Is Diane Kruger Quentin Tarantino’s new muse? No, not at all in fact, she had to fight tooth and nail to get even screentested and seen by the director, who was initially not interested in hiring her for “Inglorious Basterds” (Kruger says he wanted another actress for the part of Bridget Von Hammersmark, but she dropped out, presumably that was Nastassja Kinski?).

However, the photos from the New York Times Sunday magazine spread are very Q&U are they not (the appelation that Quentin and Uma Thurman went under for co-conceiving of the Beatrix Kiddo character from “Kill Bill”)?

Man, that was quick. Variety saw what was going on with Quentin Tarantino’s new film, made some calls and sussed it out quick, like only the trades can really do. We spoke too soon. Daniel Brühl will not play the role of the main antagonist, Col. Hans Landa in “Inglorious Bastards” (yay, Brühl for Zoller! Brühl for Zoller!).

According to the trade paper, Teutonic actor Christoph Waltz, primarily known for his work on German television, has bagged the role of the merciless and conniving Nazi commander.This makes much more sense.

Update: the story has been proven wrong by Variety, but Brühl may still yet have a role in the film, see below for more info on that character.

Ah, we were just about to leave for the weekend. It appears that German actor Daniel Brühl has not only been officially cast in Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Bastards,” it looks like he just might be playing the main villain Colonel Hans Landa. Wait, him? He’s too handsome and young to be playing someone so nefarious and Machiavellian, no?

Tarantino Gets More Bastards; Looks To Simon Pegg, Nastassja Kinksi & David Krumholtz To Fill Out Cast

Another day, another round of casting news for Quentin Tarantino’s WWII epic “Inglorious Bastards.” He wasn’t kidding when he said he was casting this thing quick.

Here’s what we have so far. Brad Pitt is now officially in as Lt. Aldo Raine which should at least salvage any scenes that has the American Basterd soldiers in it if the rest of the casting gets too out of hand (we really hope Pitt held out to say, “ok, sounds great, but who else is gonna be in this thing with me?”).
