Quentin Tarantino may have found his first Inglorious Bastard in the shape of horror director Eli Roth.
According to Variety, the Hostel helmer is in talks to play Nazi-hunter Sgt. Donnie Donowitz -- a role that should suit the Red Sox-loving Roth well as the character's weapon of choice is a baseball bat.
As previously reported, Brad Pitt is the current favourite to play leader of the men on a WWII mission Aldo Raine, although Tarantino has reportedly decided to cast a German actor as SS Col. Hans Landa, a role originally ear-marked for Leonardo DiCaprio.
Inglorious Bastards is set to shoot later this year, with The Weinstein Co. and Universal Pictures overseeing.
