First Image of Brad Pitt Dressed To Kill In Inglorious Basterds From Empire Online:

This first look from the set shows Brad Pitt as Lt. Aldo Raine, leader of a group of Jewish -American soldiers, known as 'The Basterds' who are chosen specifically to spread fear among the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis.

He's posing like that because he's in character goddammit!! I can't wait for this bad boy. I hope Tarantino doesn't strickly go schlocky with this one like KILL BILL. I mean I love KILL BILL but I'd like to see him get some noms come Awards season. At least for Best Screenplay.

It's probably a character poster shot.
