Looks like a comedic take on Valkyrie (even though I know that's not intended). Even the poster looks similar. I like Pitt in weird roles, but I think this'll bomb.

That's the one thing that really kills me. So soon after Valkyrie, you'd think that they'd have a better idea than merely "Hey, let's try to blow up Hitler...again"sandiegojones said:Looks like a comedic take on Valkyrie (even though I know that's not intended).
Nah. It's Tarantino, plus Pitt. It will be a box-office success, I think, for at least the first weekend. Whether or not it is actually worth watching is another thing entirely, though.sandiegojones said:...but I think this'll bomb.
Usually Tarantino films are impossible to market. I love em all, thoughGrizzlor said:What's so funny is every time a new Tarantino movie comes out, I see the trailer and think, this movie looks totally idiotic and stupid. So I don't bother seeing it, but then I catch it on cable or something, and love it. I'll never learn.

Joe Brody said:You might want to check the development-hell-turned-release Hell that was Valkyrie. That flic was on the shelves for awhile.
. . . .but not as long as Inglorious Basterds. Tarantino has been developing this bad boy for a long, long time.

Deadlock said:From the interview I read in Creative Screenwriting, the idea was rattling around in Tarantino's head for years and years, but strictly speaking it wasn't in "development hell" as he just banged out the screenplay last year.
Joe Brody said:I can't remeber where I read it but I'll take the Pepsi Challenge that there were prior discarded drafts of the script.
"It's not this thing that I've been working on forever," insists writer-director Quentin Tarantino about his own Inglourious Basterds. "Pretty much the only thing that's left in the script from what I started back in '98 are the first two chapters... I never finished it. Literally, the story and everything else, I did in 2008."
muttjones said:According to The Hollywood Reporter, "two story lines converge: One follows a group of Jewish-American soldiers whose mission is to take down as many Nazis as they can get, and the other follows a young Jewish woman who seeks to avenge the death of her family at the hands of the sinister SS colonel known as 'The Jew Hunter'".
does this second storyline still because i didnt see any part of it in the trailer.
Le Saboteur said:In that release they were supposed to be Israelis hunting down Nazis in post-WWII South America.
Deadlock said:Yes, it was in his head a long time, all I'm saying is that it wasn't in "development hell" per se.
Joe Brody said:[jokingly]Spare me your per se. All I'm saying is that when you write/produce/direct and act in your own movies, kicking various versions of your own scripts around for years is development Hell. Plus I never said it was in H*ll.
Deadlock said:Come now... I haven't made a nuisance of myself in a long time.
Le Saboteur said:Trailer #4 is up at Apple's Movie Trailer site.
Why am I now thinking that this is going to be a cross between The Dirty Dozen & Ocean's 11? Dramatic tension: out the window!
