Little bit surprised there seems to be no thread about the new Tarantino-movie, so let's open one
A few years have passed and now Quentin had the time to make his World War 2 movie. Plot seems to be:
"Two story lines... converge: One follows a group of prisoners-turned-soldiers whose mission is to take down a group of Nazis, and the other follows a young Jewish woman who seeks to avenge the death of her parents by this Nazi group." The US-Release Date is August 21 and I'm really looking forward to it, the actors involved are also pretty good, here a list (taken of wikipedia, so if it isn't correct it's wikis fault ;-)):
The AlliesThe BasterdsBrad Pitt as
Lt. Aldo Raine, an illiterate hillbilly from the mountains of Tennessee, who puts together a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers. He bears a rope burn on his neck, which will never be mentioned in the film (the script hints that he might have survived a lynching). One of the film´s main protagonists: the character has been described as "a voluble, freewheeling outlaw" similar to Jules Winnfield from Tarantino's Pulp Fiction.
Eli Roth as
Sgt. Donnie Donowitz: "a baseball bat-swinging Nazi hunter". Known as "The Bear Jew" among Nazis. Some of them seem to believe that Donowitz is in fact, a vengeful golem. It is rumored that the role was originally conceived for Adam Sandler, who was in talks with Tarantino before declining due to schedule conflicts with the film Funny People.

What I really like about them is their variety of songs and sounds they bring to the table. Each record has its own distinct sound.
