From worstpreviews, Quentin Tarantino spoke to British magazine Sight and Sound, giving an update on the status of his war movie "Inglorious Bastards." [via Cinematical]
"I've got tons of material and a lot of stuff written but now I've figured out what to do, I gotta start from page one, square one," Tarantino says, seemingly putting to rest any notion that this thing will be going before the cameras in the next year or so. "I started just before I came on this trip and brought the stuff with me but I haven't had a chance to continue yet. But maybe on the flight back home I'll come back into it. I love writing in other countries."
In addition, Tarantino spoke about "Grindhouse," stating that he originally wanted his part of the double feature to be a Candyman-style horror film about the ghost of a slave that terrifies a group of white girls. "The first idea was a bunch of young college history students that were going through a tour of the plantations of the old South. And there's a ghost of an old slave that is part of negro folklore. Jody the Grinder actually went down and bested the devil, by f**king him. And so the devil put him on earth for all eternity to f**k white women."
He explained why this idea wasn't realized. "I would probably have had Sam Jackson playing that part and it was really good, but then I didn't have anywhere to go with it, because if you have a story about a killer slave with supermacho powers done in the style of a slasher film, then even if he's doing it today, and even if the white girls are innocent, how can you not be on the slave's side?"

I kind of hope that slave movie gets made.
That's why I love her!
That sounds so balls-out offensive that maybe we should all breathe easier that it didn't get made... but I wish it had been a fake preview! That would've been cool.
He's always shooting his mouth off about what he's "about to do."
