Tarantino got Another BASTARD Girl
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 b

Quentin Tarantino and the female bastard..
Mr Tarantino has been all over the place with his castings for ‘Inglorious Bastards’, and things are starting to come out about the female lead for the movie. Apparently he is in talks with Melanie Laurent to play Shoshana Dreyfus. Melanie hasnt been in very many American movies, so her resume would look pretty foreign to you as she is from France.

Pretty much immediately after the amusing quote, Tarantino went and finished his script and then started casting and scouting locations like a mad man; this told us he was actually serious and was out to prove it. So here we are. The movie is looking to start

20 Actors and Actresses Who Turned Down Important or Popular Roles
lol 1. Molly Ringwald - Molly Ringwald turned down the role of Vivian in “Pretty Woman” and the role of Molly in “Ghost” among others. She was also offered a part in Scream which she turned down because she was in her late 20’s and didn’t want a teenage role. Also, she was offered Leah Thompson’s role in “Some Kind of Wonderful” which she turned down severing her relationship with John Hughes. Personally, I can’t see her in any of those roles and never felt she was all that great of an
