WARNER BROS. RECORDS TO RELEASE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK TO QUENTIN TARANTINO’S ‘INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS’

Acclaimed writer and film director Quentin Tarantino and Warner Bros. Records will join forces to release the original soundtrack to Tarantino’s upcoming film Inglourious Basterds on August 18th – three days before the highly anticipated film hits theaters nationwide on August 21st.

As evidenced by the eclectic soundtracks to such previous films as Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill, Tarantino is a huge music fan and treats music as an important character in each of his films. Though Tarantino is loathe to reveal details about what specific songs will be included on the soundtrack, preferring to keep it a surprise for the audience, Tarantino’s longtime music director Mary Ramos says that the Inglourious Basterds soundtrack is similar to Kill Bill in that “it features Quentin-style ‘deep cuts’ – tracks that record company vaults don’t even have. And because the film centers around a cinema, it will include songs from Nazi-era German screwball comedies and some of the coolest score cuts that have been meticulously chosen from films you’ve most likely never heard of but will want to Netflix right away!”
