A 'Bleep-load' of Nazis Die in Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt's New Flick

QUENTIN'S GIFT TO NAZI HATERS

Quentin Tarantino's new war movie, the strangely spelled "Inglourious Basterds," is shaping up to be the blood-spattered antidote for anyone who's depressed by the recent torrent of Holocaust movies - it's one big slaughterfest in which hundreds of Nazis are gleefully executed in the most gruesome ways possible.

"If you thought Nazis died in 'The Dirty Dozen,' brother, you ain't seen nothing yet," film critic Harry Knowles - who visited the German set of the Harvey Weinstein-produced picture - writes on Ain't It Cool News. "There are a [bleep]load of Nazis dying. Seriously."

In the movie, Brad Pitt heads up a team of "Bowery Boy Jews seemingly right from the heart of Hell's Kitchen" who are out to collect 100 Nazi scalps each, according to Knowles. The plot goes from broad comedy to outright horror. In one scene, a soldier played by Eli Roth takes a bat to one Nazi, which ended up "splattering Nazi-brain blood all over me and my script, even though I was a good 15 to 20 feet away," Knowles says. (Roth's casting is a bit of an inside joke as he's also the director who grossed out audiences with the torture-porn shocker "Hostel.")

In another scene, actor Omar Doom, who's described as looking like a "young Al Pacino," effortlessly scalps some Germans while machine-gunning others.

An insider said: "The Nazis really get their comeuppance. It's a big change from all the downbeat Holocaust films over the holidays," referring to "The Reader," "Valkyrie," "Defiance," "Good," "Adam Resurrected" and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas."

Tarantino told Empire magazine that one Scene, set in a basement bar, will resemble " 'Reservoir Dogs' but with Nazis and in German." He adds: "The Basterds are acting like the Apaches in a no-win situation."

The flick - which co-stars Mike Myers, Samuel L. Jackson, Diane Kruger, Cloris Leachman and Rod Taylor - is set to debut at the Cannes Film Festival this spring.

Nope I just thought that it was pretty terrible the only decent bit was for the car chase - even thou it was also really stupid

Do you understand the point of a Grindhouse film? Out of the two, QT's Death Proof was a lot more realistic to a traditional grindhouse film than what Planet Terror is.

Wow. Finally caught the trailer for this (a month late!) in IMDB's main page. This is going to be awesome. I cannot imagine BJ Novak (Ryan The Temp from the US Office) splitting Nazi heads...I completely forgot he was going to be in this movie until I saw him in the trailer!

Also, all of those posters are excellent! Must have them in high res! :D

Probably this will be Pitt's best performance. " We'll be doing one thing and one thing only..... Killin' Nazis. " I hope he is badass.
