Bostonite Eli Roth, who spent about 6 months in Berlin, Germany filming Quentin Tarantino's WWII epic Inglourious Basterds, told The Boston Globe that he actually taught the Germans there how to speak Bostonian.
The "Cabin Fever" director said he and castmate B.J. Novak, also a Newton native, had the German crew talking with a Boston accent by the end of the shoot. "It was deeply satisfying to hear German crew members yelling such . . . gems as 'Put in the Steamer'," wrote Roth, a reference to former Sox reliever Bob Stanley. "I tried to teach them 'Bourquie, hit a slapper from the blue line,' but that was a little too advanced."
OMG, how cute! I so want to hear them say "Pawk the caw neaw Hawvawd!" now!
I read somewhere that shortly before Eli left the country to play The Bear Jew, he flew home to perfect his native Boston accent. Sounds like the trip to Beantown worked…at least according to those Germans who are now walking around with the Boston accent. We will truly find out on August 21st when Inglourious Basterds comes to the big screen!
Finally after months of waiting Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds teaser is finally here!!! OMG I knew this movie was going to be f*cking amazing, but it seriously looks better than I ever could have imagined!!! Sincerely my neck is hurting after finally getting to see The Bear Jew swing his bat!!! I can’t wait to see him do that over and over and over again so that he can give Brad Pitt his 100 scalps!
Talking about The Bear Jew, Eli Roth just posted this and the bloody awesome trailer on MySpace.
Welcome back Eli!!! Go set some rest! You and the rest of The Basterds are so going to need it because you guys are going to be so busy with all the promotion you are going to have to do for this WWII epic that has Awards’ show darling written all over it!!!
Is it August 21st yet? I don’t want to wait 6 months to see it. Dang those Cannes people for getting to see it first!!!
The Tarantino Archives got some major exclusives from the Inglourious Basterds set and one of them is the artwork for the film within the film, Stolz der Nation aka Pride of the Nation!
Stolz der Nation which stars Fredrick Zoller, a German sniper, played by Daniel Brühl. This movie within the movie was of directed by Eli Roth, who pulled all sorts of filmmaking tricks on this little movie.
If that artwork is any hint how amazing Pride of the Nation is going to be, I so can't wait to see it! Plus I always love and admire anything that Eli Roth directs!!!
BTW is it wrong for me to think that Daniel Brühl makes a cute Nazi? There just seems like there should be something wrong with that…
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…:(
