According to The Playlist, beautiful Asian Maggie Cheung has been cast in Quentin Tarantino’s WWII epic INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS as the character Madame Mimieux, the French matron of the Cinematheque that takes in the protagonist Shosanna (Melanie Laurent) when she is homeless and being sought by the Nazis. Cheung can speak French which will make her fit the part just right.
Another one snatched by the gang is Samuel MothaF*in’ Jackson...he’s the kind of talented mofo that when an opportunity comes by to work with Quentin Tarantino again and again, he will never let it pass him by. (Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill 2)
According to the website, Jackson will be the narrator of INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS who is present in only a few spots.
I take it James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman weren’t available.
