Okay, I stole that headline from Variety; but it's true, the hugely popular movie star/beacon for flashbulbs has officially signed up to headline Quentin Tarantino's Word War 2 epic Inglorious Bastards. Simon Pegg is currently in talks about taking a role also - Pegg is a mate of the giant headed one, so inclusion should rest on the financial end of his deal. According to Variety, much of the film's dialogue is in French or German, and subtitles will be used, though Pitt will speak English in his role as a Tennessee hillbilly who assembles a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers to take on the Nazis. Tarantino will start filming in mid October, and has vowed the have the finished article ready for Cannes next May.
