The 2009 Cannes Film Festival (le Festival de Cannes, for you natives) is well underway, premiering what’s sure to be some of the biggest blockbusters of the next year. So to get in on the celebrity-packed action, we’ve put together our own little independent shindig we’d like to call the Festival de Cans (get it?), featuring tons of sexy French models and actresses for your viewing pleasure. So please turn off all cell phones and pagers, sit back and enjoy the show.  (more…)

 
According to Joblo.com, Quentin Tarantino announced at this year’s Canne Film Festival that his next film will be Inglorious Bastards, due to premier at Cannes in 2009. The film, which has been rumored about for over five years, is a war movie, inspired by 1977 Italian film Quel maledetto treno blindato, by director Enzo G. Castellari.

“The next movie I’m doing is my World War II movie,” Tarantino told a French TV host during a television show. “I just finished up the first draft, and if all goes well, I’ll be here, in Canne, in 2009 with Inglorious Bastards.”

Instead of a remake of the Castellari film, Inglorious Bastards will pay homage to a long list of Tarantino film favorites, including The Dirty Dozen and The Great Escape. Here’s to hoping this one comes out better than Grindhouse.

Yeah, yeah, we know – it’s 2008. So why talk about the movies of 2009 so soon?

With the advent of viral marketing and extremely early teaser trailers being leaked eons before a movie is scheduled for release, you can never be too early to start talking about films. Hell, you’re lucky this list isn’t about the most anticipated movies of 2010, which could’ve been done just as easy – and it still would’ve been way behind the internet’s buzz schedule.

Some of these movies will be sure fire hits, while others are doomed to flop. Either way, we offer you the chance to share your opinion in the comment section.

Vote at the bottom for what you feel will be the best of 2009. (more…)

Upon the arrival of Death Proof on DVD Director Quentin Tarantino was interviewed by the London Telegraph; he spilled the beans on his next project(s).

The decade-long-delayed World War II project (tentatively titled Inglorious Bastards; tentatively starring Michael Madsen) will most likely see the light of day first, but QT has another genre revival waiting in the wings: a European soft-core flick.

As expected with Tarantino, the film is reported to consist of Swedish babes, booze, Americans on vacation and “hooking up.” Sounds like the National Lampoon franchise has some competition on their hands.

Tarantino also mussed over a few rumors, like helming an update of the maverick android movie Westworld (maybe) or a re-up of the cult-classic Green Lantern (not likely).

One this is for sure when it comes to Tarantino’s skin-flick: expect foot-fetish scenes up the wazoo.
