As Far As Fanboy Wetdream Casting Goes - Tarantino's Dream Cast for INGLORIOUS BASTARDS is pretty much the tits!
Hey folks, Harry here... Now somewhere in the United States there's a pair of bodybuilding twins that go by the alias, ABking that are pumping iron with a shit-eating grin on their faces hoping against hope that Quentin gets his dream. Now - from what I hear, Quentin also wants John Travolta on this cast, along with Harvey Keitel, Adam Sandler and Michael Madsen. Now - if Quentin gets his way, this will be the most star-studded WWII flick since THE LONGEST DAY or A BRIDGE TOO FAR. This would absolutely rule. Quentin spent months researching the period, but also - I have to say, knowing what Quentin's fave war films are... movies like THE MERCENARIES, GUNS OF NAVARONE, EASTERN CONDORS along with the works of Sam Fuller, John Sturges and a number of others... He's steeped in the best of the best, and if he does to this genre, what he did to the Shaw Brothers Martial Arts Revenge film... well, we're in for one helluva great time. Here's AB...
ABking here,
Can the fan of the TWO greatest action stars of ALL time get any happier? The answer, YES!!! Why? Because QT has plans to not only team Sly and Arnold in a WWII bloodfest, but he wants Bruce Willis to join in on the fun. Seems Tarantino had this planned since 1998. Thanks to TAF for the exclusive:
TheArnoldFans have the story!

That's pretty cool "geek" casting, but how do you write them in as (presumably) American soldiers?
-
I'm as big a fan as anyone, but stop being such a fucking gloryhog!!
-
But this will remain a dream, I guess. Wasn't there a plan in the early or mid 1990s to make a movie with these three. Hell, we all know Sly could use a hit since the last decent thing he did was 1993's Cliffhanger (Copland was mediocre drama with a great cast). Ahnuld won't be playing a lead as long he plays boss of California and Bruce... well, I could see him do it easily. But I want Steve Buscemi fighting nazis. That'll be so much cooler than the three muscle men combined.

Get these actors on film together before it becomes too late. Tarantino is one of the only directors out there who could make a project like this and not turn it into a camp fest. Bring on the Dirtiest Dozen!

*shudder*

A movie with Arnold, Sly and Bruce in it has me intrigued.
-
But someone accidentally put in Adam Sandler's name as if that would be a good thing.
Plus, I think QT is casting Arnold as Jason in the new Friday the 13th movie.

...all the main characters would have had to have been WWI vets who returned to fight in WWII, because most soldiers in WWII were much younger. That would be a good premise though anyway.

Let us never forget Arnie is austrian so he can speak the lingo German for him would not be a huge leep, speaking German, jack boots, SS uniform, subtitles Faaantaaastic. Now all we need is subtitles for sly and we are off.

Fuck Superman, fuck X-Men 3, fuck The Davinchi Code, fuck Mission:Impossible 3 etc...INGLORIOUS BASTARDS directed by Tarantino and starring SCHWARZENEGGER & STALLONE will be the must see EVENT film of 2006!!! Add to them Bruce Willis, John Travolta and others (too bad no Mel Gibson) and the film will clean house. SAVING PRIVATE RYAN will have nothing on this WWII film. Now maybe Joel Silver will get Arnie, Sly or Bruce to star as SGT.ROCK after INGLORIOUS BASTARDS. Maybe Arnie can get Robert Rodriguez to direct WITH WINGS AS EAGLES. I hope this war film will start a healthy new relationship with Arnie and Sly working with QT & Rodriguez!!!

In 1998? 4 years after the movie came out?
-
He is not funny nor a good actor. He has two acting modes; soft-spoken retarded guy and crazy loud voice guy, neither of which is funny or original. His movies are all cliched Hollywood romcom tripe that appeals to the lowest common denominator. Him, David Spade, Rob Schneider, and a few other talentless SNL rejects that luckily escape my mind at this moment should spend the rest of their lives being as unnoticeable and unexposed as they possibly can. I would recommend somewhere in Siberia.

I dunno, Punchdrunk Love was a pretty decent performance
by monkey butler
But yeah, Tarantino'd have to work some serious magic to get a good dramatic performance out of Sandler without him at least once resorting to shouting stupidly. But then again, Jim Carrey's increasingly successful at that, so I guess there's still hope.
-
Am I the only one who finds this premise of having all big name actors play the lead roles kind of fucked up. You're not gonna have a good if it has these kind of actors acting (albeit badly) in the same movie. Anyway didn't Arnold say he wasn't going to act while he was governor!? Keep dreaming.
-
It will NEVER HAPPEN.
-
Why are there so many rushed projects lately? It doesn't even sound like he has a finished script and he wants to shoot it quickly this year and rush it out next year. How about it taking as long as it takes to do a good job? I guess that isn't the way Hollywood business works, but it'd be nice.

by stigmata
Chuck Norris. That's right, I said it. Damn hell! I loved to get a QT spin on some Enter the Dragon/The Octagon/Silent Rage/*Forced Vengeance*/*Lone Wolf McQuade*/Missing in Action *2*/Invasion U.S.A. action. Don't forget Norris was The Man (see these films young 'uns to understand) and can be again if he gets cold blooded. Norris is the baddest of the bad in these films. Shit, when I was a kiddo in the 80's I used to DREAM about Norris from these films hooking up with Stallone from First Blood/Rocky, and Arnold from Commando/Terminator/Predator, and Eastwood from damn near everything. Gene Hackman?? I always saw these warriors getting together and doing something along the lines of Uncommon Valor. Do this thing, Quentin. Go hardcore, lose Sandler, and, if casting any Brits, make sure to get yer paws on Ian McShane (dandifying them is old hat, give 'em rage, make 'em deadly...the S.A.S. were all business). Don't. Get. Cute. I want to sit in the theater and get the preconceptions and smarm kicked right outta my head. I want grueling brilliance, I want what I haven't seen, I want it sooner rather than later (it ain't like Schwarzenegger's gonna pull an Uma with an unscheduled pregnancy, even if he was in Junior). Settle the fuck down and fire it up.
-
I saw the original Inglorious Bastards about twenty times on HBO as a kid. It was terrible, but for some reason I loved it.
-
i think "inglorious" was in a question on the SATs like 8 years ago. other than that, I can't remember the last time I heard it used. BTW, TIM ROTH better be in this SHIT!!! I think it would be cool if some of the soldier guys were the fathers/ grandfathers of characters in other QT movies.
-
.....was an idiotic, stupid idea!
-
IT just takes a guy who really loves making movies to dream up a project like this, too bad it'll never happen, unless production is put off another year or two. Not for time available, just The Kid & I is a family movie, I don't think Arnold can really put himself in the R-rated world of QT while he has a constituency to worry about.
-
Your idea is brilliant, to say the least - I'd love to see Chuck step up to the plate one last time and be in a kick-ass war flick, to remind everyone that he was still the most balls-out Cannon video action hero of the 80's. More people are killed in "Invasion USA" than most war films combined. That said, I'd also love to see Ah-nold play a Nazi villain but I think that's pretty much impossible. Kind of bad PR to be wearing a SS uniform when you're supposed to be the governor of California. That said, Prince Harry got away with it and he wasn't even making a movie...

"I have always dream of having these 3 superstars together in a movie. Initially Inglorious Bastards was suppose to be in production way back in 1998 with these casts but I shifted my attention on my other projects such as Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction and Sin City."
Since when does Tarantino talk like an Entertainment Weekly article translated into Japanese and back? This one's a little bit hard to swallow there ABKing. To name one example why would he be working on Pulp Fiction still four years after it had been released? This is the type of basic fact checking that would be helpful. I blame Arnold for this fiasco. -

Schwarzenegger & Stallone will be BACK...thanks to TARANTINO!!!
by abking
All this talk of Arnie being apart if this QT WWII will soon be known in October when he decides if he will run again or not. My guess is, even if he does run again, why wouldn't he want to find time to star in a film by Tarantino? The man does wonders for anyones career. Stallone will do this film because QT will beg him to do it. Tarantino has stated MANY times that Sly is the # 1 actor he would love to work with. As for Arnie not doing the film because it is HARD R...that is a dumb statement. If the script is great, fuck R!!! R ratings for Arnie and Sly are great anyways...not the pussy PG-13 todays actions stars thrive for. The way I see it, Arnie will comeback with TERMINATOR 4 followed by INGLORIOUS BASTARDS (if he does it) then either KING CONAN, TRUE LIES 2 or BATTLE ANGEL with JAMES CAMERON. Stallone will make RAMBO IV followed by INGLORIOUS BASTARDS then most likely ROCKY VI and possibly take control of DEATHRACE 3000 from Paul "I suck" Anderson. Arnie and Sly are going to be back BIG TIME whether you like it or not. I'm sure Tarantino will wait for Arnie to free up some time from governorship. With international box-office names like STALLONE & SCHWARZENEGGER, QT will have the third film that grosses over 1 billion dollars worldwide next to TITANIC and LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING....just kidding!

And it shows. Let's face it, it was Arnie's body that made him a movie superstar; not his ability to act. If by some weird chance they got Arnie to act again it'd be a bit part at best. Honestly, the man might speak German but he'd fuck up the film regardless of who was directing. The other stars, (except Sandler), might be an interesting mix on screen. Does anyone know when Tarantino plans to release this film 'cos i seem to remember talk of kill bill ages before the movie came out.

by iamjacksuserid
If you've ever seen Pumping Iron, Arnold is so full of life and energy (not to mention arrogance) and he's just amazing to watch. That's what also sold tickets. John Wayne was the same way; larger than life in charm and body, but not a terrific actor. Better than Arnold though. Most of both of their movies are complete crap, but they have a few real winners.
-
He'd ask for 30 million, 20 million if it's a small role. That's about the budget of a QT flick. No chance in hell this will happen, and I'm glad because I don't want to see Schwarzenegger's horse-toothed grin on the big screen again. Stallone and Willis are easily manageable, though, so why not?
-
"Your" is spelled correctly. What the hell is your point????? I wasn't saying "you're."
-
"You're" is the contraction of "You are", so if you are calling the majority of the people on this board "retarded" then you can't use "Your" unless you're an idiot. Let's add condescending to that also.
-
A war movie with Schwarzenegger, Stallone and Willis is an obvious team-up. I imagine Arnold would play a "sympathetic" Nazi.
-
he's using "retarded" and "juvenile" as adverbs, not adjectives...the possesive form is correct because he's saying "your (adverb) practice of...", not "you are retarded, juvenile practice of..." which makes no sense...************************************************************ by the way, though it will never happen, I'd LOVE to see Nazi Arnold!
-
You won't get Arnie in a WWII movie while he's in office. Lest we forget, he can't act either. Sly and Bruce would be good though - Madsen and Willis are a bit too similar though maybe. Thinking about it, all the names mentioned seem a bit old given the average age of WWII soldiers (which was 26 - th-th-th-thanks Paul Hardcastle).

With this kind of cast, have qt stick with a Alistair Maclean subject for WW2, like Eagles Dare or Gun Of Navarrone... somthing a bit more out of it , not trying to out do Band of Brothers or somesuch. HMS Ulysses would rule as a start.
-
Thanks a lot! Now I'm an idiot. You are certainly correct. That will teach me to carefully read someone's post before I talkback. At least I hope it does. Of course, he is still a bit of a wanker.
-
...the summer of 1989. Creak, creak.
-
But my point still stands. And yes, I'm old enough to remember the eighties -era action flicks. They were, by and large, crappy cartoons. The main difference is that now they're crappy CGI-driven cartoons.
-
"we don't want to go to war today, but the lord of the whips says, 'nay! nay! nay!" that song, & some petty booka trax better be on the eventual soundtrack.
-
...Arnie will doubtless play an expatriate German or Austrian in the U.S. Army battling the nazis. There were plenty of those in real life and I'm sure Arnie would find a role like that more appealing than a nazi. It makes for all kinds of opportunities for cool scenes where he steals a German uniform and infiltrates enemy strongholds. You know it makes sense.

I've heard QT comparing what he wants to do with Inglorious Bastards to Leone's The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. Can you imagine Arnold, Sly, and Willis playing out that sort of situation, set during WWII? It'd be absolutely amazing. I can't wait.
-
Wasn't that a war flick that Arnie was pushing hard to go through where he played a Nazi, though a Nazi who changed sides to help free some prisoners, but still, don't think the role of a Nazi is something Arnold would necessarily distance himself from.

Add Bruce alas McClane to the mix and it is the perfect combo to put your own nuts on your chins. Now, if you add Eastwood as a General than this thing might be better than porn...CHHERS Amigos!
-
"My guess is, even if he does run again, why wouldn't he want to find time to star in a film by Tarantino? The man does wonders for anyones career." Do you not get it? If Arnold stays in politics, he's not doing any acting. Period. Why wouldn't he work with QT? Because if Arnold runs again, his acting career is essentially over. Get over it. The man has bigger goals than to play a cartoon hero in your little fanboy wank dreams.

Arnie does IG. It's a huge hit. He wins a supporting actor Oscar, decided to re-focus on movies, gives up politics. The White House is safe for some Democrat to win and everything goes back to normal.

Something I'm sure Willis and Stallone would be willing to do (as they have done it in the past), don't know about Schwarzenegger (and of course if Schwarzenegger WOULDN'T take a paycut, the other two stars probably wouldn't either, killing the whole thing). But it doesn't matter at any rate, the headline says it all, this is just fanboy wet dreams, even if in this case the fanboy happens to be QT.

10 Things Quentin Tarantino must do before making Inglorious Bas
by jaguart
10. Run some shit over with a vintage WW2-era tank 9. Stop showering and shaving and start regular steroid injections and an all meat diet 8. Start storing his urine and sweat in jars and every now and then huff em' for inspiration 7. Blow something up really big just to see what it feels like 6. Pull out one of his own teeth with a pair of pliers 5. Shack up with a Vietnamese cheerleading squad whose menstrual cycles are in sych 4. Pick a barfight on a dirt floor with James Cameron and John Milius using only bareknuckle fists and cut glass 3. Knife fight Tommy Lee Jones 2. Carry Rosanna Arquette, Uma Thurman and Daryl Hannah off into the wilderness with nothin' but a gallon of whisky and a loin cloth 1. Kill a man with his bare hands
-
. . .the scope of imagination in this talkback is a little slow. Why does Arnold have to be German? For heaven's sake, he could easily be a resistance fighter. Just because he has an Austrian accent doesn't mean he was related to Hitler (even though his father was a real NAzi.
-
Read this and tell me this is not the work of some fanboy - " Initially Inglorious Bastards was suppose to be in production way back in 1998 with these casts but I shifted my attention on my other projects such as Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction and Sin City." Pulp Fiction was made in 1994, so why would he be focusing his attention on it? And his work on Sin City was limited at best, i heard he only shot a day of stuff. There is also no source to back up that quote. Typical fanboy BS. Anyways, Tarantino wont make another movie for at least another 4 to 6 years im betting.

-
...anyway, Stallone isn't going to cost 20 mill. Do you remember his last hit? What was it, Cliffhanger in '93? He'd do this project for a hot meal. Bruce Willis' "Hostage" ate total ass at the box office and M. Night Shamylan [sp] doesn't have anything going on so I don't think Willis would front for a big paycheck. The only one who would cost anything would be Arnold but I figure he would do a movie for less than his asking price to get into the spotlight again. They're all past their prime and can't afford to be premadonnas anymore.

OF THOSE WHO BELONG IN IT??? Awesome. Just awesome. Just the whole idea of it. Arnold could have an excellent role, Nazi or American. And to see Arnold and Sly in the same flick, working with or against, under a great director??? And to add other big-time actors??? And to have the small roles played by the likes of Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford, Charles Bronson, Gene Hackman, Jim Brown, ...I mean, the list could go on and on, no matter how small the role. How cool would that be??? Every big-time actor should want a role in such a film. Awesome. I just can't say that enough. For me, I would be every bit as hyped about such a film as ANY superhero movie. And from me, that's REALLY sayin' somethin'.

by nicemarmot
Thanks, man. That line just made my morning. As for this movie - please - there's a better chance of Michael Jackson returning to normal. So if you're gonna dream, dream big. Like the WWII I'm producing. It will star Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Toshiro Mifune, James Coburn, Clint Eastwood, James Cagney, Richard Conte, Alec Guinness, and Richard Harris. To be directed by James Cameron (ca. 1984-1991). Oh, and any WWII movie starring Adam Sandler won't be 'the tits', it'll just be tits up.

Care to elaborate? I've never heard anyone bash it before.

I can't wait for Lucas's SW kiddie film - http://img204.exs.cx/img204/8928/rots8kh.jpg

Would be probably THE single most ballsy move he has/would ever made/make. It'd raise my interest in the movie 100% and I'd also have a little more respect for him as an actor. He's too willing to either whore himself out to family-freindly shit or just rehashed previous victories. I really hate to admit it but the idea of Arnie the Nazi and Sly back being kick-ass like he was in First Blood does put a big shit-eating grin on my face.... we'll see.
-
even moreso than that expression itself. No one has any sex. We live in our parents' basement. Blah blah blah.

'nuff said.
-
He has NEVER played the bad guy(well, Terminator I suppose, until they made him the good guy). Don't make him a foot soldier either(too old), but a high ranking general or SS prick. I gurantee , as great as this movie will be from beginning to end, Arnold would steal the show!!! Nothing campy. No "super villan" performances...just a soft spoken delivering of QT's dialouge(in German) and that piercing ice cold stare of his. It would be CHILLING. BUT>>>>>this of course is a sensitive area for Arnold. He might not ever touch this.But really, the last thing I need to see is another Arnold the hero...especially the whole "German ex-pat, steal the German uniform, enter Nazi HQ " shtick. That's too Mac Gyver. We don't have to see him gunning down Jews or anything, just a ruthless milatary man following orders. If QT has something like this in mind, I hope Arnold will at least consider it.
-
A critical mass off some of the biggest icons of my childhood. I really want to Arnold do a good movie again, when he is firing on all cylinders with a qaulity director, no one can match him. I just wonder if he is still open to taking risks as his recent movie choices have not been inspired. It was nice that to see with T3 he realised J Mostow had an idea of what he was doing and the let the guy get on with it. With a strong director like QT and that cast, it would be a dream come true for me and is just the sort of project to suit Schwarzenegger etc in this phase of their careers.
-
Paul Newman was quoted recently as saying he and Redford are looking for a project to do together, as Newman, at 80, is thinking about retiring from movies and quitting auto racing to spend more time with his wife. So maybe QT's thinking about THESE two actors? It's just as likely as AS and SS at this point.

For the record, the INGLORIOUS BASTARDS screenplay is completely finished, and QT has said he believes it's the best thing he's ever written. He was working on it before he started working seriously on KILL BILL, and he was trouble ending it, he just kept coming up with good stories. According to his interview on Charlie Rose last year, he looked at writing KILL BILL as a way to teach himself how write a shorter script and come up with an ending, and we all know how that turned out--what was conceived as a fast-paced 90 minute adventure turned into a 4 hour mega-epic. In any event, QT learned from the experience and finally came up with an ending for IB. But, as he said on Charlie Rose and elsewhere, he has like THREE movies worth of screenplay. It's a fucking monster. So I wonder if it's gonna be divvied up into two, there's gonna be like two three-hour flicks.

Arnold will likely neeeeever take another lead role in a film ag
by johnnytremaine
When's he going to do it? Will it be in between running for office again (and winning), governing California, or petitioning to amend the Constitution of the U.S.A in order to run for President?
He may do a no-risk cameo sometime more as a goof, but guys, his major acting career is over. -
This movie MUST have Jean Claude van Damme as a pair of twin Nazis. It must!
-
Guess the "reporter" was too busy guzzling a muscle-building protein shake to hit the spell check? And am I the only one who thought this sounded like complete and utter bollocks? I guess the constant typos had an effect, but comments like "I shifted my focus to Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction and Sin City" and the constant use of the words "very well"... well, to quote Casey McCall, "It lacks a certain ring of truth, yes." To the best of my knowledge, QT's Inglorious Bastards project was dreamed up AFTER Pulp Fiction, plus I think QT himself would admit he's hardly focused on Sin City - seeing he was a last minute addition to direct A SINGLE SCENE for his pal Robert Rodriguez, and we're also led to believe the ever-thorough QT wouldn't mention focusing on a little thing we like to call Jackie Brown? To me, it all sounds like some desperate fan trying to give a couple of dead careers a bit of a rev-up. I'd be believing Harry's cast roundup (seeing as he actually, uh, KNOWS THE GUY) more than this pants link any day of the week.

Stallone still commands 20 million a movie, but has shown that he's willing to take backend paychecks (Cop Land and Spy Kids 3-D for example). With his HIT reality series (which is GREAT by the way) THE CONTENDER, Sly is HOT again and is all over the place in 2005! ROCKY 6 and RAMBO 4 should both be out sometime in 2006! Arnold will announce he will NOT run for a second term come October (I have a gut feeling). He will be back with TERMINATOR 4 and possibly KING CONAN! Willis is gearing up for DIE HARD 4!!! What better than INGLORIOUS BASTARDS for all three to follow their sequels with!!!??? I agree that Arnie should play a Nazi bad guy following orders and not some Nazi turn good guy! He should take a big risk now considering he is near 60 and has already become a governor like he dreamed for so many years!
-
Mickey fuckin' Rourke. QT's a fan, Rourke's on the comeback trail, and this film sounds big enough to fit Rourke into somewhere. (Honeslty, my fingers are crossed for three two-hour long films. Which would require something that I know Taratino and Bob and Harvey have in spades: Balls.)
-
if it ever gets made with this "dream cast", which of course it won't.
-
...of Ah-nuld making a presidential bid? Did we change the constitution to allow non-native-born Americans to hold the highest office in the land? Was that part of the Patriot Act or something? I suppose it's fitting to speculate about such a thing, though, in a talkback about something else that will never happen - namely this cast for this movie. Unless of course QT pulls another idea out of someone else's book and changes it to be more like Bubba Ho Tep. He could set it in the 1950s in a post WWII veterans' hospital where Da Governator, a former Nazi commander who survived the war by passing himself off as a wounded American soldier, plots the deaths of all the other old fuckers listed in this carbon-dated dream cast. He could call it "Those Inglorious Bastards vs. a Grumpy Old Nazi." I wouldn't put anything past QT once you get him talking about something.

Nothings been posted since saturday....

Other than Eric Bana's decent little performance, I just felt that the film was cobbled together and designed to make us all feel better about the impending war on Terror. It also didn't really show much of the Somalian side of things, and didn't question the 'why' of the US Forces being there at all. They made a mistake by getting involved and consequently fucked up, yet we have to sit through 2 hours of patriotic bollocks for dialogue justifying their noble intentions. I also got pretty sick of Scott's filters and slo mo tracking shots of helicopters. Ridley Scott has swapped his brother Tony for the 'completely over the top shooting of a movie' manual. It needed to be dirty and minimalist, it wasn't. Tigerland is the ONLY decent war movie America has made in twenty years, because it was understated and didn't bludgeon the audience with US Army bullshit.
-
If you say Black Hawk Down wasn't dirty then you just didn't watch it. You say that it doesn't go into the politics of the situation, the other view points, etc. but then complain that the movie wasn't minimalist. The fact that it covers 1 point of view (the view of the american soldiers)without getting into all their backstories (we don't even know most of their names) makes it minimalist to me. In fact I would venture to say that it's the most minimalist war movie I've seen storywise perhaps ever. If you would have prefered a movie with Bill Clinton talking through half the thing about why he did this and that, then by all means make it. I won't watch it. The movie follows the book, which is strictly about men in a perilous situation. At no point does it become an American propaganda film, in fact if anything it shows how pointless and dangerous bad forgein policies can be without rubbing your face in it.
-
Arnold? Sly? Why? A dream team of actors and that's the best he can come up with? How about Giovani Ribisi, Ryan Phillipe, Bruce Willis, Cole Hauser? Or wait... Here is the wetdream casting for the next Tarantino Movie: Bruce Campbell. Could you imagine?
-
KabukiBukaki, Bruce Campbell is no SLY or ARNOLD in LEGENDARY status!!! Casting STALLONE and SCHWARZENEGGER in one movie is an EVENT onto itself. These are two ICONS in once BIG TARANTINO movie! It smells like QT's most outrageous and AMBITIOUS film to date!!!
-
I agree that Bruce Campbell is not nearly as legendary as Arnold or Sly. And it would be a huge event if they were both cast in the same movie, let alone a Tarantino movie. I just think that they are both past their prime, not to mention that they weren't really good actors in the first place. And that is something that I've always enjoyed in Tarantino movies. The quality of the actors. But on the topic of Bruce Campbell, he has one thing that they don't. He has more "cool" in his little toe than Arnold has in his whole body. Arnold is at best, inadvertantly funny.
-
After reading an interview with Rodriguez about Quentin's directorial stint in Sin City, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Clive Owen is cast in the next movie. Rodriguez claims that after changing an internal monologue to an external one, Clive took five minutes to learn and perfectly deliver his lines. He also claims that this is all Tarantino can talk about now. So, I'm just sayin'...
-
For adolph I was leaning more towards a Vern Troyer, or that guy from Willow (Val Kilmer).
-
It'd really only work if Arnold and Sly have small roles. If they star in this movie, than the fact that they are working together would clearly overshadow the story and the movie itself. That's all anyone would care about. And chances are, they'd ham it up worse than Nic Cage in Con Air. Now there's an idea, I wouldn't mind seeing an Adaptation or 8mm calibur acting performance from Cage in a Tarantino movie.
-
QT MUST cast Jet Li as a renegade Japanese soldier who gets lost and ends up in the Ardennes forest where he is captured by French resistance fighters and trained to be a dog soldier. Then he is set loose on the advancing Nazi armies. Also, he meets up with his TWIN and there is this great four way twin action sequence between Jet Li #1, Jet Li #2, Jean Claude van Damme #1 and Van Damme #2.
-
And when Sly and the troops liberate the prisoners at the concentration camps, we have Michael Jackson, Lara Flynn Boyle and Mary Kate Olsen as the now free survivors. Oh, and Britney Spears as the fat wife of the Nazi commandante.
-
just to see what everyones reaction is.... QT isnt thick. He KNOWs it'd be big fucking news and seeing as he is pretty much King Geek he'd get just as much of a boner as most of the people here... I hope he's reading. oh, and like I said before... Arnie as a Nazi please. Thank you
-
Dear QT: You have a well-deserved reputation for bringing out the best in actors. Uma and Travolta owe the last ten years to you. With your great talent, maybe you can get a good performance out of Adam Sandler and Sylvester Stallone. But not even you can get Arnold to actually act. I have loved every one of your movies, but may have to pass on this one.
-
It's not a lie that QT has written a script called "Inglorious Bastards" (a title he has "borrowed" from a little-known Fred Williamson movie of the 70's, btw.) Nor that he's been talking about making it for years (he said he wanted Sandler in it after the two worked in "Little Nicky" together.) But as noted by posters above, this "QT quote" is a total invention both technically ("Pulp Fiction" was from 94 not 98) and in terms of not sounding like QT's voice. Still,it is exciting, isn't it? The problem remains, given QT's work habits, we won't be seeing this movie until 2008 or so -- and many of his acting choices will be that much older by then. Still, I look forward to it when it happens for real.
-
...other than seeing Chuck Norris and Nazi Jean-Claude Van Damme catch each other with a bone-splitting roundhouse kick over some god forsaken trench (Norris wins), or Carpazo tangling with Nazi Arnold (Arnold wins), what I'D REALLY LIKE TO KNOW is, will Q.T. give 50% screen time to both Axis and Allied powers or will he skew it? What other director gets AICNer's blood cooking like QT? Richard Kelly (so far)? Also, call me an asshole, but a Tom Selleck cameo would floor me. Yeah, snicker ya sonofagun. Now ponder...

Bong: QT spent six months straight in the library researching IB. He was coming up with story ideas as he read through the *history*. This is quite different from his reported year-long diet of exploitation flicks in preparation for KILL BILL. WWII flicks like A BRIDGE TOO FAR, THE DIRTY DOZEN et al. may inform the filmmaking, but as for the story(ies) themselves, expect originality. And never forget, this is QT's super-homage to THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY!

Where did you get your info? Also, why do you think it is Tarantino's "super-homage" to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly?

by big_bubbaloola
or did that little news story pass you guys by a while back. Some news reporter dug in Arnulds backgroud a long time ago and found that his Dad was either a member of the Nazi's or that he collabarated with 'em (after all his Dad was a policeman as far as I remember). Ok, so lots of people HAD to help out the Hun, but Arnie was very embarassed by this and buried it quick. If he did play a Nazi, all the old crap would be kicked up again and hurt his campaign to ammend the consitiution regarding nationality of the President.
-
So he probably won't play a Nazi - but stories about Arnie's dad aren't gonna make a blind bit of difference. They are, by your own admission Bubbaloola, old news - very, very old news. Arnie disowned his father a long time before he set foot in Hollywood, so whatever his dad did is completely irrelevant. What, you think it would affect his decision to appear in a FUCKING MOVIE? Do you not think his role as Governor of California might have been affected somewhat if this information was at all significant? Nah, Arnie won't be in this film - because he's now a politician, not because of anything the old man did. Natch!
-
Fuckin' A! Thin Red Line had stars coming out of its anus - what the fuck is Harry on?

Cast. Rourke. Now.

A shitload of Nazis advancing....Stallone ripping a machine gun off of a crashed helicopter. A beaten down Bruce Willis facing a platoon of Nazis with a gun with one bullet. Arnold ripping his swatiska[sp] arm band off, lighting a cigar and delivering a kickass line before unloading on his former Nazi comrads...drop your cynicism for a minute and admit that that would kick ass!

You know it would be the shit if Sly, Arny, and Bruno we're liberating a Stalag Luft III style concentration camp and they break down the door to an dankly lit isolation cell to see a bloated wet body chained to the wall. When they walk up to him, the figure slowly raises his head and reveals himself to be none other than... Ernest fucking Borgnine. Hell yeah.
