Two great photos from Quentin Tarantino's upcoming “Inglourious Basterds” – remake of Enzo Castellari's “Inglorious Bastards” – are online.
“Inglourious Basterds” begins in German-occupied France, where Shoshanna 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…
“Inglorious Bastards” has been in the works for over 5 years now, but during the Cannes Film Festival 2008 Tarantino promised to return next year with his new film.
