Does anybody know anything about this movie? I'd sure loved to hear an update.
Last I heard (couple months ago):
Set for a 2005 release, made by Quentin himself, rumored stars include Madsen (Mr. Blonde) and Adam Sandler, and it is a war movie (WW2?)
Many may fear the Sandler part but if casted, QT could write a great sarcastic character for Sandler.

Inglorious Bastards might be release in May, 2004, Cannes Film Festival (not very likely I'm not too sure). As for the cast Sandler is very likely to be in it (which I'm not too thrill about it). The official website is still under construction so nothing official yet.
So far QT has said:
"When I eventually make my World War II movie, Inglorious Bastards, it will use Robert Aldrich's The Dirty Dozen and a lot of those late-'60s/early-'70s epic war movies as a starting-off point - pictures like Where Eagles Dare. More so even than Kill Bill , it will be my true spaghetti Western-influenced film, but set in Nazi-occupied France instead of the Old West. I see it as a time when you had these no-man's lands in Europe that really did resemble the Western landscapes of Sergio Leone (director of the Clint Eastwood 'Dollars' trilogy)."
Synopsis: During the time of WWII, U.S. soldiers who are about to be executed, are offered a chance at reprieve. Despite some rumors, this film is not a remake of the 1977 Bo Svenson movie also titled Inglorious Bastards (that particular movie was also known as Counterfeit Commandos, Deadly Mission, G.I. Bro, and Hell's Heroes).
QT I believe took the title "Inglorious Bastards" from the the 1977 movie but you are correct, it is not a remake. It may be May 2005 but there is no way he can get it in 4 months (Kill Bill 2 comes out in April).

Samuel L. Jackson was in Vol.1 but we only see him laying down. Samuel had a short part in Vol.1 but it was edited because of the length of the movie. The dvd version might show it.
Sam Jackson is the organ player in the wedding (kick ass!).
"they even shot the ol' colored guy who played the organ"
He'll have a more prominant role in Kill Bill Vol. 2 when they wedding is shown. He's on the roster at quicktime . com and imdb .com

He is most likely to be either the first or the last person that get's kill in the church. For some reason I think he will kill someone before he hits the floor.
None of his movies are like anybody elses movies so I don't think he ever "rips them off." But he does pay respects to films he does like by making references to them.

Well, I never meant to come in here and rip into him or his work, but this is a segment of a reply to Foxota5 over in the "Greatest Movies of All Time" thread.
I mean, say what you want, but all the evidence is right there.
Hey, but that said, I'll probably go see this one, just because it's a war movie.
can you not say that some of his monologues are classic? i find that some of his conversations in his scripts are way complexed yet very collected. writting east flowing natural dialogue is not always an easy thing to you, but to do it well like quentin is impressive.
