PosterWire got their hands on an unused poster for Inglourious Basterds, and having seen the film I can appreciate how cool this is. It’s a shame it wasn’t used.

Illustrator James Goodridge spoke to them about the process behind it:

I came up with 6 designs one of which became the favourite of all concerned. However at this time the movie studio decided they’d like to try building it in photoshop. A few weeks later I was asked to produce an illustrated comp. I should mention how important it is to have a creative director who believes in the illustration option and I was so fortunate that this was the case. The comp was approved with only minor changes but we heard nothing more. I never met with anyone at the studio or the filmmakers so I don’t know what took place but the decision was made not to pursue the illustration.
This was the one project this year I thought I’d never get the opportunity to work on after seeing the early teasers so I was really excited to work on it. Yes, I wish the image had been used but I’ve been working in this arena long enough to know that, until it’s printed, nothing is certain.

Another Basterd poster

AICN received a new Inglourious Basterds poster featuring Brad Pitt.

Inglourious Basterds teaser trailer

We finally have some footage from Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds in the form of a teaser trailer, and as with most of Tarantino’s stuff it looks cool, however it is a little underwhelming. Brad Pitt seems to be playing a few characters with accents recently, and this is just another one of them. It takes you out of the movie a little.

Anyhow, watch it below!

Inglourious Basterds begins in German-occupied France, where Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema.
Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their enemy as “The Basterds,” Raine’s squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own.

The Weinstein Company have decided that they would start 2009 by announcing when Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds will be released. The film starring Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger and Christoph Waltz will be released on August 21, 2009. This puts the movie up against Final Destination: Death Trip 3D and comedy The Goods: The Don Ready Story (therefore there will be no competition).

Pitt plays Lt. Aldo Raine, who leads a group of Jewish-American soldiers during WWII called ‘The Basterds’. For these men, their job is to track down and viciously murder Nazis in an attempt to provoke fear in the Third Reich.
