TALKING TO THE TODAY SHOW:

From the AP:
CANNES, France - Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt have spun some revisionist history on how World War II ended.

Their war saga "Inglourious Basterds" premiered Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival, presenting a band of Jewish Allied soldiers led by Pitt who play a pivotal role in taking down the Third Reich with a strategic strike against the top Nazi brass.

"It was definitely outrageous, which I'm always game for," Pitt said of Tarantino's rewrite of the history books.

The band's exploits culminate in a bloodbath at the premiere of a Nazi propaganda film in Paris as Pitt's commandos exact savage revenge for Adolf Hitler's genocide against the Jews.
