According to Screen Rant, "Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming WWII film 'Inglourious Basterds' premiered at the Cannes Film Festival the other day to mostly positive reviews, with one person even calling it his best work since 'Pulp Fiction.' The cut people saw at Cannes was 2 hours 27 minutes, a fair length for a movie that’s reportedly made up of mostly dialogue-driven scenes. And yet it seems that may not be the version the general public will end up getting: We will most likely see an even longer cut.
From Tarantino himself comes the word that his Cannes-cut of 'Inglourious Basterds' is over 20 minutes short of the 2 hours and 48 minutes he is contractually obligated to produce. So what does this mean for the movie? Well, it appears that to make up the time, Tarantino will be re-editing the movie post-Cannes, changing things here and there and perhaps even adding an entire scene.
Some of the negative reviews have criticized 'Basterds' for seeming incomplete, the reason some people are citing that is the fact that he rushed like crazy to get it done in time for Cannes. Some people are saying that he should have taken his time, and presented a rougher edit of the movie, play it out of competition, and thus he would have avoided such criticism."
A longer version of the movie? That is like receiving the director's cut of the film in theaters! But why is it in the contract to make such a long movie?
More news to come! Catch ya' later!

Not a big fan of overly long movies but when it comes to Tarantino I want the experience to last as long as possible so bring it on!
Yeah, certain films drag out the story, such as "Benjamin Button."
But would you see a longer "Pulp Fiction" or "Kill Bill"? Yeah, I think we would.
:]
