Well, OK, this is new!

In Brad Pitt’s upcoming World War II movie, he plays a vengeance-seeking Nazi hunter – and he looks the part.

The first portrait of Pitt’s character, Lt. Aldo Raine, in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (yes, the misspelling is intentional), was released Monday. Clad in tough-looking fighter gear, Pitt portrays the leader of the "Basterds," a group of Jewish-American soldiers who scalp and brutally kill Nazis.

Pitt’s character is described on Tarantino.info as not "your Warner Brothers 1950's WW2 hero … this is a hillbilly straight from the mountains of Tennessee."

So it's *not* going to be a remake of the 70s Italian pulp movie of (nearly) the same name, Inglorious Bastards?

Wow, I figured that would have been right up Tarantino's alley!  Although judging by that description it will be given the same treatment, with a modern twist no doubt....
