Quentin Tarantino Makes the Inglourious Basterds Prequel Sound Way Better Than Inglourious Basterds
Despite lukewarm reviews from Cannes and Brad Pitt's accent in the trailer, we continue to hold out hope that Inglourious Basterds might actually be good. Dampening our enthusiasm somewhat, though, is the fact that everyone involved seems to be so much more interested in promoting the hypothetical, not-yet-written Basterds prequel than

Says Tarantino:
All through the movie, Brad Pitt and Eli Roth just kept saying, "Prequel. Prequel." Brad would say, "Let's talk him into doing a prequel." The guys love the idea. I've got the storyline. Then again, I was going to do all these animated prequels to Kill Bill. I didn't end up doing any of those.
But all this pales in comparison to the details of the evening that Quentin Tarantino convinced Brad Pitt to join the cast of Inglourious Basterds. Pitt spilled the beans back in May that the two had tossed back five bottles of wine during the course of their conversation, but at some point another substance entered the mix. Pappademas asked Quentin for clarification on this point, and Tarantino took the bait: "That was Brad. He did the fabrication. He can take a Coke can and make it — functional." Funny, we would guess that Pitt would've broken out that Honey Bear water pipe from True Romance for an occasion like this. We can only assume Angelina made him throw it away.
Actress/musician Samantha Shelton (House, Shop Girl, Judging Amy, and Gilmore Girls) stars in the new video for “The Man With The Big Sombrero,” directed by Merit Avis for the upcoming Quentin Tarantino film, Inglourious Basterds. In the video, Shelton recreates the classic June Havoc performance taken from the 1940s comedy Hey Diddle Diddle. The song will be featured on the soundtrack and in the highly anticipated film, which hits theaters nationwide on August 21st. Check out the AOL Spinner premiere of the exclusive video and check out Tarantino discussing exactly how the song was chosen!
