For the supporting cast of his upcoming film, Inglorious Bastards Quentin Tarantino has chosen some familiar faces. Many of the actors from his last films, Deathproof and Kill Bill, will return to work with him on the movie. Tarantino’s extended brood of actors is starting to seem like a family affair.
The Playlist reports that filming of the movie has begun in Germany. A few previously unreported actors will join the likes of Eli Roth (Grindhouse) in Tarantino’s first epic War film. Julie Dreyfus (Kill Bill: Vol 1) will play a Frenchwoman who conspires with the Bastards. Omar Doom (Deathproof) will play one of the Bastards. It is rumored that Michael Bacall (Deathproof, Manic) will also play a Bastard, but his role is not yet confirmed. Christian Berkel, August Diehl and Jana Pallaske are the international actors involved in the film.
Although the faces of the actors rounding out the cast of Inglorious Bastards may be familiar to Tarantino, they might not be familiar to you. Tarantino has gone under the radar for the smaller parts in his new film. One of his cast members only has Deathproof on his resume!
Inglorious Bastards will follow the “The Basterds,” a group of Jewish-American soldiers that scalp and maul Nazis for the purpose of gaining notoriety and spreading fear.
