Yahoo says we have a North American release date for Inglorious Basterds. August 21.
Until now, this site has been properly spelling Bastards, but it seems that Tarantino is deliberately spelling it wrong. Yahoo has some insight as to why:
The film was inspired by the 1978 World War II movie “Quel maledetto treno blindato,” also called “The Inglorious Bastards,” from Italian director Enzo Castellari.
The August 21 release date of “Inglourious Basterds” is for the U.S. and Canada, and dates remain undetermined for its international release, said The Weinstein Company and Universal Pictures, which are jointly presenting the film.
Ive been luke warm on Tarantino for a while, but with some good buzz and casting I am at least keeping this on my radar.
I don’t automatically think this is going to be a hit just because it has Tarantino behind the wheel. He breaks the rules and takes some risks, which I admire him for, but they don’t always hit the mark.
