Eddie Murphy Confirms Rumors
Eddie Murphy has confirmed that QT talked to him about Inglorious Bastards, but says there is no deal currently in place.
He also mentioned that Tarantino talked to him about possibly writing another Beverly Hills Cop movie for him. That was something I’d never heard mentioned before.

I didn’t know he wrote one. I will have to check Borders Books and Music to see if they carry it, I love Bruce Cambell!

imagine for a moment what QT’s life is like… he’s this manic, speed-talking teenager in a man’s body, drives around a PussyWagon, drinks gourmet coffee at diners and scribbles notes on napkins for cinematic scenes. he probably has ideas for every kind of movie, every kind of sequal or every treatise on each cool cinema genre possible. and if one of those scraps of paper seems like a project he feels good enough about, he’ll research it for a year or two, hammer out a screenplay that will undergo a dozen drafts or so, and get it into production, wich himself or someone else directing. he’s not prolific, and not but one percent of all of his ideas will come to the screen ’cause he’s a crazy 150 mph guy. but just think of this… imagine all those scaps of paper crammed into a drawer somewhere.

QT also owns a huge film print collection, so when he watches those films in his screening room, he must have so many ideas about how he can make those cool films even better. The toughest thing must be condensing all that coolness into one film. I’m sure right now hes watching alot of Grindhouse genre films and getting into that Exploitation Horror film mode. Probably a daily diet of films by Fulci, Argento, Bava, Lenzi, Deodato, Martino, Margheriti, Carpenter, DePalma, Miike and every other horror master in cinema.

I know this subject was a while back in these discussions, but I just wanted to say that Land of the Dead is only 3 days away and I can’t wait! I hope everyone who loves zombie or horror movies will do the slumping box office a favor and see this film.

LAND OF THE DEAD SPOILER ALERT!!!!!
but still read it!!!!!!
Okay guys, this is going back to an old one, however, the reson why Land of the Dead was called Land of the Dead was that it was comment on all the problems third world countries are going through right now with wars, and terrorism.
It is about Iraq, Afghanistan, and Isreal. The opening shot takes place in a gas station (the war being about oil). The first act of terrorism against the island, where everything is perfect, leads to a bigger act of terorism against the land of the dead (The U.S. attacking Iraq and afghanistan for the sept 11 attacks). A large tower on an island gets bomed (sept 11 attacks). A dumb old grey haired man runs the free world (George dubiya Bush). The line “sir you forgot to sign this check. You owe this group money. “oh really….. hey look a zombie”. Than he shoots the guy in the head (bush using terrorsits as a threat to get away from his duties as a leader).
All the dead people in the middle east has made it seem as if it is a land of the dead.
Everyone drives around in tanks shooting at those who are different. Life in Isreal between the palistinians and the Isrealy jews.
There is a scene where the one guy is telling the girl “nothing bad happened to me till the day everything changed’ The woman tells him how everyone has been feeling that way lately (how new yorkers feel about september, 11 2001).
There are so many other refernces that help to show why Land of the dead should have been called LAND OF THE DEAD. Especially the last line of the movie.
Sorry for ruining the film. Rent it anyways. It is awsome. One of the best movies of 2005. Fucking scary as hell. As I am sure grinde house will be.
NOW NO MORE TALK ABOUT LAND OF THE DEAD!!!!!!!

I Think that everybody underestamates the power the Eddie Murphy has ,he is so diverse he can be any charictor he wants to be this man is very Talented and I think he could do any role put in frount of him hands down and if he does team up with Quentin Tarantino it would one of the best teams in along time I would love to see EM, do 007 he would be awesume I hope to see these two work together on atleast 5 if not 10 movies togther.These two have the Brains and Talent to pull it off. Keep it up Eddie and Quentin you two are my Favorites in HollyWood.
Best Wishes Your Most Favorite FAN

I think that Eddie Murphy would be just the right pick for this movie. And he would perhaps consider to do more serious
roles.PS. What`s your favorite horror movie?
