THE JEW HUNTER HAS BEEN CAST !
They start wars over women like her.
A quick update. I’ve been going in 10 different directions this week, working on my man Tim Hyten’s new film, writing my feature (27 pages in, stay on target!) and the usual partying and hanging with the hottest chick on the planet.
Variety has reported that Quentin Tarantino has found his Jew Hunter, Col. Hans Landa, for “Inglorious Bastards” in 51-year-old German TV actor Christoph Waltz and the character of German movie star turned Allied Spy, Bridget Von Hammersmark, will not be filled by Nasstasja Kinski (which I welcomed but felt perhaps too old) but will be played by the hot blond from Troy Diane Kruger.
With shooting to begin in less than two weeks for a 2009 Cannes premiere, roles yet cast include Shoshanna Dreyfus, her projectionist friend Marcel, the German-born maniac Bastard Stiglitz and the wily Gestapo major Deiter Hellstrom.
The Cast so far:
Brad Pitt as Lt. Aldo Raine, a hillbilly from Tennessee who puts together a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers.
Mike Myers as Gen. Ed Fenech, a British “military mastermind” who provides a plot to kill Nazi leadership.
Eli Roth as Sgt. Donnie Donowitz, “a baseball bat-swinging Nazi hunter”.
German TV Star about to go Mainstream.
Christoph Waltz as Col. Hans Landa, a Nazi officer nicknamed the “Jew Hunter” in reference to his keen ability to locate Jews hiding throughout France.
Diane Kruger as Bridget Von Hammersmark.
Michael Fassbender (From 300) British officer Archie Hicox, orignally intended for Simon Pegg (I’m totally bummed about this one.)
Daniel Brühl in a yet, unidentified role.
Paul Rust in a yet, unidentified role.
Tarantino is also in talks with B. J. Novak to portray PFC Utivich, a soldier that hails from New York, David Krumholtz to portray a member of Raine’s team.
Can’t wait, Can’t wait, Can’t wait.

Fine
Variety has broken the news that Nastassja Kinski (”Cat People,” “Inland Empire” and guilty pleasure “Terminal Velocity”) is rumoured by Variety to be in talks to play the key role of German movie star turned Allie Bridget Von Hammersmark in Quentin Tarantino’s World War II epic “Inglorious Bastards”.
I love Nastassja, the daughter of the late German actor Klaus Kinski, in everything I see her in. She is hot and has talent. Not who I pictured in the role. I would have gone with Carice van Houten (”Black Book”) in her brunette nativity. I’m fairly certain Quentin has it all together, have we ever seen him miscast anyone ? No.
I’d throw my Black Book away.
David Krumholtz (”Superbad”) is in talks to play a member of Aldo Raine’s Jewish-American Nazi-killing squad and, the best news yet for me, Simon Pegg (”Shaun of the Dead”, “Hot Fuzz” and “Star Trek 09″) is up for Lt. Archie Hicox, the British officer who helps the Bastard’s mission in Nazi-occupied Europe. Originally rumoured to be for Tim Roth, but Roth is currently busy with FAUX Network obligations.
Officially ? Brad Pitt is aboard the project as Aldo Raine as is writer/director/actor Eli Roth (”Grindhosue”).
B.J. Novak (”The Office”) is in discussion to play Basterd soldier, Private Utivich.
And if you’ve yet to read the script, you can get it here.
Pitt and Leo Basterd brothers ?
Variety reported this following Tuesday (I was busy at the races) that Tarantino wants DiCaprio to play the role of Hans Landa. Who is Hans Landa ? Did you not read the script located RIGHT HERE ? He is just the baddest Nazi SS Gestapo ‘The Jew Hunter’ around and one the meatier roles in the script. I love the idea of Leo involved in this.
