Quentin Tarantino's mountainous movie
Tuesday, 28 July 2009
Inglourious Basterds' is Quentin Tarantino's "Mount Everest" movie.
The cult movie director has admitted the bloodied action movie was hard work and has taken over from 'Kill Bill' as the most challenging of his career.
He explained: "This is the toughest film I've ever made. It's my Mount Everest movie. 'Kill Bill' was hard, but this was harder."
The 46-year-old director began drafting the script over a decade ago and altered it several times over the years before completion last summer.
Quentin says he drew inspired for the storyline from a "f**king cool" movie from the 70s.
He explained to Loaded magazine: "I got it from a 1978 spaghetti western called 'Inglourious B*****ds'. It was about a bunch of guys fighting in Germany and were condemned to be court-martialled, when their prison convoy gets attacked by Nazis. They escape, so they have to find a way out. They try and get to Switzerland - a neutral country - but they have to battle their way through Germany first. It's just a really f**king cool story. It was so cool that I wanted to come up with an equally cool film."
