First Look at Brad Pitt

First look at Aldo Raine

October 17th, 2008 - 5pm GMT / (posted by Sebastian)

Let me introduce you to the principal Basterd, the head honcho Basterd, most Inglourious of all Basterds, Lt. Aldo Raine (insert applause here). We've got a first look at Brad Pitt in full resistance fighter gear for you. Remember, this ain't your Warner Brothers 1950s WW2 hero, this is a hillbilly straight from the mountains of Tennessee, a man with a scar around his neck that "will never once be mentioned," this is Brad Pitt in one hundred percent Quentin Tarantino Nazi-scalping business. If you drooled over those few pictures of the farmhouse set we ran last week that almost killed our server, get ready to see the site slow down in a few hours. Here's a little quote from the much quoted Aldo Raine opening speech: "? I sure as hell, didnt come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half Sicily, and then jump out of a ****in air-o-plane, to teach the Nazi's lessons in humanity." So click on Brad Pitt here to the right?. and stay tuned for more inglorious coverage of Inglourious Basterds

The film that singlehandedly proves that movie fans can be excited about a film despite horrendous misspelling, Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, has a release date - and it's August 21, 2009.

The World War II-set film stars Brad Pitt as Lieutenant Aldo Raine, the leader of a group of Jewish soldiers carrying out targetted acts of retribution against the Nazis in Occupied France. They join with undercover agent Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) to try to take down the leaders of the Third Reich, but their plans bring them into contact with a Jewish woman, Shoshanna (M?lanie Laurent) who has her own revenge plans.

The new release date for the US puts the film up against horror Final Destination: Death Trip 3D and comedy The Goods: The Don Ready Story. It's a summer blockbuster sort of slot - a similar release date to Tropic Thunder last year - and while it hasn't been confirmed yet if the UK release date will be the same, expect it to come not too long after that day.

Teaser Trailer This Week (Source)

Want to see the trailer for Quentin Tarantino?s Inglourious Basterds? Well apparently the teaser trailer will be premiering on Entertainment Tonight this coming week according to Tarantino Archives, possibly on Thursday as the French site Allocine.fr was the first to claim.

I ignorantly wrote the news off over the weekend as a false rumor because I just didn?t believe there was a film coming out next week for the teaser to be attached to that also targets the same demographic and or is being released by The Weinstein Co. But apparently I was wrong. May-be it will be attached to Friday the 13th? Just seems like such an odd choice.

While the film has just entered post production, the movie is being rushed for a premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Thanks to /Film reader Christopher M for the tip.

I can't wait for this movie.

Wow, the trailer is mind blowing. Also brad pitt is awesome. And lol at the hitler at the end of trailer.

btw the only quentin tarantino's movie sucked ass was Death Proof. Who's agree? :D

I thought Four Rooms was terrible (though he only did one segment of it) and I hated Jackie Brown.

I can't wait for this movie.

I thought Four Rooms was terrible (though he only did one segment of it) and I hated Jackie Brown.

:o Four Rooms was hilarious. I've never watched Jackie Brown all the way through despite owning it on DVD. I hate really long films.

Four Rooms was awesome!

Jackie Brown - Hated it the first time I watched it, but I have since watched it 3 more times and its brilliant!

Yeah Death Proof was awful, mind you Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror was pretty bad. Infact Grindhouse was just pathetic.

    • Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
