Damn Brad Pitt Is One Sexy Nazi Killing Inglourious Basterd!

Published at:  Oct 17, 2008 5:03:16 PM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here... I'm incredibly curious about INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS. LOVE the script - and I'm intrigued by the casting, mainly because it isn't like any of Quentin's other films. He said he was writing characters without pre-casting the film as he has done his other films - and that his casting process was to find the right actor for to bring those characters to life. One of the sure fire home runs, is Brad Pitt as the leader of the INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS - Lt. Aldo Raine. A fantastic character. I was chatting with Eli Roth online yesterday, who says that Brad is beyond cool & fun on the set - and then today I get an image of Brad as Lt. Aldo Raine - Here's the Head Basterd!

    The scar? And other thoughts..

    by wilsonfisk89

    possible spoiler below, but prob not....

    I found myself looking for the lynching scar that is said to be around his neck in the script. But I guess its just as the script mentions, something like, "it will never be spoken of." That kind of shit is why Tarantino is a master, the worlds within his films are so thouroughly thought out. I was watching some interview w him recently where he explained that. For instance, in the Kill Bill universe, it is blasphemous and deadly for a Hanzo sword to ever be taken out of its sheath and returned without tasting blood. So when California Mountain Snake took Budd's Hanzo sword out to gawk at it, Boom, she winds up fucked up and eyeless. I would love to hear of the thousands of little details that populate each of his film universes.

    This film has the potential to be incredible... But, it is strange how Pitt/The Basterds are not really the stars as many may think...

    (since this has been brought up here..) is obviously in jest now. i think walberg might not have thought that it was that funny at first, but now he's going out of hisway to mention that he's 'mad' at samberg.. mark my words, good ole marky mark is going to be appearing along side samberg in an SNL skit real soon.

What I'm saying is you can cover that man in pig crap and sauerkraut, and he'd still be one of the most handsome men in the world. There just ain't enough ugly in the world to fight that kinda handsome.

    Spelling.

    by mr.brownstone

    The story behind the spelling is that it was spelled that way on the script and spelled that way in the press release announcing the start of shooting. So it's the official spelling. I'm guessing it has something to do with the MPAA or legal rights to the correctly spelled title.

    Okay, I am serious. This is really what I dreamed! Quint was making a set visit in Germany, but all of the actors were replaced with 8 year old kids, because Tarantino suddenly came up with the idea to make a family friendly kids movie instead of Bastards!

    by jdanielp

    Unfrozen for a few years with a history of working for the government (where his "age" would make sense), casting Pitt as Captain America could be pure magic. He's gotta want it, though (muscles and all.) And he'd have to prove himself as the leader the character requires. (Note: There's a few other casting suggestions that I've been okay with, as well.)

    It's a 12x12 silk

    by broken ear

    You put your key light thru the silk which softens and gives direction to the light. Not a green screen or a reflector. The black velvet to the left and right helps isolate the light to it's only on him, not on the foreground or background.

He's uber-famous because WE made him that way, but he's still just a human being like the rest of us. Anyway, really looking forward to this one. And I'm glad that Pitt can check QT to his director list (he sure has worked with a lot of good ones).
