I don't consider Quentin Tarantino's decision to add Julie Dreyfus, Michael Bacall and Omar Doom to the cast of Inglorious Bastards to be hot news. But the poster that accompanied the original Playlist story is cool. Obviously meant to look like a Nazi souvenir that's been sitting in some World War II vet's attic for the last 60 years.

Sweet poster. All of Tarantino's one-sheets have been slick so this is no surprise.

I saw this poster at least a month ago and was under the impression it was fan-made. still looks great, nonetheless

Obviously not a person who's seen the first KILL BILL, then (re: Julie Dreyfus).

I have unfortunately seen both parts. Still don't know/remember who she is.

It's cool (my earlier comment was meant as a joke) -- she played the de-limbed Sofie Fatale in the first flick (losing either one, or two, arms, depending on which version you're watching).

I would have been more excited if he had cast Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

That poster promises a movie far more badass than what Tarantino has in store.

I think the poster one of the better ones I've ever seen.
I remember reading an early version of KILL BILL and had very mixed opinions on it. It was so weird with the cartoonish character-names and confrontations going fifteen steps beyond over the top -- balanced by flashes of disarming wit... But it went all over the place so I wasn't really looking forward to it...
Then I saw the KILL BILL 1 and all the pieces fell into place (at least for me)...
When I studied screenwriting in the mid 90s (in the USA no less -- I'm living in Sweden) I was reminded of one of the most vital and effective cinematic storytelling techniques around and that was the story's inner unity and integrity can make anything work as long as you keep doing your thing all the way through movie -- as long as you don't violate your own style...
So I read INGLORIOUS BASTARDS with this KILL BILL-experience in mind -- and INGLORIOUS BASTARDS is very witty, keeps to it's on strange rules with great discipline and therefore works (within itself) perfectly IMHO. I seems to me that Tarantino's secret recipe always is to make unpredictability a major factor in his storytelling -- and that's very rare these days... And I admire him very much for this...
WARNING! MAJOR SPOILER:
I mean, Tarantino, is the only storyteller ever who practically slaughters the entire Nazi-regime in avery creative and marvellous way. Entirely unique -- and since the entire story works as a play on our expectations -- this radically deranged story-developement works like gangbusters (at least for me -- and I may be wrong)...
END OF SPOILER
And on a completely different matter I was very happy to see Paul Krugman getting the Nobel-award in economics. I always enjoy reading is blog and columns in the "The Grey Lady"...

They didn't spell "Basterds" right. At least that's how tarantino spelled it over and over again in his script.

I wonder when Brad Pitt's name will start showing up on these posters.
and yeah, I miss the "Basterds" spelling as well.

I think we need to cue a LexG post here. Something to do with "ownage."
I've been waiting for this movie since he announced it right after Pulp Fiction. QT doesn't always succeed, but he's never boring. (Okay, the extended version of Death Proof gets a little tedious.)
After seeing Rambo, I'll bet QT wishes he hadn't dragged his feet and had done the original concept of this movie with 80s action stars.

"the entire story works as a play on our expectations" - I think they call that expectation a little thing called "Historical fact."
I had the same feeling reading the third act of Basterds as watching Palin declare that she wasn't busted for an ethics violation. "What universe are you in?"
And I had the same feeling after reading Kill Bill - "Is this supposed to be a series on HBO?" Although now Kill Bill provides all the programming needed for Spike's Saturday broadcasting schedule

Agreed. But Palin induce nightmares while BASTERDS third act has real entertainment value, at least for me...
