Quentin Tarantino’s newest movie, the World War II “men on a mission” film Inglourious Basterds, screened at the Cannes Film Festival for the first time last week to mixed reviews — some folks loved it, others said it was long and talky. (A Quentin Tarantino film, talky? No!)
Universal, which split the costs of the film with the Weinstein Company, is apparently asking Tarantino to do another edit of the film before it’s released in theaters this August.
Conventional wisdom says we’ll be getting a shorter version than the two hours and twenty-seven minute cut that just premiered. But according to Variety, Tarantino himself said he might add a scene, since his contract guarantees that he can deliver a film up to twenty minutes longer.
So, more of Brad Pitt talking in a ridiculously cartoonish accent: good or bad?
