mariah in another movie doesn't bother me...but what the $#*% is QT doing directing a remake of 'casino royale'??

This is totally, 100% false. Complete bullshit, through and through.

Quinten's next project is another martial arts film, done entirely in Mandarin (two versions will be released, one with cheesy English over-dubbing). After that, he plans to do his WWII epic Inglorious Bastards.

The whole Casino Royale thing came about from a comment he made a few years back about what he would do if he could direct a James Bond film. Mariah was never a part of that idea, however. Leave it to The Daily Mirror to break out the shovels and give us a heaping helping of pure BS.

Yeah...why Q?Why?This HK cinema kick he's on is annoying.He needs to go back to doing what he does best--character driven pieces with kick ass dialogue/monologues.

KillBill was a good--but WAAAAYY overrated.

I feel the opposite. If anyone can elicit a good performance out of Mariah it's QT. He can do whatever the hell movie he wants, it will be brilliant.

so good it was straight-to-video, wasn't it?

GrayKing said:

Well, it was an independent TV movie,,,so yeah.

Its really fucked up how Glitter went to the theaters,,,and this one got the boot tho

Zencowboy said:

Re-read carefully what JediMaster posted...it's inaccurate news. It appears QT is NOT directing this remake.

Singer Mariah Carey is planning to star in another movie - despite the critical mauling her autobiographical film Glitter received.

The Honey star, whose '80s-themed movie was panned by critics and avoided by fans, will play a scantily clad beauty in the remake of James Bond spoof Casino Royale, according to British newspaper the Daily Mirror.

An insider says, "Mariah is going to play the part immortalised by Ursula Andress. It's a comedy so Mariah's going to be making fun of herself."

Pierce Brosnan is currently in talks to play 007 in Quentin Tarantino's remake of Casino Royale.

Carey has also agreed to team up with fellow singers Patti LaBelle, Missy Elliott, Alicia Keys and Macy Gray for independent film Ladies' Night.

I wouldn't call one martial arts film a martial arts kick. And that movie was extremely character-driven.

Not one,but 2-- if he goes thru with this mandarin martial arts flick.
Kill Bill was character driven,but lacked the graet dialogue of Reservoir Dogs,Pulp Fiction and True Romance


It's important to remember the first and the second were intended to be one film. But because Miramax insisted he split it up, he juxtaposed the homages in the first film with the substance in the second film. The first movie needed the second, and vice versa. They are one distinct piece.

I've been saying that since day one.

As for the next martial arts film this guy mentioned, is it possible you were talking about "Hero", which he presented to American audiences but didn't actually make? I think that might be what you heard.

As I stated above my reference was to this new flick--if he goes through with it,it'll be 2 martail arts movies

Inglorious Bastards though, I know has been in the works for several years, because he devotes so much time to his screenplays.

Looking forward to Inglorious Bastards,if he ever gets around to doing it.I'm hoping it'll be a return to form.

Rather than a long-rumoured World War 2 epic, the auteur is set to film a kung-fu movie shot entirely in Mandarin, with a second version shot simultaneously with a kitsch out-of-sync English dubbed soundtrack.

Movie magazines and Internet sites across the world have reported that the award-winning Writer and Director’s next project would be “Inglorious Bastards,” but in an interview with Total Film, Tarantino revealed he would in fact be working on an entirely different and completely leftfield movie.

The news was revealed when unsuspecting Total Film journalist Mark Dinning visited Tarantino’s home to deliver two awards from the magazine’s 2004 Readers Awards for Tarantino’s Kill Bill series – Man Of The Year and Action Scene Of The Year:

“Inglorious Bastards, Not yet, Man. My next movie is gonna be another kung fu that’s gonna blow your asses off. Everyone still thinks I’m doing Bastard’s next, but before I do that I want to do something much smaller.”

Tarantino continued: “The next movie will be in Mandarin! I enjoyed shooting all the Japanese stuff in Kill Bill, so much so that this whole film will be entirely in Mandarin. If you’re not up to watching it with subtitles I really want to do a full-on dubbed version. Maybe shooting two Kill Bill movies has spoiled me but f&*k it – sue me!”

Whilst no release date or plot details have been revealed for this as yet unnamed project, Total Film magazine’s Mark Dinning believes the film is set to be a true labour of love for the Director:

“I’m not surprised by this move to make a movie in a foreign language – the man is a walking encyclopaedia of weird and wonderful movies and he loves kung fu. He’s not copying Mel Gibson, he just wants to make a genuine martial arts film with all the ideas he has spilling over from shooting Kill Bill.

“The more we think about this announcement – his new kung-fu project has Tarantino written all over it - a mix of the barmy and the brilliant that film fans will be excited about seeing. The number of UK film fans who voted for Kill Bill in our awards shows that people love his work and will look forward to this next movie. ”

Just thinking about the 40 minute scene between David Carradine and Uma Thurman in Kill Bill 2, which, personally, I consider to be the best dialogue in a movie this milennium.

Superman's disguise is the weak, unsure, shy, Clark Kent. Absolutely brilliant to me.

I don't think I could say Kill Bill was better than Pulp Fiction, but I wouldn't be able to say it was worse either. And I'm not saying the two movies are tied. Just, I found them to both be stunningly good movies that will only get better with age and repeat viewings. He is truly a sensational and once in a generation movie maker. If he is making this second martial arts film, more power to him. I know it will be good.
