Brad Pitt joins the cast of Quentin Tarantino’s INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS

It’s official now, Brad Pitt has joined the cast of Quentin Tarantino’s INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS (Not Inglorious Bastards, ha!). He will play Lt. Aldo Raine, “the head of the Jewish resistance in the auteur’s World War II film.”
In addition, Simon Pegg is now in negotiation to join the cast as well.
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.
Other cast members so far include Eli Roth and B.J. Novak.
