If you haven’t had a chance, take a look at our interviews with B.J. Novak, Michael Fassbender, Eli Roth, Diane Kruger, Melanie Laurent, and Christoph Waltz.

This week we’ll be getting swarmed with Basterds. B.J. Novak kicks off our series of Inglourious Basterds interviews, which will include Michael Fassbender, Eli Roth (watch videos), Mélanie Laurent, Christoph Waltz, Diane Kruger, and the big man himself Quentin Tarantino.

The promotional team behind Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming Nazi epic, Inglourious Basterds just stepped up their marketing game in my book. Three new posters have been released for the film and boy do they look good! Each image reads, “Once Upon a Time in Nazi Occupied France.” Nice tag-line to accompany such gritty images. Each poster features a blood soaked weapon of choice, including a rifle, a bat, and a knife. An awesome teaser trailer was released last week, and now we have these posters as a nice follow up. Inglourious Basterds stars stars Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, Eli Roth, and B.J. Novak.
Inglourious Basterds is written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, and the film debuts in theaters on August 21 of this year.
