Quentin Tarantino should make a “Prophets of Doom” film

It’s based on one of the more darkly hilarious and brutal portions of history in the past 1000 years, but it just reeks of a Tarantino film. Basically what happened historically is that a bunch of a hardcore Christians take over a town in Germany to form their own brutal cult, and war, sex, violence, and hilarity ensues.

The two big cult leaders are complete characters that I think any A-Lister would jump at the opportunity to play. And why it’s darkly hilarious, I’ll let you in on one part: the guys trying to take back the town from the violent cult were instructed to do so at sunrise. Some of the troops get so blind stinking drink the day before the battle that when they see the sunset, they’re convinced that it was sunrise the next day and proceed to charge the town 12 hours before it was supposed to begin, leading to their loss and another few months of rebuilding the army.

Where I heard of this from is the Hardcore History episode “Prophets of Doom”, and I think it’s my favorite of his. It could make for a great violent movie that only Tarantino could do properly. Even the soundtrack possibilities for this movie could be great. But check out the podcast if you want to hear what I’m ranting about: LINK
