Quentin Tarantino may know a thing or two about making movies but it seems like the poor fella’s lacking in spelling skills if the official title of his long-gestating World War II project is anything to go by. Inglourious Basterds (not Inglorious Bastards as we were previously led to believe) may have started principal photography but nobody seems to have pointed out the typo. Much like the early screenplay that leaked onto the internet a few months back, it seems the galling moniker is an attempt to distance itself from the 1978 Enzo Castellari film which inspired QT. To coincide with the start of shooting, The Weinstein Company has issued a press release. New additions to the cast list include Omar Doom and Michael Bacall (from Death Proof) and Julie Dreyfus (Sophie Fatale from Kill Bill). To read the full press release, click here.

RE: It's about Motha Ficking time
L: Taz69 And how cool is any movie with someone called Omar Doom in it - sounds like a pornstar supervillain. ounds like a cross between Omar from ervel's Doctor Doom... and as it's Tarantino, I wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly where he got the name from. ... Read More KeithM About me

Lets just see....
The films actual title is "Inglorious Bastards"... but the group of Jewish American Soldiers the film is based on were called 'The Basterds' due to the way they scalped and brutally killed Nazis. And with a cast list of: Brad Pitt, Mike myers, Eli Roth and Diane Kruger lets not just dismiss the idea that it might be worth a watch. ... Read More magilly About me

GOING TO SUCK !
Who cares. After the piece of shit, that passed as a moooovie, that was Deathproof, its clear that QT has lost it. He has become a caricature of himself. Every time I see his smug face now I just want to take a samurai sword to it and chop it clean of. Then make him eat it. He'll go the same way as that other charlatan, Shyamalan. ... Read More THERAHMAN About me
