Chapter 11: Doing The Cannes Can And Beyond…
QT’s plan to get Basterds finished for Cannes has come through – and with character posters (like the one of Pitt above and Roth below) cropping up, the real work is at last finished.
It’s been a slog for the director, apparently: “It’s become very hard to concentrate on anything but the film I’m making,” he told the New York Times mag. “This was the hardest movie I’ve ever made.”
Why so hard? “I wanted to have a masterpiece before the decade’s out.”
Sounds like so much promo puff, but we can believe it from the man who made Pulp Fiction.
So what now? Considering that the film doesn’t hit these shores until August, a whole lot of patience.
