\nControversial director Quentin Tarantino’s take on World War II will hit movie theatres on August 21 2009<\/strong> Tarantino often takes a long time between projects. His last movie was a 2007 combined feature called “Grindhouse” made with director Robert Rodriguez, but he has not single-handedly directed a film since the 2004 “Kill Bill: Vol. 2.” Pitt plays a U.S. army lieutenant leading a group of soldiers operating behind Nazi lines, terrorizing the enemy.<\/p>\n “Inglourious Basterds” reportedly borrows from Spaghetti Westerns, the mostly Italian-made films of the 1960s and ’70s that combine brutal violence and lyrical, fairytale-like qualities in a different take on Hollywood cowboy movies.<\/p>\n The film was inspired by the 1978 World War II movie “Quel maledetto treno blindato,” also called “The Inglorious Bastards,” from Italian director Enzo Castellari.<\/p>\n The August 21 release date of “Inglourious Basterds” is for the U.S. and Canada, and dates remain undetermined for its international release, said The Weinstein Company and Universal Pictures, which are jointly presenting the film.<\/p>\n Tarantino, who won an Oscar for his 1994 “Pulp Fiction” movie script, made the martial arts epics “Kill Bill: Vol. 1” (2003) and “Kill Bill: Vol. 2” (2004). The first film made $181 million (123 million pounds) worldwide and the sequel grossed $152 million, according to tracking firm Box Office Mojo.<\/p>\n Critics say Tarantino’s films trivialize and stylize violence, but the director has a devoted fan base and has received numerous awards, including the Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival for “Pulp Fiction.”<\/p>\n (Reporting by Alex Dobuzinskis: Editing by Jill Serjeant)\n<\/p>\n Tarantino World War II film to open in N.

\nThe studios behind the highly-anticipated film called “Inglourious Basterds” said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\n
\nThe director’s oddly spelled World War II epic “Inglourious Basterds<\/a>” stars actor Brad Pitt, and production began in Europe in October.<\/p>\n
\nWe’ll see what this flick brings. As a Tarantino fan I’m quite “psyched” about it so now it is just a matter of time to see what he made of it… Hopefully something that surprises us… Which is going to be hard considering the brilliant movies he directed\/starred in that are already on my “best of” list.
