Last night Brad Pitt premiered his critically acclaimed movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in Berlin where he is currently filming Inglourious Basterds. Some of the Basterds (Eli Roth, Til Schweiger and producer Lawrence Bender) ran straight from the set to support their Lieutenant!!! Eli, Til and Brad all look great in the modern day street clothes, but I can’t wait to see them in their WWII military uniforms on August 21st!!!
Today is the last day of 2008, and before the year comes to a close The Weinstein Company announced a release date for the movie I am most excited for 2009. Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds with Brad Pitt will make its way to the big screen on August 21st and I can’t wait to see the talented Eli Roth as The Bear Jew striking out Nazis with a baseball bat!!! Plus there is a rumor that Eli Roth is also directing a Nazi propaganda film within the movie!
Seriously I am so excited for this movie, that I predict I will not be alone with my excitement and the WWII epic will be dominating all the Awards shows around this time next year. As excited as I am that the movie has a release date, I hate having to wait to 8 months to see it…:(
How popular is Quentin Taratino’s Inglourious Basterds in Berlin? Well considering over 3,000 people lined to be extras in the movie and to have the chance to work with Brad Pitt and Eli Roth, I would say it is really popular. I so can’t wait to see the epic Inglourious Basterds when it comes out next year!!!
Looks like Quentin Taratino is letting his BFF Eli Roth aka The Bear Jew go from in front of the camera in Inglourious Basterds to behind it for a film within the film called Nation’s Pride. According to The Quentin Tarantino Archives, Eli is a “guest director for the “film within the filmâ€Â, which stars Daniel Brühl as a Nazi sniper and GIs on a suicide mission.” The little tidbit was realized when someone realized that QT was not at the shoot above, and it was revealed that Eli was. After staring at my computer screen for hours trying to see if I could see The Bear Jew with his military haircut (because he looks so cute with his new do and I wanted to see him with it in plain clothes!) in the fan video, alas I discovered I could not find him. Oh well, soon enough we will see it all when Inglourious Basterds comes out next year! I so can’t wait for this movie!
Eli Roth, who is currently filming Inglourious Basterds in Berlin, had his film Cotton that he is producing for Strike Entertainment get picked up by Studio Canal according to Variety. Cotton is about an evangelical minister who turns against religion and decides to participate in a documentary in which he practices his last exorcism.
COTTON is the scariest script I've read in years. I'm a huge fan of the filmmakers, who made a brilliantly funny, sick, and rarely-seen film called MAIL ORDER WIFE. Strike produced the "Dawn of the Dead" remake and we've been quietly putting this project together for the past few months. The script is terrifying.
After reading what the movie is about and what Eli told me, I so can't for that movie! Seriously how awesome does it sound!!!
