Inglorious Bastards

So Quentin Tarantino has been working for years on a war film based in Nazi Germany called Inglorious Bastards. He's dubbed the script far and away the best thing he has ever written. I'm excited.

The movie has been in the works for a long time, but within the past couple of months things have started to get moving. Perhaps the most bizarre developments to emerge every couple of weeks have been hearing the names of actors that have become attached to the project. If you've seen your share of QT flicks, you'll know that he is someone who places much importance on the actor that is being cast - their acting ability as well as their aura of celebrity. So, with this in mind, the list of actors so far said to be attached to Inglorius Bastards are especially interesting. Check out how random (and potentially brilliant) some of these choices are:

BJ Novak of The Office


Mike Myers of 54 and So I Married An Axe Murderer


Brad Pitt of Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas


Apparently Simon Pegg was set to be attached (who is apparently Hollywood's new British Steve Carrell...look at this friggin picture):


But because of scheduling stuff, QT has apparently recruited the annoyingly quippy Samm Levine who was one of the younger nerds in Freaks & Geeks and something in Not Another Teen Movie.
