Weinstein: Pitt wants 'Inglourious Basterds 2'

Rex Features

Harvey Weinstein has said that Brad Pitt is willing to do a sequel to Inglourious Basterds.

The Weinstein Company co-chairman told GQ that Pitt has already said that he's on-board, should an update be made, Total Film reports.

He said: "Brad wants to do Inglorious II. We all want to do it. And the movie hasn’t even come out yet! But unfortunately I cannot give away the plot."

The producer explained that director Quentin Tarantino had so much material left over from the original that they considered making it into a Band Of Brothers style television series.

He added: "We could do two movies, three movies. I was begging for the movies, but Quentin wanted to do the TV series, Bob wanted to do the TV series, so it was like two against one, you know?

"And I was getting outvoted all over the place, so I just figured, alright, forget it, I’m not gonna be a loser, I’ll jump to the winning side. And then Quentin turns it into one movie. Go figure."

Last month, the Pulp Fiction helmer revealed that he had written half a script for a prequel to the current movie, which arrives in cinemas on August 21.
