As you can see in the full version below, the new poster for Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds features Brad Pitt as Aldo Raine standing atop a pile of dead Nazis. Clint Eastwood reportedly saw the poster and issued Brad Pitt a challenge: he’d to stand on his pile of dead gooks, and they’d measure who was taller. When Pitt refused, Eastwood hit him with a dead gook.

Entertainment Tonight has the first mini-teaser for Quentin Tarantino’s horribly misspelled war epic Inglourious Basterds. We don’t get much, just a little taste of Brad Pitt’s Foghorn Leghorn with a porn stache, Aldo Raine. They show the first bit of his “Nazi scalps” monologue, but not enough to tell whether it’s been cut down from the original script, or if Aldo Raine’s schtick is still repeating everything he says six times like my middle school gym teacher. “Look heer, fellas, were hear fer one thing and one thing only, and that one thing is killin’ Nazis, cuz killin nazis is the only reason were here.”

As previously speculated, Brad Pitt has been officially confirmed as the lead in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards. Pitt will play Lieutenant Aldo Raine, head of the Jewish resistance.
Pitt’s character is a voluble, freewheeling outlaw in the manner of Samuel L. Jackson’s Jules Winnfield in "Pulp Fiction," prone to saying things like "we’re gonna be doing one thing, and one thing only, and that’s killing Nazis," according to those familiar with the script. [THR]
You can read big chunk of Pitt’s dialogue from the script here. Jesus, I just re-read that monologue and I gotta say: good luck you handsome, hot-wife-having bastard. Because that coke-fueled mess of a script is gonna be a five-hour movie, even if you don’t assume all those commas are meant as dramatic pauses.
