Five posters from the upcoming Quentin Tarantino-directed WWII film “Inglourious Basterds” have appeared online, featuring all the main characters from the movie: Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger), Col. Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) and Shosanna Dreyfus (Melanie Laurent).
“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…
“Inglourious Basterds” already premiered at the Cannes Film Festival 2009 will officially hit theaters worldwide on August 21st 2009.
