Is Tarantino's planned fifth feature going to be a remake of italian filmmaker Enzo G. Castellari's 1977 film of the same name, plot wise they sound decidedly similar?

all i know is he 'wrote' the script before kill bill and superficially there seem to be some similarities. there aren't many details around for the script (that i know of) but i haven't heard it called a remake officially, but then tarantino has been known to half inch the odd idea or two:D

the fact that they're both self proclaimed dirty dozen rip-offs is merely a coincidence then?

Ive got the old Hokushin tape of Inglorious ************,and its a superb flick.Tarantino describes his film as being a "guys go on a mission " film,which is EXACTLY what Castellaris potboiler is!!
Now if someone could get round to remaking Castellaris Bronx Warriors.....

Its great fun.Any film where Vic Morrow is told "any more mistakes and its your head"(his next film was Twilight Zone!!) has got to be worth a watch!

I believe Tarantino has been intending to do a "guys on a mission" movie for many years - he states this in the 1994 Omnibus programme about him - and I guess this is his stab at it. He also said that the best ever such film was "Where Eagles Dare".

An update!

Quentin Tarantino has revealed that he is aiming to bring his next film, World War II drama Inglorious ********, to the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.

Speaking to Le Grand Journal at this year's festival, the Pulp Fiction director said: "The next movie I'm doing is my World War II movie Inglorious ********.

"I actually just finished the first draft of the script and when I get home I'll be finishing it up… and if all goes well, I will be here in 2009 at Cannes with my war film Inglorious ********!"

Michael Madsen is reportedly attached to star in the film, which follows a group of US soldiers facing execution by firing squad. The soldiers are given the chance to redeem themselves by going on a dangerous mission in Nazi-occupied France.

Tarantino first started work on the Inglorious ******** script after the 1997 release of Jackie Brown.

Personally, I think QT should just do as he says and get it written up, shot, edited and at Cannes by this time next year. It seems it's just going to be one indulgent movie injoke and probably doesn't deserve any more time spent (if any at all).

I think this 'announcement' is more along the lines of "Hey, I'm in Cannes & nobody's paying any attention to me & my enormous chin - I better say something to the press to get the focus on me. Look at me! Look at me!"

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/37149

In theory, I don't have a problem with it at all - if there's 4 hours+ of good stuff in the script, why not split it into two films? Yes, moan moan, you'll have to wait to see what happens, moan moan, you'll have to get off your butt and go to the cinema twice and you'll have to pay twice...but so what, don't you WANT to go back to the cinema and see a continuation of a story you've enjoyed so far? Sequels, anyone?

And besides, if the first part ends on a belter of a cliffhanger/revelation as Kill Bill did, what's to complain about?

Of course, if it's just a case of QT being/having a bad editor, then fair enough - but if he's saying it'll be two films at this stage, then I think making that arguement is a little redundant.

Bring on the ********, I say.

Pitt in talks for Tarantino's '********'
Wednesday, July 9 2008, 10:33 BST

By Simon Reynolds, Entertainment Reporter

Brad Pitt is in talks to take the lead role in Quentin Tarantino's war movie Inglorious ********, according to Deadline Hollywood Daily.

The film, which revolves around a group of soldiers stranded behind enemy lines in World War II, will commence shooting in Europe this October on an accelerated production schedule. Tarantino is hoping to premiere the movie at next year's Cannes Film Festival.

The Weinstein Company is looking to co-finance the project with a major Hollywood studio - Universal, Paramount, Warner Bros and Sony are reportedly looking at the script - in exchange for foreign rights.

Lawrence Bender, a producer on all of Tarantino's films, will oversee the project.

Pitt has previously appeared in a small role in the Tarantino-scripted True Romance. He can next be seen in the Coen brothers comedy Burn After Reading, released this October.

Quite unbelieveably, it's a 'Jewsplotaion' movie. Being that the crew are all Jewish.

Or, according to AICN

Basically - it's a story about an all Jewish American unit sent behind the lines into Nazi Occupied France with the mission to kill as many Nazis and cause as much trouble as humanly possible.

It's also about a girl that saw her family killed that finds a home and a life as a theater operator in Nazi Occupied Paris.

I think Roth handles acting duties way better than Tarantino does. He doesn't over exaggerate everything for a start (Though I concede that he was suitably slimy in 'From Dusk Til Dawn')

DiCaprio seems a little too serious to be in a film like this. But QT is going for a German actor in that part now. The only lead that seems definite apart from Roth is Pitt, and I'd be suprised if he doesn't take it.

Hell, he should just make the film with the whole 'Oceans' cast instead.

It's funny how commenters were saying "what, Eli Roth, the director?", when he's actually got more feature acting experience than B.J. Novak (a writer / stand-up / actor) at this point.

Pitt And Tarantino Face Backlash For War Film

18 August 2008 9:05 AM, PDT


Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino are facing a possible backlash for their forthcoming World War II film Inglorious ************, which depicts violent attacks on German soldiers.

The movie - Tarantino's remake of a 1978 Italian film - reportedly stars Pitt as a U.S. Army lieutenant who leads a group of Jewish-Americans dropped into Nazi-occupied Europe to seek revenge.

A leaked quote from the script, obtained by the New York Post, reveals Pitt's character barking at soldiers: "Every man under my command owes me 100 Nazi scalps, and y'all will git (get) me 100 Nazi scalps, taken from the heads of 100 dead Nazis, or die trying."

And critics believe the film's portrayal of German characters, in addition to the violent events, will spark outrage amongst German citizens.

According to a report by The Times of London: "It is not just the scalping, or the carving of swastikas in foreheads, or the shooting of a German officer's testicles, or the slow strangling scene - all shown with Tarantino's customary love of detail - that is likely to upset the German nation and its critics.

"It is the whole idea of turning the Second World War into a comic-book adventure in which not a single German character has redeeming value."

In a recent interview, Tarantino said: "I don't want it to feel like a period film. This is a modern, in-your-face movie."

He has not commented on reports of the leaked script.
