Rare 35mm Screening of Castellari's Inglorious Bastards

Inglorious Bastards
Tuesday, July 22
Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar (1120 S. Lamar)
10:45pm, Free
[info]
After an eternity of speculation and rumor, Quentin Tarantino's remake of Enzo Castellari's 1978 WWII flick Inglorious Bastards is finally moving forward. A final draft of the script recently popped up online, and just last month AICN reported that production is definitely going ahead, and that the finished version might very well be split into two separate flicks.

This Tuesday, the folks at the Alamo Drafthouse are hosting an extremely rare 35mm screening of Castellari's original version, which, by all accounts, is utterly badass (Fred Williamson is in it... isn't that enough for you?). The screening is FREE, and although RSVP priority was given to Fantastic Fest badgeholders, there will be some tickets available at the door. Come one, come all.

Bastards follows a group of American soldiers who are in the process of being sent to military prison for various crimes when their convoy is attacked by Germans. The gang escapes toward Switzerland in order to avoid jail time, but things don't go exactly as planned, and the hard-nosed cons become involved in a plot to steal a warhead for the French Underground.
