In this clips we see:
– Sam Levine as PFC Hirschberg standing in a line with the other seven soldiers to be selected as Basterds. Also later on running with what appears to be an M60 machine gun.
– Eli Roth — who seems to have been already chosen as Lt. Aldo Raine’s (Brad Pitt) second-in-command — as Sgt. Donnie Donowitz aka the Bear Jew, swinging a baseball bat and clubbing a Nazi upside the head. Plus barking orders at the others.
– Diane Kruger as Bridget von Hammersmark, the German film star/ Allied spy wielding a pistol.
– A brief shot as Til Schweiger as Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz, the German born Basterd recruited by Pitt
– Melanie Laurent as Shosanna running through woods with her face all bloody
– B.J. Novack as PFC Utivich in line yelling, “Sir, yes sir!” to Pitt’s barking commands.
– August Diehl as Major Deiter Hellstrom having his head banged into a table.
– Martin Wuttke as Adolf Hitler screaming “Nein! Nein! Nein!”
Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” hits theaters August 21 and the full-blown trailer will hit this Friday in front of “Friday The 13th.” Maybe we’ll go see something and then sneak into the Jason movie just for those first few moments.
“…and I want my scalps!” Something about the way Pitt says this as he moves toward the camera, makes me laugh…but I can’t decide if that’s a good thing or not.
I think we all may have to resign ourselves to the fact that ‘Basterds’ is going to be more fun than it’s going to be cinematic masterpiece. That doesn’t mean it’s going to be bad, but you know what I mean…
I pictured a totally different delivery when I read Aldo’s lines in the script. Judging solely from this, I’m thinking Tarantino’s campiness is starting to catch up with him.
That’s a very good way of putting it. I wouldn’t disagree. I’ve been basically saying that since the first minute the script leaked. Except i think i used the term movieness rather than campiness — that sort of heightened affected sense when you know you’re watching a movie rather than seeing something so engrossing you could believe it’s true.
But in a way I’m glad i know what I’m in store for, so i can just try to enjoy it for what it is. The campy tone of Kill Bill really threw me off and I didn’t like it at first. I still don’t love it, but i’ve gotten over my disappointment.
It’s not like Tarantino is known for his ‘cinematic masterpieces’. I mean, I guess it would be nice if he kind of went away from himself for a film or two, but I’m perfectly fine with him the way he is.
Nice Youtube account dumbass!
Aww, cry.
