This report has been confirmed first by Nikki Finke in his Deadline Hollywood Daily on July 8. Up till now, there is no detailed information added concerning the talk between Tarantino and Pitt. If Pitt would play in this new action movie, it would be the second time for the A-list Hollywood actor, after in 1993 he played in "True Romance" which was scripted by Tarantino.

Talking about the movie "Inglorious Bastards" itself, as it is previously mentioned, apparently the script has attracted four studios, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, Paramount Pictures and Sony Pictures. Even though Tarantino has offered the script to other studios, the movie will still be produced by Harvey Weinstein, who owned The Weinstein Company and also Laurence Bender.

"Inglorious Bastards" is focused on a group of U.S. soldier in World War II who are about to be executed. They are trying to avoid the punishment by doing a mission to help the Allies to fight Nazis.
