Will Tarantino prove his monkey style kung fu is the best with his next flick'
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with some very interesting words from Quentin Tarantino about his next flick. I got an email this morning right before I had to drive through about 150 miles of Buttfuck Nowhere, Texas that had a copy of the Total Film story. I just got back to my computer and boy has this story spread through the internet like wildfire via the AP wire. Here's Total Film's story:
Rather than a long-rumoured World War 2 epic, the auteur is set to film a kung-fu movie shot entirely in Mandarin, with a second version shot simultaneously with a kitsch out-of-sync English dubbed soundtrack.
Movie magazines and Internet sites across the world have reported that the award-winning Writer and Director’s next project would be “Inglorious Bastards,” but in an interview with Total Film, Tarantino revealed he would in fact be working on an entirely different and completely leftfield movie.
The news was revealed when unsuspecting Total Film journalist Mark Dinning visited Tarantino’s home to deliver two awards from the magazine’s 2004 Readers Awards for Tarantino’s Kill Bill series – Man Of The Year and Action Scene Of The Year:
“Inglorious Bastards, Not yet, Man. My next movie is gonna be another kung fu that’s gonna blow your asses off. Everyone still thinks I’m doing Bastard’s next, but before I do that I want to do something much smaller.”
Tarantino continued: “The next movie will be in Mandarin! I enjoyed shooting all the Japanese stuff in Kill Bill, so much so that this whole film will be entirely in Mandarin. If you’re not up to watching it with subtitles I really want to do a full-on dubbed version. Maybe shooting two Kill Bill movies has spoiled me but f&*k it – sue me!”
Whilst no release date or plot details have been revealed for this as yet unnamed project, Total Film magazine’s Mark Dinning believes the film is set to be a true labour of love for the Director:
“I’m not surprised by this move to make a movie in a foreign language – the man is a walking encyclopaedia of weird and wonderful movies and he loves kung fu. He’s not copying Mel Gibson, he just wants to make a genuine martial arts film with all the ideas he has spilling over from shooting Kill Bill.
“The more we think about this announcement – his new kung-fu project has Tarantino written all over it - a mix of the barmy and the brilliant that film fans will be excited about seeing. The number of UK film fans who voted for Kill Bill in our awards shows that people love his work and will look forward to this next movie. ”I'm not sure if this is truly what Quentin is going to go forward on first or just what has his excitement at the time this Total Film writer dropped off those awards, but if it is I'll definitely be excited to see it. If there's one American director out there that gets the kung fu genre (and all its subgenres) it's Tarantino. He understands the characters, the mythos and the action. Imagine stripping down KILL BILL to ONLY the chop sockey elements. Sure, that would make the KILL BILL flicks less impressive, especially without the spaghetti western influence, but imagine that style, that energy focused into a full blown kung fu flick. I'm giddy to see INGLORIOUS BASTARDS, but if he feels he needs to build up to it via another badass kung fu flick, then I'm game, too... as long as he gets his lazy ass back to Austin and puts on the next QT fest before he rolls film!!

overrated director of all time will do a 100% kung fu movie (will he steal 100% of his "ideas" from classics and obscure CHINESE martial arts flicks? Of course he will!) that will become of course the most overrated kung fu movie of all time...
And of course, almost nobody (I mean BIG audiences) will give a shit about Kung Fu Hustle...
This world sucks. -
Who the hell wants to see this? Stick to Inglorious and by the way, KB VOLUMES 1 AND 2 are overrated. Also, that new Star Wars poster is terrible, also, Anne Hathaway's getting naked in her next movie also, Peter o' Toole called Wolfgang Petersen a "kraut!" Go over to IMDB, it's all there!
-
...with shitty dialogue and just enough story to justify a bunch of "cool action". And of course, the Tarantino sicophants will such his cock until his asshole rumbles like a volcano and his brains come out of his peehole. KB 1 and 2 were very overrated. Try forgetting that Tarantino did it for a while and just watch the damn thing as another movie. It's not that good.

with Kung Fu IN MANDARIN. that would be sweet.

the actors will be speaking in english but it will be dubbed in mandarin.

I've heard a lot of people say Volume 2 is the best film of 2004. Yeah ok! I just don't see what was so great or "Cool" about the films. I know they are the type of films movie geeks will love, but geeze, the films just aren't that good.

Look, KB *was* overrated. Yet it was a fun piece of tripe. RESERVOIR DOGS meets kung fu theater. And so what? It was a fun time and very, very fun to watch. I see QT's works as a twisted, adult version of Pixar. Always branching out into new genres while keeping the same form. The only problem Isee here is that he's staying with the chop-saki. I'd love to see him do a superhero flick. Think PULP MYSTERY MEN FICTION and you get where I'm going. I want to see him do a RomCom, a retrospective war movie, . Whether you find his works innovative or derivative, he's always trying new things and acheiving favorable results overall. Kevin Smith, one of my other favorite directors, should take heed.

So in searching far and wide for inspiration for his next film, Tarantino's settled on remaking the comedy KUNG POW: ENTER THE FIST from just the other year? Good going, Quentin. Little late on that idea -- Steve Oedekerk beat you to it AND has a sequel that'll hit long before your flick.
-
Reservoir Dogs - was definately not original, but still pretty awesome. Pulp Fiction - is in my top 3 favorite films of all time. I think he absolutely peaked as a filmmaker at that moment and will never attain that kind of creative synergy again. Jackie Brown - not even Quentin's own story but taken from Elmore Leonard's Rum Punch, and a very forgetable film. Kill Bill - very, very overrated. Is there anything original in it? I can hardly quote anything from it. Is there a memorable line in either of them? And Jackie Brown and Kill Bill is all he has directed in over ten years!

SciFi / Space Opera flick. #### Screw WWII flicks. They're so 1940's
-
Holy shit! I just used that same reference today too. Right now I'm watching "Fire Walk with Me". I don't think I'll ever sleep well again.
-
Hope it isn't as blithely racist and stupid as Kill Bill. It will doubtless be just as mass worshiped years in advance. Oh crap I'm already contributing to the hype.
-
THAT sounded like it'd be cool.

Seriously, step back from your player-hation for a moment. A guy that has lived and breathed kung-fu movies his whole life, is finally making a kung-fu movie! Not a collage, not an homage, not a "Spaghetti" Western-mish-mash movie. A KUNG FU MOVIE. If this doesn't get you excited, then YOU DON'T LIKE KUNG FU MOVIES. Take it from a true Kung Fu fan, THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR A KICK ASS KUNG-FU MOVIE. P.S. Hero and Crouching Tiger, although good films, DO NOT COUNT. I'm talking about "MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE"-good. Those we don't get too often. The best pure martial arts movie of the last 5 years was probably ONG-BAK, from THAILAND!

Wasn't it going to be set during the time of the first film, only more stories spaced out amoungst?

Just look at the amount of source material that he can blatently steal from.

This post was about Quentin Tarantino, not Michael Moore. You are totally in the wrong place for your political rant. It was a bit long-winded too.

This Brit caught Q after one apple martini too many. It's bollocks.
-
Complain about QT if you like but all geeks will go out and watch this no matter how crappy it is.
Thinking of voting G W Bush? Have a laugh see what the rest of the world thinks.

now even Quint is getting "giddy". I thought it was only Harry who got "giddy". And, again, we have another American using that foreign word "whilst" when the perfectly good red-blooded American word "while" would have done.
-
I want to see how much "inspiration" Quentin got from this film when he made KILL BILL
-
even that moron Tony Scott couldn't fuck the script up
-
Bring on the kung-fu amputees - no arms vs. no legs anyone?
A bit of high-speed underground ninja-tunneling is always good as well.
I wanna see some shit like that. Crazy monks with gnarly special powers can make any film good. FACT. -
...actually he can rest easy. as long as he's got inglorious bastards in his back pocket he can do whatever he wants in the meantime. it's a qt filmfest and bastards is the main attraction, the movie the masses are waiting for. we'll just have to sit through his less commerical stuff first..

Thanks for playing, check out is at noon.

would be Tarantino doing a real Elektra movie- based on the Miller and Sienkiewicz miniseries and starring someone much more exotic than the corn-fed bird that is Jennifer Garner. Think Catherine Zeta-Jones only younger... Alas- with the spin-off flick from Daredevil on it's way- my dream is ruined :(

You know that feeling that you get when you've been awake for 3 days in Vegas drinking straight shots of Jack Daniel's and you lost a couple hundy at the blackjack tables and you're on your way back to LA and it seems like you've been driving for 10 hours and you're only halfway and the giant BunBoy thermometer shows 121 degrees and your air conditioning is out and it feels like all your joints are filled with sand and all you want to do is sleep the rest of the month?
that's the feeling i get when i read that QT is making another movie. of any kind.
