New Inglourious Basterds Poster Swipes from Conan

The latest poster released by the Weinstein Co. resembles a classic Conan cover.
The 14th--that's right, 14th--poster released by the Weinstein Co. to promote the upcoming Quentin Tarantino revenge movie, Inglourious Basterds, bares a striking resemblance to a composition made famous by fantasy painter Frank Frazetta.

GUNSMITH - 7/12/2009, 5:01 AM
Well conans pic has a hand coming up from the mound and the Basterd one has a foot......so they both are attached to the human body ...sooooo....yeah wow they totally ripped that off :P

Gunsmith she should be hanging off my penis :)

Duckfish @ ; )

Damn, you gotta luv EVIL DEAD movies! ; )
LEEE777 - 7/12/2009, 9:00 AM
So any picure of a dude standing on top of a stack of other dudes is a conan ripoff? Well then all those pictures of teabag at summer Camp are conan ripoffs I guesse:)

Jojo Risin - 7/12/2009, 9:31 AM
It does look similar, all it needs is some chick on Brad Pitt's leg.
Bandrews1 - 7/12/2009, 9:36 AM
eh i think thats a bit much to make it seem like a copy of it. The idea of standing on dead bodies is not uncommon.
fotc - 7/12/2009, 9:40 AM
I think they all rip off the original cover of the book of David from the Bible.
FateSucks - 7/12/2009, 9:55 AM
Who cares?
SpideyWidey - 7/12/2009, 11:12 AM
The only thing i ripoff superdog are my thongs....and you dam well know that................

book of David, chapter 3, revelation 12th...." Upon the wrath of fate thy rip of thong be my lord"
teabag - 7/12/2009, 11:12 AM
i cant wait for this movie, tarantino is by far one of my favorite directors, and pulp fiction is like my most favorite movie of all time haha
BOOK552 - 7/12/2009, 1:17 PM
thats gotta be the most overused cliche design for a poster or anything like that i have ever seen. im sure that it was used hundreds of times before conan
JeremyBentham - 7/12/2009, 1:50 PM
The cliche of someone standing on dead bodies, coincidence
Deadpool - 7/12/2009, 1:51 PM
well I guess there promotion isn't going that well since I haven't heard of this film till just now.
Osiris - 7/12/2009, 1:58 PM
this weeks news sucks
Torque - 7/12/2009, 1:59 PM
Osiris seriously???
teabag - 7/12/2009, 2:03 PM
I see no neked hot bitch attached to Brad Pitt leg???

I dont see Brad Pitt with any blood on him or his weapon its just brad pit on top of a mound of Nazi Corpses that are not really mutilated enough.
Hellmont - 7/12/2009, 2:20 PM
osiris, have you not been to the movies in like the passed 6 months?
BOOK552 - 7/12/2009, 2:29 PM
This style of poster has been used for years.
Star wars (original "a new hope" poster)
army of darkness
Clint Eastwood's "the gauntlet"
and many many more

It symbolizes a promise to the audience. This movie is going to kick ass, take names(if it has time), and be flat out epic. An arrogant statement, maybe. but a powerful one at that.
I F#CKING LOVE IT
thesteve13 - 7/12/2009, 3:40 PM
Osiris...really?!?I have been hearing about his movie since last year. Read an EW once in awhile and you might here about good directors and movies every now and again. Lol.

I cannot wait to see this f***ing movie! Tarantino is a master of story telling with action and violence. Plus......KILLING NAZIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RolandOfGilead - 7/12/2009, 4:35 PM
although i am totally stoked for this movie, why is it on front page? the news this week is really lame
BOOK552 - 7/12/2009, 4:45 PM
This movie is gonna kick every other movies ass this year maybe not money wise but quality wise for sure
And yes KILLIN NAZIS!!
SabretoothTiger - 7/12/2009, 5:10 PM
It looks pretty good, but what in th ename of god is pitt doing with his chin! between his mug and Eli Roth being in it, the movie should be called Inglorious retards
Rorschach01 - 7/12/2009, 9:12 PM
@teabag,BOOK552,Roland@ I have but apparently my theater is neglecting to promote it
Osiris - 7/12/2009, 11:09 PM
I am so excited for this flick!
InstigatorGIRL - 7/12/2009, 11:41 PM
Ror perhapse he is drawing insperation from Bruce Forsyth
teabag - 7/13/2009, 2:42 AM
Similar or not, the movie looks like it will be good.
BmanHall - 7/13/2009, 6:12 AM
Pitt's character is a throwback to oldschool war films. the movie is going to be strange - and it's not going to be an action flick either. i'm not going in expecting a Kill Bill bloodbath.

it's on my list though for must see flicks of the year - and it's only cause Tarantino is my fav. director of all time.

in regards to the poster comparison? come on....there's no comparison here dude - and that old sloppy Conan art looks so gross. lol..Jesus that's old and sloppy greaseballs art.
Keven - 7/13/2009, 1:09 PM
i am however relieved that someone finally found a way to sneak in some news Inglorious Basterd related....it was by quite a stretch - but i'm kind of happy it gets some props.
Keven - 7/13/2009, 1:11 PM
Osiris, thats a shame, check out the preview online some where its sweet
BOOK552 - 7/13/2009, 2:11 PM
The basic design has been used MANY times before...

cookfreeordie - 7/13/2009, 3:06 PM

Osiris - 7/13/2009, 4:07 PM
Osiris choose a better word choice, read what you typed out loud and you'll under stand ;) ha
BOOK552 - 7/13/2009, 6:10 PM
lmao..... sorry BOOK I was really tired when I wrote that and didn't catch it..... I wont be doing you BOOK I don't swing that way...lol
Osiris - 7/13/2009, 10:11 PM
Who's swinging where and why am i not envolved??
teabag - 7/14/2009, 3:48 AM
@ Keven...have you not even watched the trailer?!?! It will be a blood bath (in it's own war movie way) and in all it's gory glory I hope! Lol.
RolandOfGilead - 7/14/2009, 10:00 AM
