Brad Pitt has joined the cast for Tarantino’s next film – a remake of Inglorious Bastards – as Lt. Aldo Raine who “leads a band of soldiers as they seek vengeance on Nazis in German-occupied France.” The synopsis for Inglorious Bastards is as follows:
A band of US soldiers facing death by firing squad for their misdeeds are given a chance to save themselves – by heading into the perilous no-man’s lands of Nazi-occupied France on a suicide mission for the Allies.
Shooting will begin in October and should be in theaters by June, 2009.
Perhaps even more exciting than Pitt starring in a Tarantino film is the fact that Simon Pegg (Shawn of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) “is in talks to join the cast.”
so apparently mike myers was just cast??? and now adam sandler is in negotiations? hmm…
Myers? Sandler? really. This intrigues me.

for a while leonardo dicaprio was attached to star opposite pitt, but tarantino decided to go with a “german speaking” actor instead, apparently.
also, i’ve read the first bit of the script, and this movie’s going to be insane. like crazy-awesome.
