SMAC - SHOWS, MOVIES & CHICKS

BRAD PITT has officially signed on to star in QUENTIN TARANTINOS WWII drama INGLORIOUS BASTARDS, reports Variety.
While PITT is confirmed to play Lieutenant Aldo Raine, a Tennessee hillbilly who assembles a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers to take on the Nazis, several other names of people to star in the movie are coming up. It seems like NASTASSJA KINSKI is in talks to play one of the sole female roles in the film.
SIMON PEGG (HOT FUZZ, SHAUN OF THE DEAD), DAVID KRUMHOLTZ ("GOLDSTEIN" in the HAROLD & KUMAR flicks) and B.J. NOVAK (THE OFFICE - US) are in talks to join the cast and play PITTS underlings.
Also several german sources, like Der Tagesspiegel, report that german actors DANIEL BRÜHL (GOOD BYE LENIN) and TIL SCHWEIGER (KEINOHRHASEN) met TARANTINO in Berlin to talk about possible roles.

Shooting of "BASTARDS" will begin in Germany in October and Tarantino hopes to have the picture ready for next year's Cannes Film Festival in France, according to Daily Variety.
