This artwork is based on the world known 2009 Tarantino movie Inglourious Basterds with actors such as Brad Pitt and Christoph Waltz. The movie’s production team came up with the idea to cooperate with Upper Playground and create these different illustrations that’s representing the movie. Inglourious Basterds has won several prices including the Golden Globe, BAFTA award and Best Actor Award. The film was planned in 1998, but Tarantino couldn’t find the perfect ending so he worked with other projects while getting inspiration and finishing it in 2008.
It was filmed in Germany with a production budget of $70 million, but still it earned a lot more, over $320 million. The images are all made by illustrators like Alex Pardee, David Choe and Sam Flores among others. They are really giving that raw impression and mood that the movie gives, because of the blood and the grotesque scenes. Illustrations have also been the work of an Italian cartoonist who has illustrated how superheroes would look like when they get old.
