The making of 'Inglourious Basterds'

Tarantino and the cast talk rewriting history

By Drew Tewksbury, Special to Metromix

Quentin Tarantino has never been one for subtlety. His over the top, explosive films have stirred up audiences and pushed the envelope for nearly two decades. With “Inglourious Basterds,” opening Aug. 21, Tarantino continues his legacy of genre smashing in an epic about Nazi-scalp-hunting, Jewish soldiers in World War II.

We caught up with Tarantino, and some of movie’s stars, Eli Roth, B.J. Novak, Diane Kruger and Christoph Waltz, to chat about propaganda, German movie stars, and the best ways to scalp.

Brad Pitt was probably busy babysitting.
