Wow, Quentin Tarantino has finally surfaced with his long-gestating World War II project Inglorious Bastards and is currently shopping it to other studios.
This is according to my second-favorite film blog Deadline Hollywood by the fantastic Nikki Finke. (My favorite film blog? Why, that would be the must-read Hollywood Elsewhere by love-him-or-hate-him curmudgeon Jeffrey Wells.)
The really interesting thing, however, is the svengali-like presence of Harvey Weinstein, who has his grubby little hands all over this deal.
According to Finke, Weinstein is making it so that he personally will profit from the movie's grosses, not the investors who have ponied up to bankroll his flailing The Weinstein Company.
A lot has changed in the "independent" film world since the demise of Miramax as we knew it, but old Harv just keeps on keepin' on.
I sincerely hope I never have to cross paths with him one day. Look at what happened to the boys in Entourage...
