Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this week and Variety's Thompson on Hollywood says that the filmmaker may make further changes to the movie:

Brad and Angelina seemed happy, as did an ebullient Quentin Tarantino, although TWC's 50/50 partner on the picture, Universal, UPDATE: is talking to the filmmaker about returning to the editing room post-Cannes to make some trims edits that might include adding a scene, says Tarantino, who reminds that the film, at two hours 27 minutes, is well under his contractual final cut length of two hours 48 minutes.

The Brad Pitt-starrer hits theaters on August 21, 2009.

Time to add some more in.

2 hours 48minutes? lol

That would be pretty damn long. Really looking forward to this movie though, should be great.

This would probably be the first time ever I'll be going to a cinema to see a movie that long. Hopefully the changes make it more universally accepted, I've been reading a lot of mixed reviews about it.

Watchmen was 2 hours 40 and I thought it was slightly too long despite being a very good movie. I expect this to be great though so it should be fine. Didn't he say the basement scene was his proudest moment as a director?

Can't wait.

Marketh. · 05-25-2009, 07:21 AM

Yeah, he did say that. But I believe he also thought Death Proof was one of his best films...

Nonetheless, I think he said that scene is about a half hour long which is very interesting. Thinking about it, how often do you come across a scene that long? I can only recall the ending to Glengarry Glen Ross.

A half hour long scene should be great imo, and no I can't really think of any others.

I heard people were complaining that there was too much talking and not enough action in it at Cannes so he'll go back to editing to add more action in I presume?

Overall, from what I've heard, it sounds like a decent film, but nothing special by Tarantino's standards.

lol from the trailer you'd think it was the opposite.

Hopefully that means the film contains a lot of great dialogue like many of his others.

I would expect Brad Pitt to have some great dialogue. He already seemed cool in the trailer when he said "...and I WANT my scalps!".

Samuel L. Jackson is the narrator for this, so I expect plenty of n-words and hilarity.

I heard it's one of Brad's worst performances of his careers unfortunately. Also I really wasn't digging his accent in the trailer. Seems like that could be something that'll irritate me through-out the film.
