The guys over at BadTaste have premiered an Italian poster for Quentin Tarantino‘s World War II movie drama “Inglourious Basterds“. With Brad Pitt rightly front and centre flanked by his Nazi-hunting buddies Til Schweiger and Eli Roth, we also get to see French newcomer Mélanie Laurent and Diane Kruger and in a luscious scarlet hue, as well as brooding Christoph Waltz who plays SS Col. Hans Landa with a hint of charisma and a barrel-load of menace.
The Weinstein Company (TWC) is trying to cut 40 minutes from Tarantino's “Inglourious Basterds” (It's now 2'40”, and considered too long a sit, especially for American audiences.)
Because TWC has been having financial issues and “Inglourious Basterds” had mixed reviews at Cannes, Weinstein and co-producer Universal are both trying to convince Tarantino to cut the film .
At the end of the festival, Tarantino himself started telling press that he would be going back into the editing room, potentially adding a new scene before the infamous bar scene in the middle of the movie.
The film is scheduled to appear in theaters on August 21, 2009.
