Universal City, California, October 20, 2009 – Cinematic icon and filmmaker Quentin Tarantino (Kill
Bill Vols. 1 & 2, Pulp Fiction) helms one of the most audaciously inventive, eagerly-anticipated films of
the year, Inglourious Basterds, coming to Blu-ray™ Hi-Def and DVD on December 15, 2009 from
Universal Studios Home Entertainment. Starring Academy Award® nominee Brad Pitt (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Burn After Reading) in an audacious, adrenaline-packed, high-octane World War II revenge fantasy, Inglourious Basterds has been hailed as one of Tarantino’s most stylish and
entertaining films to date. From its deceptively bucolic opening scenes to its incendiary final moments,
Inglourious Basterds delivers a heady combination of fact and fantasy that never fails to surprise.
Written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds is available on
Two-Disc Blu-ray™ Hi-Def, Two-Disc DVD Special Edition, Single-Disc DVD and download to
own. Both the Blu-ray™ and Two-Disc Special Edition DVD come with a Digital Copy of the film
for a limited time only just in time for the holiday season and over 90 minutes of startling and
engrossing behind-the-scenes bonus features.
Brad Pitt shines as the bodacious American commander of a lethal team of Jewish-American soldiers
known as “The Basterds” - whose exploits in occupied France strike terror in the hearts of the German
rank and file and enrage the German High Command. The acclaimed cast also includes Christoph
Waltz, who was named Best Actor at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival for his unforgettable performance
as a charming but cunning Nazi officer, B.J. Novak (“The Office”), Diane Kruger (National Treasure),
Eli Roth (director of Hostel), Mélanie Laurent (Paris), and Michael Fassbender (The Bourne Ultimatum). In addition, notable veteran guest stars including Mike Myers (Austin Powers), Rod Taylor (The Birds), Julie Dreyfus, (Kill Bill Vol. 1) and others contribute to this larger-than-life story that mixes pulp and propaganda in Tarantino’s inimitable way.
