Give Brad Pitt his Nazi Scalps! Inglourious Basterds Teaser

by Kurt Halfyard, February 12, 2009 5:34 AM

It plays like a cuckoo-modern fake-trailer for 2007s Grindhouse. Yes, here it is. The first full teaser trailer for Quentin Tarantino's 6th feature film. Enjoy. Sound Off.

Why had the music to be this shit?

I love the delivery for "And I want my scalps"

user-pic

This looks great I can't wait for this movie, I think the music is good and those blood-splattered titles with heavy-bass-sound are kinda cool. Cinematography looks great too, quite colorful for war movie, no shitty filters that wash out all colors and turn them into shades of gray like lot of war movies recently. Though, when I read screenplay I imagined Pitt's character more redneckish... but Im sure he will be great anyway.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! QT is back! Can't wait for this one to come out! I know they'll be a ton of people that will jump on here just to bash QT, but I'm a huge fan of his work and think he's a great writer/director that actually has put his own stamp on the movie industry. There are not many directors that you can identify a movie by just the way it was filmed (even famous ones, did the Crystal Skull look like they were made by the same 2 guys who did the original trilogy), the same holds true for writers as well. But almost everyone knows a Tarantino when they see it, and also when they here it. So if you're not a QT fan, watch the trailer and move on, no need to take time just to bash something you knew you weren't going to like already =)

As someone who continues to sing the underappreciated praises of Death Proof. Oh, yea, I'm looking forward to his.

user-pic

Well, it looks way better then the shitty Death Proof. This one has style and
pleasent Cinematigraphy. Hope the Jerkness that was obvious in the screenplay didn't find it's way in to the final movie.
And I'm very surprised there's is a Teaser/Trailer done yet, 'cause Quentin is a slow Filmmaker. Anyway, it looks pretty cool.

"they’ll be a ton of people that will jump on here just to bash QT"

they’ll be a ton of people that will jump on here just to praise QT

user-pic

Try Death Proof in mute, you'll enjoy it...

user-pic

Deathproof was awesome. This looks awesome.

user-pic

This trailer kind of proves that the poster that Twitch and several other sites are using isn't official though... The film is spelling Inglorious as Inglourious.

user-pic

It's strange that they aren't any shots of some of the more major stars in the film. The Bastards seem to be mostly unknowns, I only recognized one, the kid from Freaks and Geeks. This also seems to be a departure from QT in regards of use of color and angles.
Of course I'm interested in the film but Pitt's performance seems a bit off to men.

user-pic

I'll be the first to bash QT then. This is a filmmaker who seems to "de"volve with every film he makes and has only gotten more and more juvenile and completely irrelevent with each picture.

I think of Arnofosky. It's Amazing to think that he's gone visceral, gimmicky filmmaking like Pi & Requiem to The Wrestler. QT has gone from Jackie Brown to this? I'll be impressed when QT decides to step out of his comfort zone. Yeah, this looks fun, Death Proof had fun moments, and I love Kill Bill. But I fucking despise Eli Roth, looking at him makes me physically angry. Eli Roth reprsents everything that I hate about fanboy horror culture. And he's a fucking idiot!!!!

To some degree, the trailer for this reminds me a lot of Hostel. The whole pitch is essentially "Watch these jewish mercenaries do really, really, really bad things to germans for 2 hours. Sick, twisted, perverted, Gore, Gore, Gore"

meh....

And after reading some of Harry Knowles set report this is just going to be a movie for asshole frat boys, hip film majors, and other freaks & Geeks that can't get laid. This is the movie, where tons of socially awkward guys will sit at the bar talking about "how awesome and fucked that scene was where they......"

ok, cool. So what?

I guess QT has finally given up on on telling actual stories and is only interested in adding slick Hollywood production values, and obnoxiously witty dialouge to 70's B movies.

QT isn't the film messiah and he stands as one of the single most over rated artists of all time in my eyes.

user-pic

Agreed Jackie Brown is QT's best film, and that he has been shying away from making even remotely 'real' films for a while. That is his choice. Love it or hate it, and his status as American Cinema's 'hope' has long been lost in the genre heap. But this was not even news in 2005.

That will not prevent me from seeing and most likely enjoying whatever exploitation/comedy/what-have-you-violence that is likely to be on display in Basterds.

user-pic

Haha, Death Proof on mute. Great idea.

The bad nu-metal in the trailer sucks, and Pitt's accent is suspect, but looks good otherwise.

user-pic

"Only the Weinsteins and QT could make a so-called Grindhouse film that had no nudity in it."

I'm printing a t-shirt with that prase on.

Got my Ears shut in the Theater after 30 min, when as I was watching Death Proof back then. Could'nt stand any of the Non-Actors Tarantino uses (including himself) talking shit all the time.So you can consider it as watching Death Proof Mute. Bored me to Death.
Liked the Carchase at the end- but, really, If you go to the Cinem and pay fucking 9 € for a movie. You want a hell of experience.
At the End of Death proof, I just wanted my money back.
I remember watching "Save the Green Planet"- it was genious. Also "Oldboy" or at even "Casino Royal" wich was not genious, but gave you the feeling of ecxitement being witnessed something special. A movie has to be more then a quick-buck-cheapie today, if you really want to fill the theaters. I personelly want intelligent, original stories from a director with a different point of view, with humor and violance maybe, with credible drama, something that is also suspensefull, something the speaks to me, to my heart. I was never spoken to my heart by tarantino. Because the guy doesn't seem to understand feelings. How could he? The only things about life he knows are obviously from watching movies. And here's the Conclusion: As an Artist, he has simple nothing to say. As an entertainer- well he's entertaining but forgettable. 'Cause nothing remains in you. Except this "that was so cool..." as mentioned here earlier by others.
And Inglorious B will be no ecxeption (judging by the screenplay).
As I mentioned before, the Teaser looks cool to me. But this is far away from
a great movie, since it's not about the human drama, but bashing people's heads, movies of the 30ies from Germany, and Riefenstahl asthetics.

Just some thoughts from me inspired by the very vivid conversation on this board.

user-pic

what a bunch of haters. can't entertainment just be entertaining? I don't think anyone will defend QT's content as substantial, but his films are surely more ambitious, creative and technically impressive (Death Proof sports some of the most exciting car chases I've seen...fuck Ronin to hell) than any other "low concept" movies to come out these days. I think he is an exceptionally talented director who dedicates himself to...fun. Until he starts directing other people's scripts, I think we will just have to settle for that.

user-pic

Let off some steam people, some of us don't like Tarantino, some do, no big deal.

That said, and i think i have say it before here. I have no problem with Tarantino not having anything worthwile to say, or even some of the stealing he does, as long as any of that was fun to watch i wouldn't mind at all. But that's where the guy fails, Kill Bill bored me like few films have bored me. I remember being a bit interested after seeing the trailer, i was expecting a dumb but fun movie and all i got was a dumb, annoying and not fun movie. It was like watching a poorly written fan-fic filmed by some suburban american kid that loves WWE. Even flying people with swords is an area that has levels of quality, and KB doesn't even scratch the lowest bottom of the deepest barrel you could find.

user-pic

Apparently QT is hoping to have the movie ready for Cannes, so we shouldn't have long to wait before someone actually sees it.

I personally enjoy the stylised take QT does on genre movies. He's obviously mispent his youth watching loads and loads of classic and cult movies and he liberally borrows imagery, characters and plot situations and mixes them together. Sometimes it works (Pulp Fiction) sometimes not so much (I can see what he was striving for with Deathproof but he lost his audience with bad pacing and dialogue that was way over-cooked even by his standards).

user-pic

I'm not sure if I can get behind any film with QT's sensibilities when said film is set in WWII. In that context, I don't think his films can be enjoyable.

user-pic

Also, I thought Death Proof was exponentially (exaggeration) more interesting than Planet Terror. Death Proof nodded to issues of gender and power, friendship (ditching the cheerleader with a rapey hick??), psycho-sexual pathology, maybe some other shit. As ham handed and superficial as his "commentary" may be, Planet Terror just took its more problematic elements (the sexual terrorizing of the female characters) for granted.

Ok, that wasn't very well thought out, but maybe something to think about?

user-pic

@ thoughtatwork

Planet Terror was Grindhouse. Death Proof was not.

user-pic

Wasn't Planet Terror filled with all kinds of CGI sequences? Yeah, just like those old grindhouse movies!

Oh wait...

Kenix: No need to over think this, QT takes a lot of things from other movies because he doesn't have an inch of creativity or imagination in that empty cave that he has for a brain. As simple as that.

I figured it was worth it to post this link from Brian's View from The Brooklyn Bridge site:

http://brns.com/pages4/killbill2.html

The author is not Brian nor YTSL but the essay is still good -- long -- reading and covers a lot of the problems with Kill Bill 1.

user-pic

I get what that essay is saying and I agree. Kill Bill is not ambiguous at all, although it Volume 2 does attempt to be. Bill is a bit more sympathetic and we don't like that the Bride left him. It isn't a big effect, considering we're still cheering for the Bride, but at least it makes an attempt at ambiguity.

@ ChevalierAguila

Aren't scratches and scraps in Death Proof digital too.
Its not about CGI, if the movie feels right.And Planet Terror felt like a flick from the 80ies. And was fun too.

Completely agree with you on "the cave" statement

user-pic

This looks forced. Very pushy. And lackluster in dialog.
