The teaser trailer has been released for Quentin Tarantino's WWII film
Inglorious Basterds. It's hard to know what to expect from the finished film. The trailer shows star Brad Pitt addressing his misfit company of men in a strong southern accent and warning them that, for this mission behind enemy lines, each man is committed to bringing him 100 German scalps. (Tarantino obviously isn't counting on Germany as the target audience for the new film.) There are some rapidly-cut action sequences, some of which hint at the brutality the Americans show against German soldiers. The film was loosely inspired by a 1970s Italian war movie. Although the trailer plays the action straight, one has to assume there must be a strong satirical aspect to the film: we see glimpses of Adolf Hitler ranting and raving and the cast includes Mike Myers! One thing we love: the titles on the trailer, which are designed to emulate those of the Sergio Leone westerns. To view
