On August 21, Brad Pitt gives audiences an idea of what life as an Inglourious Basterd is like.

In the meantime, we'll have to settle for various shots of Pitt in the role of Aldo Raine, such as the following images of the actor on a new poster for the movie. Enjoy:

Meanwhile, based on a few trailers and clips, we've collected the following Inglourious Basterds quotes:

Lt. Aldo Raine: I need to know about Germans hiding in trees. And you need to tell me right now.
Sgt. Werner Rachtman: I respectfully refuse, sir.
Lt. Aldo Raine: Actually, Werner, we're all tickled to hear you say that. Quite frankly, watching Donny beat Nazi's to death is the closest we ever get to going to the movies. | permalink

Lt. Aldo Raine: If you ever wanna eat a Sauerkraut sandwich again take your Wiener Schnitzel lickin' finger and point out on this map what I wanna know. | permalink

Lt. Aldo Raine: Each and every man under my command owes me one hundred Nazi scalps... and I want my scalps! | permalink

The cast of Valentine's Day just got a lot McDreamier and a decent amount McSteamier.

Patrick Dempsey and Eric Dane have joined the ensemble comedy, which already features Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Shirley MacLaine, Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher, Topher Grace, Emma Roberts and Hector Elizondo.

Garry Marshall is directing the movie - which follows five interconnecting stories playing out during Valentine's Day - is scheduled for a February 12, 2010 release.

Dempsey will portray a married obstetrician dating Garner's character on the side; his Grey's Anatomy co-star, Dane, will take on the role of a quarterback struggling over the decision of whether or not to retire.

Get ready to scream with excitement, teenage readers:

The Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato will team up again in a sequel to Camp Rock, the Disney Channel hit from June 2008.

Look for Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam to begin production this summer and debut next year on the same network.

In it, the characters played by Lovato and Kevin, Nick and Joe Jonas return to Camp Rock, only to discover that many of the students and instructors have ditched it for nearby rival Camp Star. Uh-oh!

Other actors returning for the sequel include: Meaghan Jette Martin, Maria Canals-Barrera and Alyson Stoner.

He's more than just a superhero.

Tobey Maguire will star in The Details, a black comedy that was originally a project for James McAvoy. But, according to Variety, the actor had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict.

Maguire joins Elizabeth Banks in the movie, which focuses on a struggling married couple that sees their lives further distressed by ravenous raccoons burrowing under the sod in their back yard. As you might expect, this causes more problems between the pair.

Ray Liotta, Dennis Haysbert, Laura Linney and Anna Friel round out the great cast of The Details. It will start shooting in September, prior to Maguire's turn in Spider-Man 4.

While most Saturday Night Live characters that attempt to make the leap to the big screen go down in flames (let's not even talk about It's Pat), this is one transition we're excited for:

A MacGruber movie is on the way!

Will Forte will co-write the film version of his bumbling spy, while  Kristen Wiig will reprise her role as Vicki for the feature. Val Kilmer and Ryan Phillippe are in talks to join the cast.

Forte debuted the parody of the 1980s action-adventure series MacGyver in 2007. The character was used in a Super Bowl ad for Pepsi in 2009. Dude is hilarious.

I Love You, Beth Cooper is a PG-13 movie about a geeky valedictorian that proclaims his love for the most popular girl in school, Beth Cooper (Hayden Panettiere), during his graduation speech.

Based on that description, we had our doubts when reports surfaced online about the actress getting nude on screen.

While Panettiere says she was "really naked" during the locker room scene in question, viewers won't see anything but a bare back. Trust us. We've seen a screeing of the film and the following still images represent the most skin you'll see from Hayden.

Sorry, fellas.

I killed Sirius Black! I killed Sirius Black!

So taunts Bellatrix Lestrange in the following clip from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Having finally exhausted the Ocean's 11 franchise, word around Hollywood is that George Clooney might be interested in following in Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck's shoes.

The actor often takes on at least one commercial vehicle in exchange for anchoring smaller, more personal projects.

As first reported by The Daily Beast, this career path may lead him into the Tom Clancy-create role of Jack Ryan. The website reports:

A source says [Clooney] expressed interest in playing Jack Ryan when and if Paramount attempts to revive the Tom Clancy series. Clooney seems to recognize that at this time in the world and this time in his life (he's pushing 50), it's time for some commercial maintenance.

Peter Krause has rounded out the cast of Beastly.

The actor joins Mary-Kate Olsen, Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens in this big screen adaptation of the famous fairy tale. Shooting is underway in Montreal, as the film is billed a a retelling of Beauty and the Beast.

Krause rose to fame on Six Feet Under. He's starring this fall on NBC's Parenthood.

If you haven't build up enough relationship capital to get out of seeing at least one chick flick this summer, fellas, you could do worse than Julie & Julia.

The movie is based on a pair of true stories: one of famous chef Julia Child; the other of a secretary named Julie Powell, who made it her mission to complete Child's best-selling cookbook in one year.

Starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams, the film opens on August 7. Enjoy this preview for it:
