Samuel L. Jackson and Maggie Cheung Signs On for Inglourious Basterds!
The highly anticipated Quentin Tarantino project “Inglorious Basterds” has added two more to its cast - Academy Award-nominated actor Samuel L. Jackson and one time Cannes Best Actress Maggie Cheung.
“Inglourious Basterds” begins in German-occupied France, where Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema.
Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their enemy as “The Basterds,” Raine’s squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own.
The Playlist says that Jackson, who called Tarantino himself to ask for a role in the movie, will be the narrator and will appear only a few times throughout. Meanwhile, Maggie Cheung (Hero, Clean) has been cast as Madame Mimieux, the French matron of the Cinematheque that takes in the protagonist Shosanna (Melanie Laurent) when she becomes homeless and is being sought by the Nazis.
The film is currently shooting in Europe and also stars Eli Roth, Mike Myers and Michael Fassbender.
“Inglourious Basterds” will be released in 2009, and will possibly debut at the Cannes Film Festival.

Brand New “The Spirit” Poster and “The Spirit” Poster Contest
A brand new poster for Frank Miller’s “The Spirit” has popped up online, featuring a shot of Gabriel Macht as the title character.
“The Spirit” is the story of a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously from the dead as the Spirit (Gabriel Macht) to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, the Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) has a different mission: he’s going to wipe out Spirit’s beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality. The Spirit tracks this cold-hearted killer from Central City’s rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront … all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill our masked crusader. Surrounding him at every turn are Ellen Dolan (Sarah Paulson), the whip-smart girl-next-door; Silken Floss (Scarlett Johansson), a punk secretary and frigid vixen; Plaster of Paris (Paz Vega), a murderous French nightclub dancer; Lorelei (Jaime King), a phantom siren; and Morganstern (Stana Katic), a sexy young cop.
Then of course, there’s Sand Saref (Eva Mendes), the jewel thief with dangerous curves. She’s the love of his life turned bad. Will he save her or will she kill him?
In the vein of Batman Begins and Sin City, The Spirit takes us on a sinister, gut-wrenching ride with a hero who is born, murdered and born again. Read the rest of this entry
