Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film script ”Inglorious Bastards” is very promising. A wartime tale that most definately pays homage to The Dirty Dozen, it’s very vintage and is probably going to be Tarantino’s finest film. Tarantino is by no means my favourite director but i do like a lot of his films. This is going to be a huge mix bag of many influences and styles, which is exactly wheat he does brilliantly, ranging from old hollywood to spaghetti westerns. There has been talk of Tarantino pitching this script to Miramax, however it now seems that he will be funding the film himself.

Brad Pitt and Leonardo Di Caprio are set to star in the film, which is going to be shown in two sections. Tarantino also penned True Romance in which Pitt had a small role but this will be the first time he has worked with Di Caprio. Shooting will begin in France and Germany in a few months.

This script has appeared on numerous film sites and blogs and has been pulled almost as soon as it appeared. It does keep re-emerging and the number of filmmakers, critics, buffs and actors etc who have downloaded it is probably in the hundreds. I am merely providing the links for downloading the script and not actually hosting it.

*** Also notice Tarantino’s spelling of bastards as “basterds” in the handwritten front page. It is exactly as it appeared in this Newyork magazine blog.
