Quentin Tarantino has signed his first cast member for his film Inglorious Bastards, and its horror helmer Eli Roth (Hostel). According to Variety, Roth will play a "baseball bat-swinging Nazi hunter" in the film. Brad Pitt is in talks to play Aldo Raine, leader of a rogue band of Jewish-American soldiers who wreak havoc on the bad guys in Nazi-occupied France. The likes of Adam Sandler and Michael Madsen have also been linked with roles, but Sandler will start shooting Funny People in September and then spend time with his newborn, which is due in the next few months.
