Following the footsteps of his Inglourious Basterd Brad Pitt, Quentin Tarantino is a doing a commercial for Japan’s Softbank in Japanese. The Oscar winning director is playing Uncle Tara-chan in the White Family commercials for mobile carrier according to Heat Vision. Brad Pitt and QT were in Japan to promote Inglourious Basterds that opens on November 20th, the same day the commercials will start airing there, and that is when he filmed the ad. Is it just me or does Quentin look like he is having a blast going in front of the camera? He looks like a kid in candy store as he wears his black kimono speaking Japanese. You can tell he is enjoying every second of it!
Talking about director’s going in front of the camera, Eli Roth told Marc Malkin that Brad Pitt and him can’t wait to do a prequel for Inglourious Basterds. They are just waiting for Japan’s latest commercial star to finish writing it.
“Everybody would drop whatever they’re doing to go back to work with Quentin,” Pitt’s Basterds costar Eli Roth told us at the Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards presented by Movieline.com in Hollywood. “All the time, Brad says, ‘Prequel, prequel!’ All the ‘basterds’ would jump on it in a second.”
All that’s left is the green light from Tarantino. “He has most of it written, so now it’s just a matter of figuring the whole thing out,” Roth said. “Quentin’s standards are so high that he won’t do it unless he feels like he can do it better than the first one.”
Eli added that scenes he did with Cloris Leachman, that didn’t make the first movie would be in the prequel if it gets made. Let’s hope QT gets his writing on and finishes the script soon because I can’t wait for a IB prequel!!!
But before we get a IB prequel, Dread Central posted the first pictures from Cotton that was produced by Eli Roth. Cotton is the story of an evangelical minister who documents his last exorcism. From that picture below it looks the must see movie with someone else!
