And then there were three.
In a casting extravaganza Tarantino proves that he is determined to get Inglorious Bastards a cast. And we can lay to rest all the Brad Pitt rumours. He is in!
Today we get word that Brad Pitt has signed on the dotted line and will star in Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards and joining him in early casting are Eli Roth (director of Hostel) and B.J. Novak (“The Office”, Knocked Up).
Pitt will play a Tennessee hillbilly who assembles a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers. Eli Roth will play the role of Sgt. Donnie Donowitz, and Tarantino is locking in the other seven American actors who make up the Bastards team. Novak is expected to play PFC Utivich, described as a soldier of slight build who comes from New York.
I have to admit, I am not much of a Tarnatino fan. He hits about 50/50 with me, so while I don’t hate him I just don’t get pumped about his films unless I hear some good buzz after it comes out.
So it is saying alot that with Brad Pitt on board combined with that killer premise (who doesnt wanna see rednecks beat up Nazis???) I am starting to look forward to this.
I would be 100% on it with DiCaprio, but Tarantino is seeking a German Actor to play that part.
