Film Focus has an interview with Michael Madsen in which he talks about Sin City and the upcoming Inglorious Bastards.

Yeah, we were talking about Inglorious Bastards a couple of hours a go,” Madsen told FilmFocus, “he’s got an interesting idea of how to make it. I think he’s going to cut it up into a couple of different parts, ‘cos it’s a big story to tell and he doesn’t want to cram it all into one show. I don’t know the whole story of how he’s going to do it but eventually we’ll get there, you know.”

Madsen also told us the project was one very close to him, “I’m looking forward to doing it,” he said, “my father’s brother was killed in World War 2, my dad was in the Navy and my cousin Kenny was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. I’ve always wanted to play a soldier and being able to do it was Quentin is obviously going to be a great time. A great experience, you know. I think his take on it is gonna be… different. It ain’t gonna be the norm that’s for sure.”

Please tell me that cutting Bastards into multiple movies is absolutely necessary. Splitting Kill Bill ticked off alot of people, and probably hurt the movie’s chance at being seriously considered for many awards. Lets hope we aren’t headed down that road again over a film that might be 30 minutes longer than the studio would like. Please, QT – one movie.
