Where on earth do you go after relaying the epic story of Shosanna Dreyfus and the Inglourious Basterds? According to Quentin Tarantino, you dial things back a bit. The verbose director recently talked with New York Magazine](Exclusive: Quentin Tarantino on the Basterds Prequel, Another Forthcoming Film, and Israeli Versus German Audiences - Vulture) about the reception of Inglourious Basterds](Inglourious Basterds (2009) - Movie | Moviefone), and (yay!) where he’s planning to go from here.
While he has 40 pages written for a prequel to Inglourious Basterds, Tarantino isn’t looking to stay on that track right now. A big tease, he won’t say what the next film is about, but he *did *reveal that it will be a “smaller, less epic” film in a “different genre entirely.” The magazine writes: “He says he thinks he can finish it in a five- to six-month period of intensive writing.” Smaller? Less epic? Does that mean we might get back to something more like Reservoir Dogs? While I loved Basterds, I have been yearning for a small scale film where it all rests on concise and irresistibly quotable dialogue. On another note – it’s been over 10 years since the filmmaker dialed things back … so who knows what that will mean for a Tarantino film in the year 2010?
But there’s still something to discuss with his latest, namely – what did the moviegoers in Germany and Israel think? Check it out after the jump, since it does include some spoilers.
