Inglorious Bastards is an upcoming war film to be written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino finished the script in 2007.
The title is taken from the 1977 movie Quel maledetto treno blindato. The film was directed by the Italian director Enzo G. Castellari and was known in the United States as Inglorious Bastards. Tarantino's film is not intended to be a remake, but rather a homage to the earlier film, as well as Eastern Condors, The Dirty Dozen, The Great Escape, Where Eagles Dare, Cross of Iron and other war movies.
Plot outline
A band of U.S. soldiers facing death by firing squad for their misdeeds are given a chance to redeem themselves by heading into the perilous no-man's lands of Nazi-occupied France on a suicide mission for the Allies.
Background
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Tarantino revealed that one of the projects he worked on in the six years in between the releases of Jackie Brown and Kill Bill was trying to hammer Inglorious Bastards down as a script. Instead of a conventional 100 to 200 page script, he wrote a 600 page work in three feature-length parts. In a September 2005 interview, Tarantino said that while Inglorious Bastards will "probably" be his next feature, the screenplay was at least a year from being ready, so it is not known whether the film will be shortened, turned into a series, or released in multiple parts, like Kill Bill.
Tarantino said in late March 2007 that he would finish writing the script to Inglorious Bastards while doing publicity for Grindhouse. In an interview with Charlie Rose, Tarantino claimed Inglorious Bastards to be the best written script out of all of his work.
If produced, Inglorious Bastards is expected to star Michael Madsen as Babe Buchinsky. In 2005 internet blogs reported that Madsen had stated that several major stars had been attached to the project. However, the same blogs also reported that Madsen said filming would "definitely" start in 2005. In a September 2005 interview with MTV, Tarantino denied that anyone besides Madsen had been cast, and stated that all other casting reports are nothing more than speculation.

Ennio Morricone will not contribute to the score for Inglourious Basterds. Morricones official site actually reports that due to a prior committment with Italian director Guiseppe Tornatore, he is unable to contribute to Quentin Tarantinos magnum opus, especially considering that it will probably wrap in a few weeks already.
shame

Just saw it in the cinema and well, I liked it! However, I dont think it is his best movie, by far. I had trouble sometimes with some scenes, too slow and the speaches were not always that good (I know some of you will desagree), except for the character of Christoph Waltz: stunning! The rest was sometimes lacking a bit of originality in the approach, we've seen this before and I was expected to be more surprised. The violent scenes were perfect, tarentino style! But then again, I dont go to the movie to only see that, and the rest didn't fully convince me!
