Who knew a Nazi-scalper could be so sexy?!

Quentin Tarantino cast Brad in Inglorious Basterds (intentional misspelling) as one of a maverick group of US soldiers who scalped Nazis during WWII and they're filming now, just outside of Berlin -- and this is our first look!

Pitt plays Lt. Aldo Raine, as one of the specially-chosen crew designed to spread fear throughout the Third Reich.

In fact, the studios where the cast and crew are filming has historic significance -- the Babelsberg Studios were used to film Nazi propaganda films during the war. And then for the same purpose by Communist East Germany after the war.

The film will also be shot in Pitt's adopted home country of France :)
