The folks over at PosterWire have published something very, very cool this week — an unused illustration for Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds by James Goodridge. He created it as a proposal and it was passed on by The Weinstein Company. Personally, I am in favor of this one.

Along with the poster, PosterWire also published a short interview with Goodridge, who talked about how this poster came to be:

The movie studio had already produced some teaser posters but wanted a fresh take, truer to the director’s vision and influences and the story. The creative director had only a few requests from the studio but this was to be an occasion where I had considerable creative input.

Check out the poster below. Then if you can, try to convince us why you wouldn’t want one of these “basterds” on your wall in the comment section below.

So is that a good thing? Since Tarantino said this movie is in essence a western then I guess your comment is a compliment. if you read the interview with the artist he says the intention was to be true to Tarantino's influences. Having made a movie with countless western references and a score primarily derived from Morricone western scores the idea of harking back to that era of poster is completely in keeping. Maybe this isn't what you were refering to, maybe it's the swastika's, the star of David and the Nazi uniforms that scream "western"to you.

doesnt capture the spirit of the film tho. looks indiana jonsey.

Now, if only we can get The Americans to go see this movie then maybe it will be a hit. Brad Pitt playing an American seems as funny to them as Jackie Chan doing it. THEN we'll have to explain the freaking Jews, Nazis and Germans to them. Sigh. An endless uphill battle to NOTHING... :(
