f you've been paying attention to Quentin Tarantino over the past 5 years or so, you know that he's been working on a screenplay entitled Inglorious Bastards. Ever since the Kill Bill films hit screens in 2003, Tarantino has been talking about a WW2 screenplay that he started writing before Kill Bill and had swelled to the size of a phone book. He told Charlie Rose that it was the greatest thing that he had ever written and hoped to edit the massive script down to a manageable level. Given the amount of BS that tends to spew out of the man's mouth, very few people actually believed him. However, it looks as though the screenplay might finally be done. The movie could be hitting screens very soon.

According to Tarantino, Inglorious Bastards is intended to be a ensemble WW2 movie in the vain of The Dirty Dozen and (although he rarely mentions it) Enzo G. Castellari's Inglorious Bastards. After years of toiling away on the screenplay, Tarantino boldly announced at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival that he would be making the film this year in time for the next Cannes Fest. At the time, it was assumed that the director was blowing smoke up the asses of the collective movie going public; however, over the past few weeks it has become increasingly clear that the man is quite serious.
