Inglorious Prequels - Tarantino Jumps The Gun

In a highly presumptuous move (even by his standards), Quentin Tarantino has announced plans to jump onboard the bandwagon of the recent Hollywood trend towards origins tales. His latest film ‘Inglorious Basterds’ has not even enjoyed its eagerly awaited Cannes premiere yet and director Tarantino is already busily planning a prequel. ‘I have a half written prequel ready to go if this movies a smash’ he told The New York Times recently. The story we are told would expand upon a subplot featured in the first film. The always over enthusiastic director even goes so far as to suggest that his characters could take on the Ku Klux Klan once finished with their exploits in Europe. This is of course not the first time the director has threatened to tell the back-story of a character. His half baked intentions to create a ‘Pulp Fiction’ by-product featuring John Travolta’s character Vincent Vega came to nothing, presumably while Tarantino was off on another tangent.
