Like clockwork, Quentin Tarantino churns out another great film about every two years. Last year, after screening Death Proof at Cannes, Tarantino promised he’d be back in 2009 with a finished copy of his latest film, Inglorious Basterds.

Variety is reporting that QT is heading into the editing room post haste to cut a copy of the film that will be ready to be shown at The Cannes Film Festival sometime in May (13th – 24th). If that’s the case, we should see the estimated wide release date of August 21st come to light.

I always look forward to the next Tarantino project and Inglorious Basterds is no exception. Also according to Variety, the film will be split into five chapters:

Chapter 1: Once Upon a Time in Nazi Occupied France
Chapter 2: Inglourious Basterds
Chapter 3: German Night in Paris (filmed in “French New Wave Black and White”)
Chapter 4: Operation Kino
Chapter 5: Revenge of the Giant Face
