Very little is known even in regards to the plot of the film, which would seem unusual with just over two months remaining until the film’s original release date of December 25th.
However, Bob Berney, head of Apparition, has [...]
Remember a few months back (or was it a few? Time flies) when the Stephen Soderbergh and Brad Pitt film Moneyball got yanked from production by the studio mere days before it was set to begin shooting? Well now, it seems he finally has something to say about it. In an interview with the Orlando [...]
Normally when a film leaves me cold, I tend to shy away from thinking about said picture. If I must, I’ll ponder the film and realize that I’d just seen a film I wanted to like, but had ultimately witnessed something mediocre or worse. Walking out of Inglourious Basterds, I recalled the same feeling as [...]
“You know what? This just might be my masterpiece.”
This phrase is uttered by Lt. Aldo Raine in Quentin Tarantino’s 7th film Inglourious Basterds, a remake/re-imagining of a 1978 film about a group of Jewish soldiers going into Nazi-occupied France to kill some Nazis. That little bit of what could be called a piece of self-indulgence [...]
“Nein nein nein nein nein nein!”
“YES YES YES YES YES YES!”
Tarantino’s films have always had me curious because of his style and the way he writes out the story, the characters, he’s always been different from other filmmakers and keeps to his style and makes each new film interesting. So it’s not always the same [...]

Atomic Popcorn: So, can we talk about working with Tarantino and stepping into a project like this?

Atomic Popcorn: What is it like working with Tarantino?
Diane Kruger: Well, it’s everything you would imagine for a Tarantino movie, he’s a little larger then life, he’s very exuberant, and mad and running around. It’s nearly a childlike quality, he sits next to a camera and gets so excited about the scene [...]

Atomic Popcorn: What was your favorite part about working on a Tarantino set?
B.J. Novak: Quentin Tarantino, watching him direct – which is a performance in and of itself, wondering how it did, I have always been fascinated by how Tarantino makes his movies. You kind of see the authorship in the [...]
SPOILERS AHEAD!
Atomic Popcorn: So, how honored did you feel when you read in the script that you were going to be the man to blow away Hitler?
Roth: Oh, it was an incredible honor! It certainly was an honor that I took very seriously, that was actually not originally in the the script. [...]
Quentin Tarantino’s interesting take on World War II through his latest film, Inglourious Basterds, has already been generating a great deal of buzz. Not only because of the alleged cult status director’s huge group of fans who will flock to theaters, but because of the all star cast that joins in. With the likes of people [...]
Finally. Something else I can add to my wall.
The new international poster for Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds has hit grandma’s interwebs and we are lucky enough to find it. Maintaining the true international poster style, this one-sheet is mostly lame with a side of a haunting Eli Roth. But, with that said, it appears Brad [...]
