Well, it looks like Quentin Tarantino might be reviving his career. After his last picture "Deathproof" flopped bigtime, he needs a hit now more than ever. And it looks like he has done it with his new film, "Inglorious Basterds." The movie has a stellar cast of Brad Pitt, Eli Roth, Diane Kruger, Mike Myers, Sam Jackson, and even BJ Novak (yes, Ryan from The Office).
The premise of the movie revolves around a squad of Jewish-Americans soldiers known as "The Basterds" whose mission is to spread fear throughout Nazi-occupied France during WWII by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. Along the way, the Basterds cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris that is targeted by soldiers.
This is the kind of story that Tarantino not only thrives on, but is also one that allows him to broaden his horizons and venture into new territory creatively that differs from his signature films, i.e. "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs." Also promising is the fact that Liutenant Aldo Raine seems to be the perfect type of unique, edgy character that Brad Pitt will inhabit and kill it in, i.e. his memorable performances in Snatch, 12 Monkeys, and Fight Club.
Couple all of those things with the ill new trailer that was just released, and Tarantino has found himself a fan in Kiki. Check it out below:
