Earlier this month, B.J. Novak found it difficult to describe Inglorious Basterds. Let’s see if this teaser trailer can help fill in the blanks.

In the film, Brad Pitt plays Lt. Aldo Raine, the leader of a group of Jewish-American soldiers on a mission to kill Nazis. The movie, which clearly promises to be a bloody one, was directed by none other than Quentin Tarantino.

After previewing the trailer, let us know what you think. Did it do enough to make you overlook Brad’s hideous mustache? Is this the WWII film that will make everyone forget Valkyrie ever existed?

Inglourious Basterds hits theaters on August 21.
