Madsen spills more on INGLORIOUS BASTARDS! It's gonna get RAW!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I'm busy packing up for a sojourn up to the Great White North (Vancouver to be specific), but I got this bit of news today from Joe Utichi over at FilmFocus who got some more info out of Michael Madsen about the Tarantino war flick INGLORIOUS BASTARDS. He's read the finished script and describes it in the vein of THE DIRTY DOZEN and confirms Adam Sandler's involvement. I really liked Sandler's dramatic turn in Paul Thomas Anderson's PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE, so I'm open to the idea. Madsen says not only is Sandler gonna be in it, but so are Tim Roth (yay!) and Eddie Murphy (...).
I love classic Eddie Murphy from his BEVERLY HILLS COP/48 HOURS/RAW/DELIRIOUS days and would love to see him regain some of his lost cool (DADDY DAY CARE, anyone?). Tarantino has a way with actors... look at Travolta in PULP against Travolta in BATTLEFIELD EARTH. Look at Sam Jackson in PULP and JACKIE BROWN against Sam Jackson in the prequels. I personally love the idea of Tarantino giving Murphy his cool back and I can't wait to see what a Tarantino World War II flick looks like! How about you folks?

this sound awesome.
-
this worries me. i hate Sandler, but I haven't seen Punch-Drunk Love... so maybe he's not as grating in his dramatic work as he is in his comedy
-
Let's hope he moves forward with this.
-
At least in the hands of Tarentino during a Dirty Dozen-type war flick, you can almost guarantee seeing both of these actors suffering violent, bloody deaths. And that's good.
-
just wondering.
-
Maybe Sandler can redeem himself?
-
Looks like all that bad poetry finally went to his head. HIS HEAD!! Get it? Heh.
-
I think Tarantino can being the cool back out of Eddie Murphy.
-
Eddie doesn't deserve anyone to throw him a cool role. He's blown it. Let him be in a modern Swiss Family Robinson or something.
-
As long as any decapitations/loss of limbs include a lawn sprinkleresque type of blood loss. It was cool then, but not in a WWII flick...
-
I mean does not include... damn
-
And Steve Martin, and Whoopi. And let's not forget Paris Hilton as zee germans.
-
or will there be two black guys.

Change it to Glorious Bastards. Inglorious could not be more cum
by riskebiz
Makes sense. Inglorious Bastards is too much of a mouthful. Remove the "In.."
-
please give me suggestions, I've come so far by listening to people who's scripts are so good that they've been snapped up by the studios, people like you.
-
Drop the In and just make it Glorious Bastards, turn Kill Bill into a movie that is so long that people will be bound t check there watches, oh, Kill Bill Volume Three should be anime. Please drop anything to do with Television and focus on film, Whats that you like TV? Well don't. Please me not your passion that brought us Pulp Fiction. Don't use Sandler he's a no talent hack who just likes to scream. You can't have lightning strike twice and pull another Travolta career altering performance out of a hat. Or maybe that's four times, not quite sure.
-
if Harrison Ford would work with Tarantino
-
i mean seriously, daddy day care and inglorious bastards are thematically the same.

See, Tarantino's direction can really do something with Sandler
by terry_1978
They're goofballs when given a goofy script, but with something like this....we may see a whole new side.
-
...he needs to make up his fucking mind and direct something!
-
"Norris" and "McShane" then that's fuckin' GREAT! The media always gets casting news mixed up so I'm SURE what has happened here is that Tarantino actually casted "Norris" and "McShane" (deep breaths, deeeeep breaths) and "van Damme" and "Schwarzenegger," as opposed to "Carrot Top" and "Bud Cort." Actually Bud Cort would be fine to get him back to his M.A.S.H. roots (only it'd play the irony card and be more of an ode to "Harold & Maude" instead!).
-
Old School Eddie Murphy was one funny mofo, I hope QT gives Murphy a better character than the last time he played Military in that piece of shit movie "Best Defence" with Dudley Moore. Bring out Delirious on DVD already mutherfuckers
-
there's a few roadblocks in the way, such as some actors whining about who dies in the film.
Script reputed to be fair. -
Gotta get in there and jab at the prequels every chance he gets. I wonder if this is becoming awkward for him in day to day life - this steak wasn't as good as that really good one I had in 1980 ... kind of like the Star Wars prequels. Hate them all you want, but check it at the door. There are plenty of worse things with Sam Jackson - The Negotiator, for instance, is drek of a much lower level than anything Lucas has ever done, Howard the Duck included. Anyway - been wanting to get that off my chest for a while. Viva Michael Madsen!
-
... it means something totally different. Inglorious: 1 : SHAMEFUL, IGNOMINIOUS
2 : not glorious : lacking fame or honor. Guess Tarintino has something else in mind.
-
gooding isn't even considered black anymore so tarantino needs to help him badly
-
Can anyone take Murphy seriously these days? I mean, when I see Murphy, I think "Haunted Mansion". He does have some of the creamiest thighs in Hollywood, though.
-
don't you people remeber 48hrs, Coming To America, Delirious and Beverly Hills Cop. FUCK!

Um, am I the only one who just doesn't want to see Adam Sandler
by chickychow
I have faith in Quentin, but I don't need this cast to be piled with names like these.
-
I think this film is what you were talking about. Don't think QT's is a remake, though: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076584/
-
Bastardier
-
so lame this practice is.
-
Quint just had to get that jab in - cheap. As if Jackson, on of the baddest mf'ers on the planet had anything to do with the Lucas' writing. And you know what else, Jackson wasn't terrible as Windu - HE JUST DIDN"T HAVE MUCH TO DO! Thats like me saying "Man Jackson was bad in Deep Blue Sea - ummm nevermind the fact that he died halfway through the movie" (in one of the coolest/most surprising/funniest death scenes ever!
-
Cause he can't stop talking about it. Seems every scoop related to this film are always coming from something he's said, Sandler, the film being broke into two pieces, now this bit.

And I don't want to see Eddie Murphy get his "cool" back
by gheorghe zamfir
You just know as soon as he regains whatever credibility he's lost in recent years he'll just turn it around to use it on more Pluto Nashes, Dolittles, and Nutty Professors. If QT wants to give a guy a break throw Keenan Ivory Wayans a bone, just to let the guy do something other than work for his little brothers. Or wrench Charles S. Dutton out from his world of TV movies.
-
Kurt would turn into a whole new badass in a QT movie.
And Eddie Murphy performs fucking beautifully with a great script - FACT -
Did anyone notice how Tarentino used actors in multiple settings? I have faith in his moviemaking and his ability to get a great performance out of people so maybe inglorous will be better than the slow scenes in Saving Private Ryan. We don't need a remake of the Dirty Dozen + 3.
-
I just wanna hear Eddie said to the nazi " Hi, I'm Buckwheat, eat leads, mothaf*cker."

Don't touch this with those little rat claws Sandler, you funny
by sgtelias
Are you serious? That guy has about as much believability in a hard core war flick as Tarantino in an acting role would. Former professional QB and now war badass. Pathetic delusions of masculinity.
-
!!!!
-
Think about the magic he pulled with Kill Bill. In essence that is the kind of movie the Original trilogy was. Tarantino would have understood that and given the movies direction instead of having all those elements that would have been cool (Darth Vader Frankenstein) just looking out of place. While Lucas tries to make good old shlock movies Tarantino actually CAN make them.
-
So who's gonna be snorting the line of coke in this one? My money's on Murphy. If you wanna shed that Disney image, you gotta do it right!
-
The fact of the matter is QT is NOT a hack and this film will own...Eddie Murphy is fine...but Adam Sandler? I am hesitant...but I must agree that Mark Hammil needs to be in this movie...for no other reason than to entertain me...oh and fuck you Quint the new triology was amazing...honestly hating the new trilogy is so 1999...get over it...
-
Holy crap. I loved PF, RD, even Jackie Brown. But KB 1/2a and KB 1/2b BLEW. Flashes of brilliance then bored off my ass. I was seriously happy to leave the theater at the end of KB 2. No DVD, no 2nd viewing. I've seen Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs many, many times and they are still fun. KB was so watered down to make it two movies it tastes like the new lame ass watered down Jack Daniels. QT is otherwise awesome. I hope IB is a return to form.
-
Eddie's been trying to promote his new family friendly career and he doesn't want his raunchy stand up routines released on DVD. I don't think he owns the rights to Raw, which got released on DVD, but I think he owns the rights to Delirous. I doubt we'll see him in Inglorious Bastards, since he seems to love his current career enough to suppres his old stand up movies. Charlie Murphy would kick ass in this film though. If you're gonna have Arnie, Sly and Bruce in the Movie, why not throw in Chuck Norris. Throw the guy a bone, and then kill him off early.

Original Music? Or more use of 70's classics?

I'll be first in line to see this when it comes out in 2012
by liberty valance
Love QT but he's the slowest, most lackadaisical fucker on the planet when it comes to developing his projects. Do you realize it was 7 YEARS between Jackie Brown and Kill Bill? The next few years he'll fuck around, direct a few TV episodes, do some shit with Robert Rodriguez, snort enough coke to kill Keith Richards twice over, and drop the occasional hint about Bastards just to keep us interested. Quentin I adore your movies but to paraphrase one of your own lines from True Romance, "You're a director. Direct, motherfucker!"
-
...what about Bowfinger? Now that is a fucking comedy classic in my book. But I don't think we'll see Ed in this flick as it just smacks of the same career revival talk that does the rounds before all of QT's films post Pulp Fiction. Would be nice though. (and it'd be nicer to get a Delirious DVD, too. GOOONEY GOO GOO!)
-
John Goodman and Ed O'Neill in this. I don't know why but the idea of these guys playing hardcases in a Tarantino movie really appeals to me.
-
Back in the days of Raw and Delirious Murphy took the baton from Pryor and ran with it. He was young and didnt give a fuck. Then his ego got in the way, followed by Disney big fat paycheques. Eddie Murphy has genius when his vanity ain't getting in the way - as someone said Bowfinger has been a very lonely high spot for him in the past 20yrs - he just needs the right opportunity and guidance to channel that it again. I call SAndler as a good choice, for some reason I can see him playing a cowardly opportunist character hiding alone under some rubble, just waiting for his sneaky chance to gain one over on his enemy and peers. Inglorious indeed. Mark Hamill, Lee Majors and Chuck Norris sound like a good call - if only Burt Reynolds hadn't gone a fucked up his face, then he would have been a shoe in.
-
I hate slow news days, sooo bored at work. Anyone see Tom Cruise on Ophra??? What a wanker!! Is he a bufty???.......... Dirty Dozen is an all time classic, there was an interview with QT a few years ago when he said Where Eagles Dare was his favourite War movie, so if its a cross between them two I'm there.
-
let your soul glow

All that's happening is Eddie Murphy is getting his dues the same with Christopher Lee,Travolta,Rouke,hauger and several others. You gotta remember that these people has inspired the current new breed of directors that are changing our industry. These guys like Tarintino,Rodriguez,Jackson are essentially casting people that were part of their film making childhood experiences and they get the chance to remind the general audience that with a decent script these people are good actors. Murphy like the others I mentioned has been in the wilderness for years of shite films. Of course many of those may be his own making but the point is Murphy has the talent and QT has the talent to draw it to the surface again. The thing about these directors is that they don't cast their "heroes" for the sake of it they cast them if they fit the part. Rouke was perfect for Marv,Christopher Lee is the definative Sarauman and If what Madsen say is true then QT has a part for Eddie Murphy that he is very suited for. I haven't seen a QT moive where a actor he chose for in a film is miscast in the role.
But of course it's better to bitch and whine about a movie that no one has seen yet and doubt one of the great directors of modern times before he proves you guys wrong again and then you say "that was great...eddie was great in it." I don't call it "a wait and see if you can suprise me" mentality i call it stupidity. If you cannot learn from your reservations on people with a proven track record like QT than I say you have the memory of a goldfish.
Some people in this once great site have a memory of a goldfish. -

can we all stop typing and find someone who actually KNOWS QT
by mr chuff
and tell them to tell HIM to stop fucking about and get the fuck on with it. You dont see Spielberg fucking around for years going "oh I might do this next... or that one.. or maybe not..." Bollocks to it. If he had the threat of all the funds being ripped out from under his lazy ass he'd soon start typing, the banana-chinned cunt.
-
...Lots of you folks diss Murphy for being in shite movies and I'm no exception. However, I'm not quite following the logic of the continued slamming of him when it's being hinted that he might end up in what will possibly be a really good film for the first time since Bowfinger. "Yeah, you're talented and are gonna be in a Tarantino flick, but you were in Pluto Nash, motherfucker!" Murphy's got both comedic and dramatic talent in droves. Kick his ass when he appears in shit, but let's at least be happy when he gets attached to cool projects. Give him the benefit of the doubt. On the other hand I've loathed Sandler in every movie and episode of SNL he's ever been in. That bastard's got a lot more to prove to me than Murphy does.
-
"Banana chinned cunt" - nice.
-
"Hey Boy, you look real cute in those tight Jeans.... Why don't you come over here and fuck me up the ass....Come on boy...Yeah thats right, now pump it harder...You don't start pumping harder boy i'm gonna tense my goddamn Butt Cheeks and rip your goddamn Dick Off!" Eddie you were one funny ass mutherfucker back in the day, in fact you is argueably the second funniest guy on the planet when you are on form (Behind Richard Pryor who is, was and will always be the funniest man on the planet).
-
I got tired of waiting for the DVD so I burned my VHS copy onto a disc. Way back in the mid-80's I just thought it was hilarious, but watching it today adds an extra shocking dimension to it because of how horribly PC everything has become by comparison in just 20 years. To me, Delirious just keeps getting funnier and funnier because of Murphy's shameless ridiculing of EVERYONE. Delirious has the perfect balance of outrageous comedy and real heart. Raw, on the other hand, felt much too mean-spirited at times to reach the heights of Delirious.
-
That's what Murphy meant by people fucking up his jokes by the water cooler the next day.... ;)
-
Trading Places, Coming to America, and BHC 1 and 2, 48 hours....
Just forget everything from the 90s onward. -
"one of the great directors of modern times.."[on Quentin Tarantino] Dude, that was hilarious. Or sad as hell. You choose. You don
-
but most of his films are pretty forgettable, though fortunately with Sin City at least the writer did take time, even if RR doesn't, so the film actually ends up being something worth watching. If QT takes another 5 years that's fine with me, I'd rather he do whatever it is he does than just trying to rush out a film to get it out there.
-
...fantastic in an action flick with elements of comedy to his character (essentially playing a grown up Reggie Hammond), and Sandler can turn in a shockingly good and moving dramatic performance when given the right material (Punch Drunk Love). The one with a lot to prove to me on this project is Quentin. Kill Bill was a piece of shit, particularly because of how long we had to wait for that directionless, empty, all-flash-and-no-substance pile of morning-after-gluttony-meets-greed vomit. He just took every drug-addled thought or image he'd deemed "cool" over the seven years it took to finally make the fucking thing and crammed it all into one (no, wait, TWO) movie(s) populated with unreal, unsympathetic and totally uninteresting characters who did nothing but kill each other (and nowhere near fast enough). What a fucking waste! Quentin, I loved you back when you and Avary were cranking out some of the most resonant, fresh and thought-provoking dialogue in Hollywood. My advice is to make nice with him and start collaborating again. Without him, you're like Garfunkel without Simon.

May 24, 2005 12:20:11 PM CDT
I think the Idea of Sandler playing a interrogator with
by quin the eskimo
a mean streak would be great. I'm sure Tarantino has thought up something much cooler though.
-
Without Simon, Garfunkle would have drowned in that troubled water. I could be wrong but wasn't Avery responsible for that stinker of a movie with Van Der Beek and Jessica Biel. It was so unremarkable I can't even remember the name. I could be wrong.
-
Sometimes I get the feeling Madsen pounds down 12 Guinesses before these interviews and makes up stuff about Inglorious Bastards so he won't have to really talk about anything. And Tarantino lets him because it keeps people interested, even if the info is way off-base. Having said that, if it happens to be true, I'd be curious to see Sandler in it - with PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE and SPANGLISH he's shown he's a real actor. I actually haven't seen any of the "real" Sandler movies like HAPPY GILMORE.
-
Needs the Tarantino treatment.

...I thought that it meant the movie would have some wrestlers in it.

I don't know the guys real name (as Conan is a douchebag). But that dude is funny as shit. He would be so friggen amazing. Why doesn't QT find new gold instead of trying to replate Oldie Von Moldies? Seriously, Travolta is a fat face Frankenstein that I wish he could be deanimated.

Not "casted". as in "He cast Denzel Washington as Abraham Lincoln". not "He casted Denzel Washington as Abraham Lincoln." That's almost as stupid as people who say "I could care less..." When they're supposed to say "I couldn't care less". WHY DOES THIS BOTHER ME SO MUCH???

Especially knowing that this is a Tarantino project. I remember everyone being horrified when it was found out that Michael Keaten would be playing Batman and he did a wonderful job. Everyone was also horrified ( including me ), when Tom Cruise was chosen to play Lestat, and his performance for that role was perfect. And everyone pretty much forgot about John Travolta and thought he would never work again until he did great job playing Vincent in Pulp Fiction. Tarantino has proven again and again that he knows what he is doing when it comes to choosing actors for his movies. I think Eddie Murphy will do just fine.
-
After the best gangster films of all time and the best kung fu/chambara movies of all time (fuck, he even invented Asian action movies, some even think he invented martial arts!), Tarantino will direct the best war movie of all time.
Just kidding, Tarantino the mixer blows!!!!!!!!!! -
Seriously.
Think what Joel or Mike and the 'bots could have done with it.
Comedy Gold, Baby!!! -
Show's how much you know. Modern times as in recent times from the ninties onwards. QT is definatly one of the great directors to come out of hollywood and shape it's future. But hey why don't you make a film better than QT's or any of his contemparies huh?
That's right because you can't and that's why you love to criticise others because it's easier to mask the truth that you know deep inside that you ARE VOID OF TALENT. -
wow, what a blaxploitational flashback! good call -- terry over eddie forever!
