Quentin Tarantino is making a Dirty Dozen-styled World War II film called Inglorious Bastards, and he's just finished the script. Here's what he's saying about it.
"What actually got me to sit down and put pen to paper was 'hey wouldn't it be fun to do a Dirty Dozen kind of thing?' It doesn't look anything like The Dirty Dozen."
"I don't want it to feel like a period film. I want it to feel current. I want it to feel right now. One of the things I have to battle against is 30 years of Nazi-occupation TV movies where we've all seen the big streets and the vintage cars and the Swastikas, and we've just seen that ad nauseum. This is a modern, in-your-face movie. This is not a TV movie period piece."
If you heard that out of most directors, you'd cringe. With Tarantino, though, you've got to figure he knows what he's doing.
