It seems to be official now – according to Variety, Brad Pitt has officially signed on to play a role in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards.
Hang on. I have to go breathe into a paper bag. Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino. This makes me SO HAPPY.
Okay, all better now.
According to the article, most of the movie will be in French or German with subtitles; however, Brad will still speak English, playing a “Tennessee hillbilly who assembles a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers to take on the Nazis”.
There had been rumors that Leonardo DiCaprio would be cast in a role as well, though there is no mention of it now; he may have had scheduling conflicts. Casting is predicted to be finished within the next couple of weeks.
Because of the location of the film itself, it makes sense for Brad to choose to take on this role. By the time actual filming gets started, the babies will be a bit older and filming will be done nearby, in parts of France and Germany, so hopefully the Jolie-Pitt family will be able to remain at the chateau.
(Thanks, Ligaya, for the heads’ up!)

That’s truly sad, Chevjuls. I liked him a lot. Didn’t know he was sick.

Maybe the biggest stroke of genius is who he’s chosing — or, more precisely, how diversely he’s choosing. The cast offers something for everyone. Even on this partial list, there’s young and old, dramatic and comedic, quirky and hot, cult and mega-famous. You want to tune in just to see how much of a non-sequitir the next casting choice will be.
Good morning to all, a little sad news co-star of ocean twelve Bernie Mac pass away this morning in a chicago hospital.
i’ve never seen a war movie w/ brad and i’ve seen most of his movies. i’m sooo excited cuz this will be challenging for him and knowing brangelina they love challenges! brad is a great actor. he’s soo passionate w/ his craft so hopefully this movie will be an oscar nod. i thank God for continously blessing the BAMPZSKV family. more power and God bless to all the loyal jp fans around the globe!
Hello everyone! I’m so excited with his new movie, I think he’ll be great and I’m glad I will not have to watch this movie all by myself like I usually do:(, because for certain my hubby will want to watch it too because he loves WWII movies.
I love Brad and I like Quentin…this should be a good team-up. If Leo is part of it too, then great, because I like him too. I’m really intrigued by this movie. :) Hello to all JP fans around the world. There are very many of us, aren’t there.
Gena, that was so cute that clip. “I’d be glad to help her” on AJ with Z’s hair
On Brad being in a war movie. “Legends of the fall” at the begining, at least, was a war movie. The scene where he’s in a ditch, smoking a cig w/
Samuel. Then seeing his brother caught in barbwire and getting shot. It was emotional for me whe he goes in this trans like state and cuts Samuel’s heart out to take back to his father.
I not it’s not quite the war movie but I get your gist
Ligaya, hi! (waving)… sorry for the late reply, i was getting some rest. I love that idea of JP convention and the Pittwatch reunion but i think that would be difficult because it seems that we here in PW are scattered all over the globe. :) but i’m still hoping though that i’d be able to see your scrapbook.
Yay. i can’t wait for this movie.
thanks for the link Gena.
i’m looking forward to see this movie!:)
gena, thanks for the link to taraji’s interview. nice.:)
IMDB has a thread with the People layout. Look at Brads page at the very bottom under Magazine scan.
Angie and Brad’s new best friend, Taraji.

Really a cute interview!
In response to your post on Angelina and the agent/script issue:
In other words, Angie RULES : )
Movie Biz 101: Not only does Angelina not have a publicist, she doesn’t have an agent.

No representation has risks, rewards
“I think it’s very important and incredibly valuable to have an agency behind you,” says Jolie’s longtime manager Geyer Kosinski (and onetime agent), noting that she is an exception to the rule.
In fact, Jolie is an unusual case, at least among actresses, because filmmakers develop and write projects specifically for her — a rarity for female thesps who thus benefit from being part of a large agency and seeing material earlier than they would otherwise. Studios are even willing to tweak screenplays written for male actors between the ages of 25 and 40 and develop them as Jolie vehicles, in an effort to entice the actress.
Additionally, Jolie, who has been agentless since 1997 (with the exception of a three-month stint with CAA), is only interested in acting in one project a year — limiting the need for an agent.
I think it will be a challenge for Brad, and that he’ll rise to it. Someone posted that he’d never been in a war movie before. It strikes me that Brad doesn’t look typically Jewish (unless his hair is dyed dark), but then neither did Paul Newman in Exodus.
I hope that it’s a role that will show off his great acting skills.
oh that is a wise move for BRAD accepting this role knowing they will be in france for a while. see guys, this lovely couple think about their children safety first. they both knows, that it won;t be a smart move for the twins to travel that early, so making a movie in a place where they are at now is a very very good choice. by the time the movie is finish the twins might be start walking.HAVE A VERY VERY NICE DAY TO ALL THE LOVELY JOLIE-PITT FANS. YOU ARE ALL GOOD AND HONEST HUMAN BEING.
Oh ok, that makes sense!
According to German News filming will be startet on October 31st in Germany and the movie will bei presented in Cannes next year!
:-)
Oh, boy! Another red carpet appearance! (I’m looking forward to the movie too. ;-) )
dont worry lola its rain drops :)
