Tarantino’s Next Film(s): Inglorious Bastards

director Quentin Tarantino

It’s starting to look like Quentin Tarantino doesn’t like standalone films anymore.  First he gave us the two-part epic Kill Bill.  Then he teamed with buddy Robert Rodriguez on the Grindhouse double feature.  Now there’s news that his next project is another two-parter.

Inglorious Bastards will be Tarantino’s first foray into the war movie genre. He’s been working on the script for years, and he announced at Cannes that he’s finally finished it. Not only that, but it’s so big it’s going to be two movies!

The film will follow a group of criminals on a military transport during WWII. The transport is attacked by Nazis and only the prisoners survive. The decide to head for the freedom of neutral Switzerland, but have to fight both Nazis and Allies along the way. Great premise.

The films title is taken from a 1977 Italian movie of the same name. Apparently it’s similar to that film, but more of an homage than a remake.

No set release date or cast yet. Ain’t it Cool News has more info.
