Universal Home Video has announced the release of Quentin Tarantino’s latest hit movie, Inglourious Basterds, for December 15! This makes December 15 a big day for DVD releases as two must-buys are now being released on the same day: Inglourious Basterds and The Hangover!
The film will be released in three different editions: one-disc DVD, two-disc DVD, and two-disc Blu-ray. You can check out the full list of special features for each edition below. Unfortunately, no official package artwork has been released yet.
If you didn’t catch Inglourious Basterds while it was in theaters then don’t miss the opportunity to see it in the comfort of your own home. The film was funny, intense, violent, and exciting; Tarantino has really outdone himself this time around. Not only is Brad Pitt’s character absolutely hilarious, he is surrounded by a fantastic cast who carries just as much weight in the movie. I never knew that people sitting around a table in a bar talking about a game could be so intense…
In the first year of the German occupation of France, 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 American soldiers to perform swift, shocking acts of retribution. Later 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 marquis, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own….
