Hey everyone, I just got back from the Cannes Film Festival and Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds was the film everyone was talking about. I didn't go to the premiere, (only the fun filled after party) but I heard the movie was amazing, and as expected, extremely violent I MUST SEE IT NOW!
I ran into Eli Roth who was there promoting, but he's not allowed to discuss the film. The press frenzy on this is a wild one! There were thousands of people on the street and huge billboards of the stars of the film were hung on the side of the Carlton Hotel. You couldn't walk by without staring at them, it was amazing!
Eli is a fan favorite of the horror genre, we love his films, and now we get to see him star in a film with Brad Pitt! COOL!!!! Eli has really come a long way, he looked amazing and it looks like he's gotten in great shape too!
I first saw him on the infamous Octopus, Paul Allen's monster of a yacht, where he was chatting up the who's who of the movie industry, then later at the beachfront after party for Inglorious Basterds. This party was really cool and you could even arrive by boat as many did.
Later in the week at AmfAR, the charity event Sharon Stone hosts every year, he was on stage selling auction items from the film, even offering up some of his chest hairs to the highest bidder. It was very funny!
Below are some pictures from Cannes for all you fans to enjoy!
Best,
