Brad Pitt Asks for Nazi Scalps in Inglourious Basterds Trailer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Universal, Weinstein Company, Action, Adventure, Drama, Period, Trailers, Upcoming Releases
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.

Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:
Quentin Tarantino has finally injected a bit of estrogen into his growing Inglorious Bastards cast. Diane Kruger - probably best known for her work in the National Treasure installments - has just been added to the WWII-era film.
Kruger, who was born in Germany, will play Bridget Von Hammersmark, a German actress who helps a group of American Nazi killers. (That group is lead by Aldo Raine, Brad Pitt’s character.) The role will allow Diane to speak in both English and her native tongue.
This will be the second time Kruger has worked with the father of six. The two both starred in 2004’s Troy.
Inglorious Bastards - also starring Eli Roth, Mike Myers and B.J. Novak - begins filming in Germany on October 13.

UPDATE: Funnyman Mike Myers has also been recruited! You can find the details here.
As promised, Quentin Tarantino has definitely not stopped working on his epic WWII film, Inglorious Bastards, ever since he completed the script. After years of speculation concerning casting, a few of the roles have recently been confirmed (finally).
What came as quite a shock to most (considering Tarantino’s usual taste in actors), Hollywood heavyweight Brad Pitt was cast as the lead role of Jewish soldier Aldo Raine. Then again, it is only appropriate that Pitt play a part in a real Tarantino film, considering he had a minor role in Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers.

Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:
Although the paparazzi has been aiming to get close to Brangelina for days, Quentin Tarantino was recently able to score a one-on-one with Brad Pitt. Tarantino, who recently completed his script for Inglorious Bastards, just met with the actor in France in hopes of casting him in the film. According to Variety, Brad was in discussion to play the role of Aldo Raine.
As we reported earlier, the Kill Bill director would like to start production on his WWII era movie soon, and his current schedule is reflecting that mood. In addition to his meeting with Pitt, Quentin was reportedly scheduled to meet Leonardo DiCaprio yesterday about the character Hans Landa. Meanwhile, Tarantino and Harvey Weinstein are meeting with five different studios to secure a financial partner.
Filming on Inglorious Bastards is set to begin this fall in Germany and France.
