10 Things You Didn't Know About Inglourious Basterds
3. The Film Pre-Dates Both Kill Bill Films
The Kill Bill films may have been released to audiences a whole five years before the arrival of Inglourious Basterds in 2009, but the latter film was actually an idea Tarantino had a whole ten years prior to it being released. The director started early work on the film's script a decade before Kill Bill, but couldn't decide how to end the World War epic, and instead decided to shelve the idea so he could come back to it at a later date. If anyone ever tells you that you shouldn't start reading another book before finishing a current one: give them the above as an example for why they're wrong. Literature maybe a whole different kettle of fish to film, but it's still the same basic principle. There's certainly no harm in being involved in multiple projects at once, and both Kill Bill and Inglourious Basterds are evidence for the fact. Most presume that having two concurrent projects will result in you mixing details up, but there were no Nazi's in Kill Bill, and there certainly weren't any katana-wielding assassins in Inglourious Basterds.
