“Once upon a time in Nazi occupied France…” We can’t say by any stretch of the imagination we’re loving these Lionsgate-y looking “Inglourious Basterds” posters for Quentin Tarantino’s new WII film.
They look like a cross between a Drowning Pool album cover, a torture-porn or lame horror poster, but we get the marketing teaser angle so we’ll forgive it. Blood, loves? The easy-lay geeks are surely all a flutter over them. The one thing we do like is the 3rd poster at the top right, which has the Tarantino ‘Inglourious’ scrawl from the script transposed onto the the butt of a rifle. That’s a nice little touch, but we’re hoping the film doesn’t turn out to be a “Let The Bodies Hit The Floor,” WWE dude-core fest. Hopefully that’s just how they’ll market it, so suck in the 20-somethings that love a little blood, gore and badass action. [Empire]
Update: We knew we were onto something, but couldn’t articulate it. Lionsgate? Torture-Porn? A Hollywood Elsewhere reader nails it (god, we’re dumb sometimes). This looks like a fucking poster for an Eli Roth movie! not a Quentin Tarantino movie and that’s a big, big problem.
