is special too.
