Pitt, Novak, and Roth Line Up For Bastards

UPDATE: Funnyman Mike Myers has also been recruited! You can find the details here.
As promised, Quentin Tarantino has definitely not stopped working on his epic WWII film, Inglorious Bastards, ever since he completed the script. After years of speculation concerning casting, a few of the roles have recently been confirmed (finally).
What came as quite a shock to most (considering Tarantino’s usual taste in actors), Hollywood heavyweight Brad Pitt was cast as the lead role of Jewish soldier Aldo Raine. Then again, it is only appropriate that Pitt play a part in a real Tarantino film, considering he had a minor role in Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers.

Olive Stone and Woody Harrelson Re-Team
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: MGM, Drama, Casting, Celeb News,
When Woody Harrelson snagged the highly publicized role in Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers, Harrelson’s acting creds were hardly up to par. He’d appeared in a well-loved comedy TV series and a lighthearted basketball comedy, hardly roles that displayed his chops to play the murder-loving, law-breaking, hardcore killer that has now become a screen cultural icon. Stone said at the time that he saw murder in Harrelson’s eyes, a strange comment to make considering the actor’s father was serving a prison sentence.
Now, Stone is giving Harrelson another role in the gritty Vietnam War drama Pinkville. The United Artists flick will focus on the 1968 My Lai Massacre, where 500 people were killed by U.S. soldiers. Harrelson’s role is Col. Henderson, the officer leading the task force who committed the massacre. Pinkville won’t be Stone’s first foray into the Vietnam War, and he’ll direct a star-studded cast in the flick. Production is scheduled to start next year.
