Empire has debuted four more character posters for Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds.” In the same aesthetic style of the last poster released, each new poster details the four characters played by Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, Melanie Laurent and Christoph Waltz and features a quote by them from the film.
Interestingly, the chosen four here are not the four with top billing on the combined poster of similar aesthetic. That poster was led by Pitt and Waltz but had Michael Fassbender and Eli Roth topping Kruger, Daniel Bruhl and Til Schweiger before Laurent. As we noted though, these four are much more appropriate as leads with Pitt and Kruger as the big-name, marketing leads while Laurent and Waltz are the actual but unknown-to-American-audiences protagonists.
Here are the full posters with their quotes transcribed for your viewing convenience:
– Brad Pitt as Lt. Aldo Raine: “We’re in the Nazi killing business, and cousin, business is a a-boomin'”
– Diane Kruger as Bridget Von Hammersmark: “Can you Americans speak any other language than English?”
– Melanie Laurent as Shosanna Dreyfus: “…because Marcel, my sweet, we’re going to make a film, just for the Nazis”
– Christoph Waltz as Col. Landa, The Jew Hunter: “I love my unofficial title, precisely because I have earned it.”
“Inglourious Basterds” hits theaters on August 21st.
