While Quentin Tarantino is notorious for discussing plans and then executing those plans excruciatingly slowly (if ever), he was apparently serious when he mentioned the possibility of more missions for some or all of his INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS.

But not next. As he tells Vulture, he's already got 40 pages of a BASTERDS prequel written. And though they say he's "not giving up on the idea or the script, especially if the original film does well at the awards shows," he's got another secret project to tackle first, something only described as "smaller, less epic" and in a "different genre entirely."

This would jibe with what he said a few months ago - that he was "wide open" to his next project but was considering a "re-imagining" of another genre, like a Western or a "Pretty Boy Floyd" type gangster movie. And then there's the proposed third KILL BILL volume, although that would surely not be a "smaller" movie.

Wonder when we'll actually get... anything?

Extra Tidbit: The German who got his noggin cracked open by "The Bear Jew" in BASTERDS played a badass elite cop in the French actioner THE NEST (aka NID DE GUEPES), one of my fave flicks from the past decade.

Him re-releasing Goliathon under the title Mighty Peking Man doesn't count.

I don't believe a word out of QT until It goes into production. I've been let down a few times. He's not very trustworthy between movies in my book. Despite that. I'll still go see whatever his next film is. Like whatever it is. Surprise me.

I'll say it again, Quentin should throw us for a loop and make a 70s style sports movie. Blood, mullets, cursing, sex 'Slap Shot, Longest Yard, Last American Hero' style.

I think he has had this set up from the start, considering the limited screen time of the Basterds, which i liked, because it left me wanting more.

THE NEST
It's basically a foreign remake of ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13, except done much better than the US remake. Highly recommended.

The director (Florent Siri) went on to make HOSTAGE with Bruce Willis.

Dude
If Tarantino wants to make another movie with the characters and story he wrote, who the hell are we to say no?

Trust in Tarantino with Tarantino-made worlds.

Nein nein nein nein. I want to see him do different things. No prequels or sequels to any of his movies.

I loved "Inglourious Basterds" and I love QT and anything he does, but I don't want to see him make a prequel. It is just one of those movies that does not require a prequel because the original or first was so good, that it would be like a "smack in the face" to the original.

I love pretty much anything Tarantino touches, and Inglourious is without question in my top 5 of the year. However, I can't help but be skeptical of a prequel. Basterds seemed so self-contained, and I just can't think of anything he could have written since that just demanded being added to the story.
