Now DiCaprio is Rumored for Tarantino’s ‘Bastards’

Perhaps every minor detail of this film can be discussed on a daily basis

Leonardo DiCaprio

Apparently the rumors of Brad Pitt’s involvements in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards are very, very real as the director met with Pitt in France no Tuesday and five studios to be approached by Tarantino and Harvey Weinstien to handle offshore territories for the film are meeting with the expectation Tarantino will land Pitt for the role of Aldo Raine, the film’s lead.

Another new name has been added to the mix that is sure to sweeten the deal even more in the form of Leonardo DiCaprio, also up for a lead role named Hans Landa.

The news is certainly riling up the media as this will be Tarantino’s first film since Grindhouse flopped, despite glowing reviews, back in early 2007.

Inglorious Bastards follows a band of U.S. soldiers facing death by firing squad for their misdeeds who are given a chance to redeem themselves by heading into the perilous no-man’s lands of Nazi-occupied France on a suicide mission for the Allies.

The film will shoot this fall in Germany and also in France.

I Love Leo, but doesn’t he have like 100 other projects he’s supposedly working on?
But I really wouldn’t mind if he did this.

I thought Grindhouse was truly awful!

Seeing Pitt & Di Caprio in an action movie together should be fantastic! It’ll be interesting what Tarantino does with them!…hope they both sign up!
