A while back we took a look at the authentic script for Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film, “Inglorious Bastards,” about a crew of revenge-seeking, Jewish American soldiers on a mission to kick some serious Nazi ass during World War II. The film has reportedly begun filming in Germany and more details on the cast besides Brad Pitt have been released. The director will be pulling actors from some of his previous films with the supporting cast including Julie Dreyfus (Kill Bill), Eli Roth (Grindhouse), plus Omar Doom and Michael Bacall (Deathproof). Although there’s been a rumor of a possible name change back to the original misspelled version “Inglourious Basterds,” (IMDB has it as “Basterds“) here’s the teaser poster spelled correctly, complete with a big ol’ bullet hole right where the swastika usually sits on the iconic and thoroughly evil, Reichsadler emblem.
Nearly two weeks ago, ANIMAL posted what appeared to be the screenplay for Quentin Tarantino’s much talked about “Inglorious Bastards” (this site now hosting the PDF doc). A sprawling, surreal, super-violent piece of World War II porn, the story focuses on a band of blood-thirsty Jewish-American soldiers who are totally into “Killin Nazi’s.” Was the script real or fake? Judging by the hand-scrawled cover and rampant spelling mistakes—from “Inglourious Basterds” to an American city the auteur refers to as “Bostin”—it seems nobody but Tarantino would send out such a hot mess of a 165-page script chock full of lines like “Hey, stick your treason up your poop hole” and “Fuck you and your jew dogs” and expect to sell it. Now, with a possible deal with Universal on the table, Weinstein Co. has delivered a cease and desist to ANIMAL, ordering the script be removed—and in doing so confirmed the script is, in fact, a real Tarantino. In the words of Weinstein’s lawyer, Peter Hurwitz: “Pursuant to the provisions of the DMCA, I am writing to you to request you immediately disable access to the script for our film ‘Inglorious Bastards,’ which has not been authorized to be used on your or any other website at this time.” The official script-removing legalese after the jump.
“Fuck you and your jew dogs.” With dialogue like that, it must be “Inglorious Bastards,” aka “Inglorious Basterds,” the not-yet-shot Quentin Tarantino penned and to-be-directed script that makes its online debut here at ANIMAL (PDF doc)[UPDATE]. I just got through reading all 165-pages of this World War II-themed wackadoodle tale, and it’s a doozy. Rumors abound it could be a fake, but it sounds like authentic Tarantino to me. One thing’s for sure: Quentin, your spelling is fucking atrocious.
A mix of bloody mayhem-filled scenes and politically incorrect dialogue that takes down whites, blacks, and Jews alike, the ensemble-ish tale sort of follows the highfalutin mission of a group of murderous Jewish-American soldiers who like bashin’ in heads with bats, carving Swastikas in foreheads, and “Killin Nazi’s.”
