Those Basterds to Take Cannes

Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds won’t open stateside until August, but it will premiere with all the glitz and glamour it can muster next month at the Cannes Film Festival.

The film, which has been described as Pulp Fiction meets The Dirty Dozen meets The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, is set in Nazi-occupied France, after all, so the French premiere is très apropos.

Vanity Fair recently sat down with QT for its May issue, in which the director provides an exclusive scene from his script.

The magazine also features beautiful (and exclusive) cast photos as it declares Inglourious Basterds “Schindler’s List It Ain’t.”
