Tarantino's last film, Death Proof, was certainly entertaining but it felt like Quentin was on auto-pilot to do a quickie flick with his friend Robert Rodriguez, as part of their Grindhouse double-bill. With Basterds in various stages of writing since at least 2001, it should see him stretching his talents to their full capacity once more. Online script reviews have praised Basterds as Tarantino's best yet; the only hope is that he hasn't rushed production to meet his crazy target of putting the film into competition at Cannes this year (he started filming in mid October '08 and Cannes is 3 months away!)
The trailer does not give much away in terms of plot, but it certainly gets the blood pumping! Find it at YouTube or in glorious HD Quicktime.
And yes, that is Neal Schweiber shooting a ridiculously large machine gun!
