Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt gave an eagerly awaited press conference yesterday in the Kursaal, accompanied by the producer of Inglorious Basterds, the film that opened the Zabaltegi section this year.
Tarantino took ten years to write the script for Inglorious Basterds, which was interrupted by other projects. While he was writing the script he thought of Brad Pitt for the starring role but thought that the most in-demand star in the world probably wouldn’t beavailable as he wanted to shoot straight away, so he was delighted when Pitt agreed to work with him.
Pitt was also full of praise for Tarantino. He thought his script was so precise that he didn’t want to change a word of it and he stressed his extraordinary energy and how great it was working with him. “His set is like a church and he’s God”
The cast of the film was like a Tower of Babel, and the story is told in English, French and German. Pitt felt that this perfectly reflected the multilingual world we live in.
Tarantino has described his film as “a spaghetti western with the iconography of the Second World War”, as music plays a very important role in the director’s creative process. He often borrows songs from other films that end up giving a different meaning to the images.
When asked whether he was still the same guy as the one who worked in a video store before he became famous, Tarantino replied that he was, but he was much more fulfilled.
