"Inglorious Bastards" is Quentin Tarantino’s next
movie and Eli Roth, the director of “Hostel”, is among the actors who will star
in it. Tarantino’s movie is about World War II and Roth is to play Sergent Donnie Donowitz, a not so normal
Nazi enemy, described as a "baseball bat-swinging Nazi hunter".
Rumor has it that Leonardo Di Caprio was eyed for the bad
guy’s part, the role of SS Col. Hans Landa, but it seems he changed his mind
and decided to give the role to a German actor.
The second rumor is about Brad Pitt, who may star as Aldo
Raine, the leader of the band of Jewish U.S. soldiers who are out to get some
Nazis killed.
Roth acted for Tarantino before, having played a small role
in “Death Proof”, his half of “Grindhouse”.
Filming should begin in autumn so the casting is expected to be
finalized soon.
Tarantino's other film credits include "Reservoir
Dogs," "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill." This will be
the director's sixth major feature.
The filmmaker completed his latest screenplay last week
after several years of writing.
"I don't want it to feel like a period film. I want it
to feel current. I want it to feel right now. One of the things I have to
battle against is 30 years of Nazi-occupation TV movies where we've all seen
the big streets and the vintage cars and the Swastikas, and we've just seen
that ad nauseum. This is a modern, in-your-face movie. This is not a TV movie
period piece," Tarantino said.
