Quentin spent this past weekend hosting a sideline event to the Venice Film Festival – the ‘Italian kings of the Bs’ festival. This B-Movie showing featured about 20 screenings of spaghetti westerns and erotic comedy’s from the 50′s, 60′s and 70′s.

Also, thanks to MP for sending in a series of photos of QT at the event. Much appreciated.

The Guardian story does end with a strange paragraph about Inglorious Bastards:

Tarantino is also reported to have bought the rights to reproduce a B-movie by another of his heroes, Enzo Castellari, with Samuel Jackson and George Clooney tipped to star in the remake of his 1977 Second World War comedy, Inglorious Bastards.

As far as I know, thats not correct. I haven’t heard Clooney’s name mentioned in a long time (though it wouldn’t suprise me), have never heard Jackson’s name associated w/ this movie, and it is most definately not a remake.
