Poster Premiere: Inglourious Basterds

Empire magazine got the scoop on three new posters for Quentin Tarantino's upcoming WWII re-make Inglourious Basterds. From the looks of the posters and the trailer that we featured last week this movie could rival Pulp Fiction as his best work.

For those unfamiliar with the original and differently spelled Inglorious Bastards, or Quel Maledetto Treno Blindato (that's right it was originally an Italian film about American soliders), it was billed as "Whatever the Dirty Dozen did, they do it dirtier!" So that should give you a pretty good frame of reference for what the film will be like.

With Tarantino at the helm and his penchant for violence mixed in with a bit of story this should turn out to be one hell of a war film. I really want to know why all those names are on that bat. You can check out the other two posters here and here.

Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglourious Basterds' Trailer

11:01 AM / Posted by Bradford Oman / comments (2)

"You haven't seen war until you've seen it through the eyes of Quentin Tarantino."

That about sums up the trailer for Quentin Tarantino's eagerly awaited war film Inglourious Basterds. And no that's not a typo. Plot synopsis: During World War II a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers."

The film stars Brad Pitt, in a role quite unlike any other he's played before, commanding a great cast of his soldiers (including B.J. Novak from The Office and Samm Levine from Freaks and Geeks) as they go on a warpath trying to take down the Nazi stronghold in Germany.

This trailer is as fun as hell, and I'm even more interested to see what role Mike Myers plays in the film. Check it out below.
