Jackson Genre: Action, Drama, War MPAA Rating: Not Available Official Website: Not Available Plot Summary: "Inglourious Basterds" (sic) begins in German-occupied France, where Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema.
Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their enemy as "The Basterds," Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own...
There's pretty much no movie Samuel L. Jackson can't find his way into. I mean, if you had the option of casting him, wouldn't you? So apparently he had to beg his way into a role in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, but he got it, reports The Playlist. Jackson and Chinese actress Maggie Cheung have both snagged parts in the film, which has been shooting for like a month but apparently still has parts that need to be filled.
Jackson's part will be the narrator, "who's present only in a few spots" according to the Playlist guys who have actually read the script. Cheung will fill in the role of the French woman who owns a movie theater and takes in the main character, Shosanna, when she's being chased by Nazis. Playlist questions Cheung's casting, wondering how a Chinese woman would have wound up in France during World War II, but to me it seems like the kind of random flourish that only Tarantino would have the guts to pull off.
I'm happy to see Jackson in anything, and I like Cheung's roles in Chinese-- we'll have to see how much she can accomplish in French, which she apparently speaks fluently. But I'm not the biggest Tarantino fan in the world, and wouldn't particularly care if the movie was ruined by weird casting. So what say you, Internet?
It's Tarantino. That makes it worth seeing in my eyes. I've seen several old interviews where he talks about writing a WWII epic and says it's the greatest thing he's ever written, so that makes me very, very excited to see this when it comes out.
Tarintino's supporting cast (Novak, Levine, and from what I heard, Mike Myers cameo) is what usually makes his movies, so I'm stoked. Inglorious Bastards ftW

I agree with you, they all are very artistic and just really eye catching. Nothing cooler than a bloody baseball bat. That is just so brutal.
