Inglorious Bastards Set For October Start

It looks like Inglorious Bastards is ready to rollout! We get news today that the much anticipated Tarantino actioner will start to shoot in sombre October. A big thank you to our friends at comingsoon for the following scoop:

Quentin Tarantino is once again teaming with The Weinstein Company as he readies Inglorious Bastards for an October shoot, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The writer/director is reteaming with the Weinsteins for his long-gestating World War II action tale about a Dirty Dozen-like group of soldiers behind enemy lines. The Weinstein Company will co-finance the film, distribute it domestically and oversee production and worldwide marketing.

In related news, Deadline Hollywood Daily has learned that Tarantino is talking to Brad Pitt about playing a role in the film.

The article goes on to say that the project will be fast tracked in order to make the cut for Cannes! I have been very excited about this project since I heard the first rumblings about it. A Tarantino war movie is something that I have high hopes for, and as I have previously mentioned – I am very stoked that it will be in the vein of The Dirty Dozen.

Having Brad Pitt on board is A-OK with me. Tarantino talked a few years ago about getting Arnold, Sly and Willis on board this project. If he can nab a few (or all) of these dudes, I would scream to the winds in triumph! The Governator no doubt may have other responsibilities, but If Bruce Willis and Stallone can hop aboard this train with Brad Pitt – that would still be an ocean of awesome.

We will be sure to shoot any updates your way, and keep you abreast of Bastards progress!
