Cult American director Quentin Tarantino is making a new action film entirely in the Chinese Mandarin language. The film will be an homage to the 1970s low-budget 'chopsocky' kung-fu genre, which Tarantino is a long-time admirer of. He is planning two versions, one with English subtitles and another dubbed into English, deliberately badly, as a nod to the original 'chopsocky' films. He tells British movie magazine Total Film, "My next movie is gonna be another kung fu film that's gonna blow your a*ses off. The next movie will be in Mandarin. I enjoyed shooting all the Japanese stuff in Kill Bill so much that this whole film will be entirely in Mandarin. If you're not up to watching it with subtitles, I really want to do a full-on dubbed version." The film, which will begin production next year, replaces Inglorious Bastards, a Second World War epic Tarantino has in the pipeline.

Can't say I was hoping for this, but I'll be there opening weekend no doubt.
Some of the HK parody films are awesome, latest one I watched was a total rip up at Infernal Affairs which was huge in Hong Kong. Could not stop laughing, heck even some of the cast of the original movie played some of their roles in the parody. Granted some of them are just plain stupid but they do the job.belgurdo said:

I'd rather see him do a godzilla flick.

what about Inglorious Bastards? Or the Vega Bros. movie? or the Bond flick? or the Kill Bill prequel? Translation: QT likes to talk. I'll believe what his "next movie" is when im sitting in the theatre watching it.
