Variety reports that Eli Roth is in talks to join Quentin Tarantino's war-drama "Inglorious Bastards," where he will play a bat-swinging Nazi hunter named Sgt. Donnie Donowitz.. Shooting will take place this fall in Europe under The Weinstein Co. and Universal Pictures.
Brad Pitt is currently in talks to play Aldo Raine, leader of a rogue band of Jewish-American soldiers who wreak havoc on the bad guys in Nazi-occupied France.
Tarantino had planned to meet with Leonardo DiCaprio for the role of SS Col. Hans Landa, only to decide that the role should be played by a German actor.
