Director Quentin "Kill Bill" Tarantino says his next film will be "INGLORIOUS BASTARDS", about a "Dirty Dozen" like platoon of World War II misfits, who become trapped behind enemy lines.

"I've written scenes, " said Tarantino.

"I've written a lot of it but now I have to sit down and start putting it together ... it will use Robert Aldrich's 'The Dirty Dozen' and a lot of those late-'60s/early-'70s epic war movies as a starting-off point. Pictures like 'Where Eagles Dare'. More so even than 'Kill Bill', it will be my true spaghetti Western-influenced film, but set in occupied France instead of the Old West. I see it as a time when you had these no-man's lands in Europe that really did resemble the Western landscapes of Sergio Leone."

Tarantino said he has enough written material for 3 "INGLORIOUS BASTARDS" features, which he plans to explore as a trilogy...
