Inglourious Basterds will NOT be cut


A few weeks ago, we told you Harvey Weinstein asked mister Quentin Tarantino to cut some 40 minutes from his new movie, Inglourious Basterds. Seems mister Weinstein is backtracking now. Check out these unbelievable quotes from GQ magazine:
No fucking way! I was telling Quentin the opposite—'You should put that shit back in the movie.' There’s scenes with Brad Pitt and the Basterds, and I’m praying he puts that shit back in, ‘cause it’s un-fucking-believably great. Listen—this movie will be between two hours and twenty minutes and two hours and twenty-seven minutes. I don’t think it’s going to be shorter—it’s just a question of rearranging.
Wow, I don't know who to believe... but I will tell you this, Weinstein is the boss, period! So had he told Tarantino to cut the movie, Tarantino cuts the movie, no questions. So we'll see how this plays out, but for all you Tarantino lovers, you get a 2 and a half hour movie coming soon.
