FilmFocus has an interview with Tarantino where he confirms (or as close to it as he ever gets) that Inglorious Bastards is next, probalby followed by the Mandarin language film.

“I want do a Mandarin language movie, but I’m not sure it’ll be the next movie. It’ll probably be the next movie I do after the one I do next. I’m doing Inglorious Bastards next. It’s my bunch-of-guys-on-a-mission movie. It’s my World War 2 movie.”

The film will star Michael Madsen for definite, more on that later in the week, and names like Adam Sandler and Bo Svenson have been circling around the project. Tarantino told us it was too early to talk cast, but that he has some people in mind.

I’m glad to see that QT is being consistent with what he’s telling people – that indicates to me that he has likely made a decision and isn’t just winging it when asked about future plans.
