Quentin Tarantino Knows What Evil Lurks in the Hearts of Men!

The fact that this isn't coming straight from his mouth gives me hope. We all know how Quentin Tarantino has a long and well-documented history of announcing his latest project, talking up a storm about its progress and then losing interest and moving on to something else. I love the guy and Inglorious Basterds was his masterpiece, but I can't honestly pay them much attention when he does that anymore.

So you'll find me (and everyone else in moviedom) quite surprised by what the rumor-mill says may be his next – The Shadow. The source comes courtesy of our pals at Pajiba and their go-to mole "The Hollywood Cog." Rumblings peg him as the director and, not surprisingly, writer too. Does that mean we'd end up with a script different from the one our very own Peter Georgiou reviewed back during our Inland Empire Strikes Back days?

None of us had any idea he was a fan of the character in any way, shape or form. But that's what I dig about him. There's just no way of knowing where his tastes lie. Remember when his list for the best films since 1992 including Woody Allen's Anything Else shoulder-to-shoulder next to stuff like Dogville, Fight Club and Team America?
