Quentin Tarantino’s long-waited script for his WWII action drama, Inglorious Bastards, was finally sent out to four major Hollywood studios yesterday. The script, which was originally slated to be an actual movie by 2001, is about a band of US soldiers who face death by firing squad but are given reprieve once they accept a suicide mission in Nazi-occupied France. Now, a day later, Tarantino is in talks with Brad Pitt for the lead role. Nikki Finke says:

I’ve confirmed Quentin Tarantino is talking to Brad Pitt to star in Inglorious Bastards, the writer/director’s newly unveiled script being shopped right now to 4 Hollywood studios: Universal, Warner Bros, Paramount and Sony. And Harvey Weinstein will produce it with Lawrence Bender.

Pitt was great in True Romance, so I’m sure he’ll be good in this. I’m just more concerned about how Tarantino pulls this off. I mean, it’s set in WWII. I guess the soldiers find a time machine at some point, so they can come back and talk about 70’s kung fu movies and fucking black chicks.

Tarantino is also reportedly remaking the cult classic, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, with the insanely hot, Tera Patrick. Hey, look! Boobs!:
