I've heard rumors of some well known action stars having roles in this, I guess they'll be relegated to cameos. Is it a budget thing?

I'm just not nearly as excited for this as Tarantino's past films. Probably because Death Proof turned out to be utter crap...
So...is Brad Pitt Jewish? I'm just curious.

BJ Novak and Eli Roth

12:54:18 AM
Wow, can't even get TIM Roth? After reading the subpar script (Inglorious Bastards?!?! They have ONE scene in the first 85 pages, the rest is about a Jewish girl planning revenge. Ugh.) I thought the only thing that could save it was a good cast.

Good thing QT is good at rewriting history now, cause that's where his career and talent are.

has actually written some of the best Office episodes. He scribed the "Sexual Harrasment" episode which is fuckin' hillarious. "Who has two thumbs and bones your mother. This guy!" He seems pretty one-dimensional as far as his acting go, but I could be wrong.
Eli Roth
by JimBobCooter
Aug 7th, 2008
01:33:01 AM
I'm still in shock. He is TERRIBLE even in his one-note cameos. I really just don't understand.

I'm probably biased b/c I think he's overrated as a writer/director... but seriously.

I honestly don't think I can sit through his smirky mug, over-acting as he "channels rage."

I really don't know what to think at this point

I thought the "Bear Jew" Donny Donowitz was a big motherfucker, and they cast Eli Roth?? Now some dude from the American version of a much better British comedy is gonna be Utvich?? Well, I liked the script so maybe it'll still rock. Gotta get Pitt and DiCaprio. To all you haters that don't like that idea, you will eat your words Ledger-style if and when it goes down. Leo as Col. Landa would FUCKING RULE! Oh, and fuck these Pineapple Express haters. You all fucking suck.
The title Inglorious Bastards *spoilers*
by kungfuhustler84
Aug 7th, 2008
02:46:06 AM
Maybe it is about more than just the guys that call themselves the Bastards. I'm just going out on a limb here, and it's certainly possible that I could be totally wrong/talking directly out of my ass with the magic of fart-speak, but the title could have more to it. The script's title to me seems to refer to those who seek retribution through vengeance, and those who would take terrible action in order to attain that goal. Now when I say, "those who seek vengeance" of course I am referring to the squad of Jewish soldiers wanting vengeance on the Nazi party for their terrible crimes against the European Jewish community, but I am also referring to the French girl in the script who burns all those people to death in the theatre. Their actions are both inglorious, and really kind of makes them bastards too (hmmmm).

Tarantino makes a point of making that German hero soldier seem like he's actually a pretty nice guy. However Shosanna is too blinded by her rage against the entire Nazi party that she still kills him anyway. In the bar, the German soldiers celebrating together are all very human and certainly do not seem evil. One Nazi is celebrating the birth of his son. This man's death reads as almost tragic in the script and really emphasizes the message Tarantino may or may not be implying: that taking a life is never glorious. It is tragic. This message really made me wonder if what the Bastards are doing is really righteous in any manner, or if they are really just as bad as the Nazis.

Now I know most of you will probably just say I am looking into it too much, and the script really isn't that good. I personally think Tarantino has talent and the current Bastards script really deserves more insight than simply, "QT sucks balls and this movie is gonna blow bloated purple donkey dick!" In Kill Bill he showed us that nearly everyone has the capacity for evil. Pai Mei was one wicked fucker, Bill took vengeance and ruined the Bride's life forever, Budd who seemed pretty cool at first, mercilessly buried the Bride alive, the Bride separated a daughter from her mother at a very young age (Vernita Green), hell, even the little girl stepped on her gold fish. Perhaps this film is an extension of that theme of innate evil in all man.

Okay I will chill out now. I originally began writing this because it bothered me that people were complaining that the "Bastards" weren't even in the script that much and I thought they may have missed the point. I'm just trying to give you guys something else to consider before you get all angry. I'm planning on seeing the movie regardless of odd casting decisions and I really hope it's better. However, (ahem) it really wouldn't hurt if the Bastards had some more play time on the screen in my opinion.

and as far as casting goes

I think a bunch of unrecognizable new people would be much better than people we are all sorta kinda familar with. Either go entirely with big names or entirely without them Brad Pitt is gonna look fucking weird marching around with Ryan from the Office and Eli Roth from...that one scene in Death Proof? Fuck!

I gotta great idea QT. Steve Carell as Landa? Why not? It will be funny! HA! HA! HA! (Kungfuhustler retreats into the corner to cry to himself until he finally rocks his strained body into a shaky, sweaty, disturbed sleep.)

This movie will be cool but

No matter what, it will still be cool to see Nazi-ass-kicking Tarantino style. But I would prefer if it were a diverse bunch instead of all Jews. That way it will be at least be a little more of an homage to the original (and to Dirty Dozen), and you could have the different personalities/backgrounds playing off each other. It's starting to sound like Defiance or Uprising or Schindler's List meets Kill Bill and Hostel. B.J. Novak is ok but Eli Roth is a douchebag.

Cheech as Hitler? That might make this worth seeing. QT is beginning to sound like the kid who claimed to have all the cool toys (the giant GI Joe aircraft carrier, or the Star Destroyer playset), but when you finally came over told you that some other friend had, um, "borrowed" them.
WhinyNegative - Pitt doesn't make much sense either...
by wookie1972
Aug 7th, 2008
07:04:10 AM
Of course, the whole Aldo Raine character doesn't make any sense either. Is he supposed to be a Jew from Tennessee? But casting Pitt is one of those let's-throw-a-star-at-the-role moves like casting Robert Redford in the Graduate or Ryan O'Neill as Michael Corleone. In other words, it's something an idiot studio head would suggest 40 years ago, not a director who is supposed to be the best of his generation.
Ohhh, so Novak wrote for the office too . . .

. . . I wondered why such a boring as hell, flat character got so much spotlight and then was promoted to the exec level w/ even more screentime. At least he got a little more interesting when he started becoming a coked up prick.

Roth ain't right for this or anything else for that matter. The only time I liked Eli Roth in anything is when he got shot in Southland Tales while taking a shit. He was terrible and extremely annoying in Deathproof. Novak might be good, but this is definitely not the movie Tarantino was talking about for years anymore. And yes the last season of The Office sucked.

I definitely enjoyed reading it and definitely look forward to the film. I'm not familiar with this guy from the Office, so I can't comment on that. But I'm not too bothered by the Roth casting, since from what I read, it seems the role of Donnie doesn't need any amazing acting ability. He just needs to be able to swing a baseball bat well. And when Quentin was talking about getting all these big name stars for this movie, he was talking out of his ass. He never talked to anyone about doing it. But I thought that was obvious from the start.
Good for Novak...

I remember a few years ago names like Stallone and Willis were being banded about but now we have Eli Roth and some dude from "The Office" Whoop de fuckin doo. I am not convinced. Brad Pitt seems a strange choice for a leader of a Jewish fighting squad. In fact the plot sounds a bit ropey to me.

this movie is already screwed. I've read this script and liked it a lot. One of the characters that I thought people would really dig was Donnie Donowitz. This guy is a bad ass with a bat, and helping his people in the neighborhood get revenge for the family and friends they might have lost to the Nazi. And Tarantino casts Eli Roth? Eli Roth is a douchebag okay people. His movies suck and he is possible the worlds WORST actor. I wouldn't even call him an actor cause that would be insulting actors around the world. I liked Death Proof. worst part about it? Eli Roth. the guys a joke. I don't know why Tarantino has such a hard on for this jack ass, but if I was Brad Pitt I would not want to share screen time with this no talent ass clown. With such a great script, I don't know why he wouldn't want to fill the film with great actors. What a downer!

Thanks for the compliment. What I should have said, however, instead of the Star Destroyer Playset, was the legendary Boba Fett with real firing rocket. I've heard several people claim that they either had one or saw one, but nobody did.
