Brad Pitt, Simon Pegg are also both ‘Bastards’
August 8, 2008
Brad Pitt officially has gone inglorious. The actor has joined the cast of Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Bastards,” signing on to play Lt. Aldo Raine, the head of the Jewish resistance in the auteur’s World War II film. Additionally, Simon Pegg is in discussions to join the cast. David Krumholtz has an offer but may have a scheduling problem. Nastassja Kinski is meeting with Tarantino for the part of a German actress.
Pitt’s character is a Southern rebel who leads a band of eight Jewish American soldiers as they exact vengeance on Nazis in German-occupied France.
Pegg would play a British lieutenant. Krumholtz’s part would be that of a member of Pitt’s team.
Producer Lawrence Bender said the alchemy of Pitt and Tarantino, who have never worked together as actor and director, will yield unique results. “They’re going to push each other and really help make something special,” he said.
