Tarantino talks more Basterds and other projects
Quentin Tarantino can be more or less proclaimed one of the Hollywood director golden boys of this past decade, and for good reason. With the Kill Bill movies to even the very much up in the air response over Death Proof, he’s made his mark and has put a cap on the entire year with the widely praised Inglourious Basterds.
So, why possibly ruin a good thing with a prequel?
Tarantino sits down with the NyMag and spills that there is a prequel to Inglourious Basterds, but Tarantino has not finished writing it up yet. Claiming that he’s only written 40 pages worth, he’s still got a ways to go before a draft is completed and is hoping that it will get off the ground. Then again, it could take awhile with the new confirmed report of another mystery story he’s got on the backburner.
It’s going to be “smaller, less epic” in scale than Basterds, and in a “different genre entirely.” He says he thinks he can finish it in a five- to six-month period of intensive writing.
One can only ponder what Tarantino has got going on through his head with whatever the project may be. Inglourious Basterds is out on DVD and Blu-Ray right now and at this rate is in a nice running to possibly get some sort of nomination from the Academy Awards since it’s been so loved by other award shows. Let’s see what this director and writer can pull out for the general audience in this upcoming decade.
