Over the years we've seen our fair share of vague movie posters which give virtually no clues about the film itself. That's not the case for Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. Over the weekend, Quint at AICN revealed a character poster for Brad Pitt's Lt. Aldo Raine character which features bold letters "Brad Pitt Is A Basterd" and sports a neckline which seems to give clues to Raine's blood lust.

To check the new poster in high resolution glory, click here. And here's the trailer released back in February.

The action-adventure features an ensemble cast including Pitt, Diane Kruger, Melanie Laurent, Christoph Waltz, Daniel Bruhl, Eli Roth, Samm Levine, B.J. Novak, Til Schweiger, Gedeon Burkhard, Paul Rust, Michael Bacall, Omar Doom, Sylvester Groth, Julie Dreyfus, Jacky Ido, August Diehl, Martin Wuttke, Richard Sammel, Christian Berkel, Sonke Mohring, Michael Fassbender, Mike Myers, Rod Taylor, Denis Menochet, Cloris Leachman, Maggie Cheung and Samuel L. Jackson. Quentin is behind the camera, based on a script he penned for The Weinstein Company and Universal Pictures.

Plot Summary: "Inglourious Basterds" begins in German-occupied France, where Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema.

Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their enemy as "The Basterds," Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own...

Inglourious Basterds will hit theaters August 21, 2009.
