Every day another news about INGLRIOUS BASTARDS. According to the SIMON PEGG BLOG on MySpace, PEGG will not be part of QUENTIN TARANTINOS WWII flick. Here is what he wrote:
Much to our mutual disappointment, I won't be appearing in QT's forthcoming Inglorious Bastards due to insurmountable scheduling difficulties. We really tried to make it work but in the end, it just was not possible without severe ramifications elsewhere.
I'm trying to remain upbeat, as Tom Selleck said "Who the hell is Indiana Jones anyway?"

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.
LOST creator JJ. ABRAMS is currently working on the new STAR TREK movie that's hitting the big screen in May 2009. Though I'm not a big fan of the STAR TREK franchise, I have to admit that the new cast kinda got me going: SIMON PEGG (HOT FUZZ, SHAUN OF THE DEAD) as Scotty, JOHN CHO (HAROLD & KUMAR) as Sulu or ZACHARY QUINTO ("SYLAR" from HEROES) as Spock. Talking about Spock. Check out the new teaser posters that have just been reveiled. QUINTO is fucking LEONARD NIMOY. I can't tell the difference between 'em.
