Yesterday, IGN reported via The Hollywood Reporter that Brad Pitt had officially signed on to play the lead role in Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards.

But according to Variety, several other key roles are also in the process of being filled -- this time by the likes of Simon Pegg, Nastassja Kinski, and David Krumholtz.

Pitt is set to play a Tennessee hillbilly who puts together a group of Jewish-American soldiers to attack Nazis during WWII. Pegg (whom audiences previously saw in Edgar Wright's Hot Fuzz, as well as the romantic comedy Run Fat Boy Run) might play a British lieutenant, while Krumholtz would join the previously-announced Eli Roth and B.J. Novak as another one of Pitt's foot soldiers.

Kinski is in talks for one of the film's very few female roles, a German movie queen.

Tarantino's film borrows its title from Enzo Castellari's 1970s war film of the same name, but uses it as a jumping off point to explore his own love of exploitation and war movies.

i have been waiting for this for YEARS..... i can't wait... QT has never let me down
what are you guys' thoughts on HELLRIDE.... i want to see that too, i know QT is just presenting it... but it's got a lot of his guys in it.. and the trailer looked pretty dope..

I can't stand him either.

seriously, if I was locked in a room with a gun, two bullets and both uwe boll and quentin tarantino. I'd shoot tarantino twice to make sure he's really dead.

Mike Myers has been recruited by Quentin Tarantino to join the ensemble cast of "Inglorious Bastards," the Tarantino-scripted pic that the Weinstein Co. and Universal will put into production Oct. 13 in Germany.

Myers will play British Gen. Ed Fenech, a military mastermind who takes part in hatching a plot to wipe out Nazi leaders.

Brad Pitt recently committed to star in the film, along with Eli Roth, and Tarantino is also courting Simon Pegg, Nastassja Kinski, David Krumholtz and B.J. Novak.

I'm sold....

Simon Pegg has had to withdraw from Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Bastards".

The Brit comic announced the news on his MySpace page, blaming a scheduling conflict.

''Much to our mutual disappointment, I won't be appearing in QT's forthcoming Inglorious Bastards due to insurmountable scheduling difficulties. We really tried to make it work but in the end, it just was not possible without severe ramifications elsewhere. I'm trying to remain upbeat, as Tom Selleck said "Who the hell is Indiana Jones anyway?""

So, ah, that leaves, erm, Mike Myers as the film's only light relief?


:rolleyes:

I don't care anymore.
