Talk about most anticipated for 2009 (a feature coming very soon, btw), Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” WWII epic is now set for a August 21, 2009 nationwide release date according to a press release on behalf of The Weinstein Company (TWC) and Universal Pictures.
No mention in the release if the film will play at the Cannes Film Festival in May of 2009, but last anyone checked, that was still the plan. The film stars Brad Pitt, Melanie Laurent, Diane Kruger, Mike Meyers, and a slew of other actors both name-identifiable and more obscure to North American audiences.
