Brad Pitt Premiers Basterds In Berlin
Tuesday, July 28th, 2009
Brad Pitt managed to sneak out of town to the Berlin premiere of Inglourious Basterds. According to OK!, Brad gave the slip to the hoard of photographers that hang out in front the family’s California home. Apparently Brad slipped out of of his house by “lying in the back of a staffer’s car” while a shiny new motorcycle was delivered to his home. The paps were busy snapping photos of the bike while Brad was whisked to the airport.
Dad Brad is expected to be back in the United States by tomorrow.
Brad wore Tom Ford to the premiere. (He’s dressed more casually at the photo call pictures.)
As usual, he spent “loads of time signing autographs” for the fans.
Here’s the official Basterds synopsis:
In the first year of the German occupation of France, Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema.
Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish American soldiers to perform swift, shocking acts of retribution. Later known to their enemy as “the basterds,” Raine’s squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget von Hammersmark (Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of the Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquis, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own….
The next premier is set for Hollywood on Aug. 10. The wide release date is August 21.
