With Quentin Tarantino's Word War II epic Inglorious Bastards set for a 2009 release, the internet has been abuzz this summer over castings news and rumors. Known for his daring casting choices, it's seems that QT's lastest will be no exception. Bastards follows the exploits of a group of Jewish-American soldiers dubbed "The Basterds" [sic] as they attempt to strike fear into the hearts of the Third Reich by scalping and killing as many Nazis as they can get their hands on. Look for updates as more casting news becomes available.
