Director Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds,” a Second World War epic starring Brad Pitt, will hit North American cinemas on Aug. 21.

The quirkily misspelled movie follows a U.S. army lieutenant (Pitt) who leads a group of Jewish soldiers against the Nazis in occupied France.

The eclectic cast also includes Diane Kruger, Mike Myers, Samuel L. Jackson, B. J. Novak (TV’s “The Office”) and Chinese actress Maggie Cheung (”In the Mood for Love”).

The movie is Tarantino’s followup to 2007’s “Death Proof,” which was released as part of the “Grindhouse” anthology. Tarantino previously won a best original screenplay Oscar for 1994’s “Pulp Fiction.”

Pitt is currently appearing on big screens in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” a role which earned him Golden Globe and SAG nominations for best actor last month.
