The Weinstein Company and Universal Pictures announced today that Quentin Tarantino’s Nazi-scalping, Brad Pitt-starring, World War II epic Inglourious Basterds — which, yes, taking an English-mangling cue from The Pursuit of Happyness, will actually be spelled like that — will open domestically on August 21, 2009. The announcement was made by Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of TWC and David Linde, co-chairman of Universal Pictures, who are partners in the production. The Weinstein Company and Universal are co-financing and co-presenting the film, with TWC handling domestic distribution and Universal handling international distribution. International release dates are still being sorted out.
