JoBlo has posted two of the first stills from Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming war epic Inglourious Basterds. The attached pic features Pitt sporting a nifty little moustache, playing Lt. Aldo Raine, who leads the “Basterds”. He’s a Jew from the mountains of Tennessee, that is known to the German army as Aldo the Apache. The “Basterds” are a group of Jewish-American soldiers chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis.
