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 Snags a Few More 'Bastards'
Bastards, bastards, bastards!

Looks Like Tarantino has found his Shoshanna for ‘Inglorious Bastards’
Shoshanna Dreyfus is the lead female character in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards. The movie pretty much revolves around her so this is a huge role to cast. Dark horizons reports that French actress Melanie Laurent has been cast as Tarantino’s Shoshanna a french Jewish girl who is in hiding from the Nazi’s and at the same time run a movie theater. A source close to Laurent indicates the actress has already flown to Los Angeles to work with Tarantino. Laurent is a French actress

Is Melanie Laurent Tarantino’s Very Cute Bastard Female Lead?
Has Quentin Tarantino found his Jewish Princess for his World War II talky slaughterfest aka “Inglorious Bastards”? Maybe, maybe not. According to the blokes over at Dark Horizons, who quotes a French movie site called Monsieur Cinema, French actress Melanie Laurent has indeed won a leading role in the film. Which could only mean one thing: she’ll be playing Shoshanna Dreyfus, a Jewish girl who is the only survivor of a bloody Nazi manhunt that claims the lives of her entire family, a sequ

Is Quentin Tarantino Compromising ‘Inglorious Bastards’?
When Quentin Tarantino made his bold statement at Cannes that he would be there in one year with Inglorious Bastards, everyone laughed and shook their heads saying “Ooh, Quentin, you rascal, you” and then continued about their business. 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

Samuel L. Jackson Says “Oui” To Tarantino’s “Inglorious” Possibility
“Pulp Fiction” shot him to superstardom, he had a hilarious-but-intense role in “Jackie Brown,” and eagle-eyed fans might have even noticed Samuel J. Jackson behind the piano in a brief “Kill Bill” cameo. So now that Quentin Tarantino has his much-hyped script for “Inglorious Bastards” completed, and half the world has seemingly read it, will he be playing the role of African-American role? “I called him to find out if I had to learn French or not!” Jackson laughed when we asked him t

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. You can check her out on IMDB though..thanks to AICN for the heads up. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for v
