Eli Roth Cast in “Inglorious Bastards”

Eli Roth

Variety is reporting that “Hostel” director Eli Roth has boarded the Quentin Tarantino-directed “Inglorious Bastards” as a baseball bat-swinging Nazi hunter in the drama for the Weinstein Co. and Universal Pictures. Brad Pitt is in talks to play Aldo Raine, leader of a rogue band of Jewish-American soldiers who wreak havoc on the bad guys in Nazi-occupied France. Eli Roth wil play the part of Sgt. Donnie Donowitz. This is a pretty big coup for Eli Roth to be starring in a film along side the likes of Brad Pitt. We will have to wait and see how big the role is and how much of a part he plays in the films story. Roth has a bit of experience getting in front of the camera for Tarantino, as he had a small role in one of the faux movie trailers that played during Grindhouse. But those who know Roth know that he and Quentin Tarantino have been close ever since Tarantino stamped his name on Roth’s breakout directing hit, Hostel. Tarantino had planned to meet with Leonardo DiCaprio for the role of SS Col. Hans Landa, only to decide that the role should be played by a German actor. Production begins this fall in Europe.
