I’m following the development on the movie INGLORIOUS BASTARD because it fascinates me how Quentin Tarantino chooses one heartthrob star, Brad Pitt in the main role and then cast some of the ultimate freaks and geeks in Hollywood (Eli Roth, Mike Myers, Samm Levine, BJ Novak) and then some German actors (Til Schweiger, Christoph Waltz and Michael Fassbender) and then took a ‘hot’ route when it comes to casting the women.
Last month, Diane Kruger joined the cast of the story about a rogue band of Jewish-American soldiers wreak havoc on the bad guys in Nazi-occupied France.
According to Dark Horizon, QT has got himself another female and her name is Melanie Laurent.
We the U.S. Audiences would go “Melanie Who?” She’s a French actress famous in her homeland but not so much here.. yet. Her luck’s about to change after this movie.
She will be playing the character Shoshana Dreyfus, a young Jewish women who flees to Paris where she runs a movie theater.
The German People reportedly have problems with this project already because the script that got leaked online. The story apparently involves some heavy and brutal violence inflicted on the German characters by the Nazi Hunters.
Well, the Germans should realize that this is NO Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan…. this is Tarantino’s BASTARDS.
