Angelina Jolie: No In Vitro Fertilization!

We’ve Got Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Inglorious ********’ Script

…and it is exactly as batshit over-the-top insane as we hoped.

The copy we acquired includes a handwritten cover page which we think might actually be in Tarantino’s handwriting, reading, “INGLOURIOUS ********.” This misspelling of “********” continues through the screenplay, suggesting we were right when we guessed Tarantino was writing really, really fast. He doesn’t even have time to spell-check if he’s gonna get this movie turned around by Cannes!

The script is 165 pages long and follows a squad of American soldiers called the ******** — a guerrillalike force who travel behind German lines in 1944, striking terror into the hearts of Nazi soldiers. The ******** are headed by Lieutenant Aldo Raine — the role we’d imagine Tarantino is hoping to land Brad Pitt for — described by the script as a “hillbilly from the mountains of Tennessee,” who has around his neck a scar from where he survived a lynching. (”The scar will never once be mentioned,” Tarantino writes.) In a parallel story, Inglorious ******** follows a French Jewish teenager named Shosanna who survives the massacre of her family and flees to Paris, where she winds up running a movie house during the Nazi occupation.

The ********’ and Shosanna’s stories intersect when a gala premiere of a Goebbels-produced propaganda film is put on in Shosanna’s theater, with Hitler and most of the German High Command scheduled to attend. Both the ******** and Shosanna launch plots intending to end the war a little earlier than anyone expected.

The script’s divided into five chapters:

Chapter One: Once Upon a Time … Nazi Occupied France

Chapter Two: Inglorious ********

Chapter Three: German Night in Paris

Chapter Four: Operation Kino

Chapter Five: Revenge of the Giant Face

The first chapter, set in 1941, introduces Shosanna and the film’s antagonist, a Nazi officer named Landa who’s known as the “Jew Hunter.” The second chapter introduces the ******** and their tactics: They kill Nazis on sight, take their scalps, and — when they let one go — carve a swastika into his forehead. The third chapter, set in 1944, reintroduces Shosanna in Paris (”This whole Chapter will be filmed in French New Wave Black and White”). The fourth sets up the ********’ attack on the theater. And it all comes together in Chapter Five, which plays fast and loose with history, to say the least.

The script is definitely the ur-text of Quentin Tarantino’s career up to now; it combines his love of old movies (war movies, Westerns, and even prewar German cinema), his attraction to powerful female protagonists, his love of chatter, and his willingness to embrace the extreme — visually and in his storytelling. (The flashbacks have particularly Tarantinoian flourishes: a thought bubble pops out of a character’s head to introduce one, while another is shot spaghetti Western style.) All in all, it reads like Kill Bill meets The Dirty Dozen meets Cinema Paradiso.

We wondered at times if this script was a fake, and it’s still possible that it is — but if so, it’s such a skillful fake that the author has even mastered Tarantino’s ability to write moments that seem almost like parodies of his own tastes. Such as, for example, our favorite moment in the screenplay, with a mix of fetishism and inspired comedy that feels authentically alive. Late in chapter four, the Nazis are preparing Shosanna’s movie theater for its big premiere, and Goebbels tells her that he appreciates “the modesty of this auditorium.” Then he suggests sprucing the place up a bit, with a chandelier from Versailles and a couple of Greek nudes from the Louvre scattered around the lobby. A quick montage shows this happening, and then Tarantino describes the result:

We see Workers trying with incredible difficulty, to hoist the huge, heavy, and twinkingly fragile chandelier, in Shosannas auditorium, which now resembles something out of one of Tinto Brass’s Italian B-movie rip-off’s of Visconti’s “The Damned”.

If anyone is crazy enough to fund it, this movie is gonna be awesome.

jill, thank you, my mom has been much better the last couple of days. i hope you had a nice visit with your son and his wife. =

Better off for you? Quentin Tarantino came to BP. BP and AJ make the decisions in their lives and not random people on the Blog. Obviously, they have worked out the terms, salary and schedule that benefit their family. I certainly don’t think that BP and AJ film work is over-exposure given the quality films they have put out recently. I look forward to their work.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I was thinking that it would be better for their kids, but then I remembered their people mag photoshoot. Like , Duh! Of course that’s proof that Brad pitt doesn’t want to protect his children from the public eye.

I have been a fan of Jolie for quite some time now and I remember when she wanted to give up acting and live in England to protect Maddox from the paparazzi. She was planning on using her pilot skills to help out where she could. what a joke that turned out to be now that she’s with Pitt.

I have lost all interest in Angelina Jolie. I will be back when she’s a single mother of 6 and that fun loving free spirit like she used to be.

:lol:

Like duh

What’s it like working for Huvane? A pretty sorry state of affairs, eh?

in my country that i was born they would say when an infant 1month old would smile it was possible an angel invision. i really think the infant is content and warm and make the expression of a smile which means good work B/A

Man, if I had a dollar for every troll that is no longer a fan and is leaving this blog, I would be rich. However, we all know they are not leaving, just changing names.

Good evening to all the fans. :) I went to Barnes & Noble again tonight to look for Hello and all they had was the old issue. People was newly stocked when I bought it on Monday and today it was sold out, including the ones by the cash registers. No one can tell me nobody cares about Brad and Angelina anymore. The twins issue is supposed to be displayed for two weeks and it sold out in less than three days. I noticed on the picture of Brad and the boys holding the twins, that Pax has nail polish on his pinky too. He and Maddox are two cool little guys.

ONMYOWN/1254 ………..enjoyed your posts and ITAWU as to the inability of some the JP fans to resist the constant baiting and provocation from these stupid trolls. I’ve been here since 2005, and did my bit of ‘defending’ B&A, however, one cannot help but come to the logical conclusion that these bloody trolls are not operating with a full deck, and any sort of dialogue simply lends some validity to their idiotic comments.

BTW, your journey through France brings back a lot of memories of when my family lived in England for a while and we’d travel on the continent during holidays.

Larry King has Steven Curtis Chapman and part of his family on. This is the family whose 5 year old daughter died from a car accident. The Chapmans have 3 bio children and 3 adopted children (all from China). They seem like a nice family. I mention this because there are often articles written about B&A as if they are weird to have six kids. I think there are more families out there like B&A than we are know it is just that the media prefers to at as if it is not.

This should be an interesting role for Papa Pitt. Did I hear screaming at the Ocean?

Brad Pitt is officially a ‘*******@’
Actor set to star in Tarantino’s WWII drama
By MICHAEL FLEMING, TATIANA SIEGEL
Pitt
Brad Pitt has closed his deal to star in “Inglorious ********@@,” the WWII drama that Quentin Tarantino will direct for the Weinstein Co. and Universal.

+++++++++++++++++++

Cool. This will definitely be an interesting project for Brad. One things for sure - The Fighter definitely isn’t being made right now. I know someone had posted an article a few weeks back that Aronofsky took on another project - Robocop! - but now the tabs will have to stop writing that Brad is doing BOTH movies this fall. He can’t be in Canada and Germany at the same time.

It’ll be interesting to see who else gets cast in the movie - especially in the role that rumors had Leo doing - bad Nazi bad guy. I think it would be a hoot to have either Ralph Fiennes - who was the pschyo Nazi in Schindler’s List - or Liam Neeson, who was the good guy in Schindler’s List, but a kick ass villain in Batman Begins, do the role.
