Brad Pitt has said it before, but it seems that he’s really serious when he says that he’d love to do a prequel of Inglourious Basterds.

According to E! Online, Brad’s co-star Eli Roth confirmed that there would be no problem with getting the cast back together for another round, saying, “Everybody would drop whatever they’re doing to go back to work with Quentin.” He also added that Brad routinely spoke about doing a prequel and that Quentin Tarantino already has most of it written, including some extra footage that wasn’t used in the original film; rather than using it as bonus features on the DVD, he’s decided to save it for the prequel.
I think it’s pretty exciting that Brad may be in a prequel for Inglourious Basterds since there’s so much backstory that they could tell us. Tarantino is a fabulous director and although he’s never shied away from violence in his films, the thing is he’s also an excellent storyteller so I’ll be looking forward to this!
I think it says a lot, too, about a director when the cast would be ready to come running to film another movie with him!
In related news the Inglourious Basterds DVD, Blu-Ray, and 2-Disc Special Edition in each format will be available on December 15th. Perfect timing for the holidays!

Kimmy, I was away from home most of the day yesterday, volunteering at my oldest daughter’s school. I didn’t really catch up on much when I got home because my youngest has been sick with a bad cough for two weeks, and neither of us is getting much sleep because of it. I’m running on about three hours of sleep per night and I’m so tired that I just couldn’t catch up last night.
Your comment is there now, sorry for the delay! :)

Sherry,I hope your daughter will be feeling better soon. I remember when our kids were sick and the lack of sleep. Also, right now everyone is concerned what their children have.
I did want to make a remark, as gently as I can, that when I go into moderation I never question why, I just wait it out. I have been on Pittwatch long enough to know that there is a reason why you are behind. I think everyone needs to just wait it out.

Angela according to local law foreigners aren’t even allowed to adopt Syrian children. That story was from a British tab that OK magazine picked up to make it look like Angie wants to adopt but Brad doesn’t. According to the tabs she is adopting A Burmese, Indian, Russian, a girl from New Orleans, A Philipina, an Ethiopia girl and a Syrian child . All in 2009. As for the books Andrew Morton only said the story about Angie sleeping with mom’s boyfriend isn’t in his book. As for the guy who wrote the MJ book he never denied the stuff in the tabs he simply said he hadn’t spoken to Star magazine. All the stuff they printed came from his website. Trust me he is more vile than all the tabloids combined.

i’m aware i’m prolonging the tabloid talk on here, but just for the sake of argument, i read in the jjb’s that the us weekly cover is misleading, and that apparently, us weekly did their own research and debunked halprin’s claims. i think that’s what i read. i’m looking it up on jjb again just to be sure.

Halperin is a hack, that’s proven from his MJ book and his website. He’s coattailing for money and it’s working.

oops. it wasn’t jjb, but from souliejolie. one of the souliejolie members had read the us weekly issue, and basically, the tabloid was calling halperin’s book a hack. haha. kind of funny and ironic since it’s us weekly debunking the falsehoods this time, and the tabloid went so far as to say that the JPs are happy. i’ll never read us weekly, as it is still tab, and it will probably switch its tune on the jps sooner or later. while to some degree i am glad this tab called BS on halperin, it’s clear it is not above being lowly and trying to cash in on the halperin book by using a misleading cover.
anyway, it’s clear halperin’s a hack. i’ve read customer reviews of his other books, and a lot of them have returned their purchases because it was clear the guy is no real journalist or biographer, but a creative fiction writer. i don’t know how he can live his life that way, making money and writing fiction about celebrities. sadly, there is a market out there for people who eat up scandalous writings, even if they’re false.

Angela – you can’t adopt on Syria because of the Sharia Law. But i’ve read that you can adopt in catholic owned orphanage.. but you have to be both Catholics if you want to adopt and another but on this is that most Catholic run orphanage there is still considering the sharia LAw..

yoco- Very well said. Also, I highly doubt Angie would adopt a child if Brad wasn’t ready to add to the family! All of that said, I actually laughed when I saw OK’s cover. That’s because I failed to see how Angie supposedly filing solo for adoption means Brad isn’t ready for more kids.
I mean, Angie’s name was the only one on the papers when Pax was adopted, too…and it certainly didn’t mean Brad wasn’t ready for more kids! In that case, Angie had adopted as a single parent due to the fact that Vietnamese law makes it difficult for unmarried couples to adopt. As we all know, Brad adopted Pax stateside later on. :)
The point is, when Angie and Brad do adopt again (I think we all know it’s more than likely going to be when, not if! :)), it’s very likely that Angie WILL adopt the child on her own at first, since, from what I’ve read, most countries are like Vietnam and make it difficult for unmarried couples to adopt.
However, just like with Pax (and Maddox and Zahara), Brad will adopt the child stateside later. :) All of that said, I DO think their next adoption will be from an African country (since they’ve talked about wanting to “balance the races” and Zahara is currently the only kid without a “match” so to speak), perhaps Ethiopia again.
I’ll bet I know why this last adoption rumor got started, though. I’ll bet anything the tabs pounced on the fact that Angie and Brad were recently in Syria for humantarian work.
