Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards has found its first cast member and, oddly, it's a director. Eli Roth (Hostel) is in talks to play Sgt. Donnie Donowitz, described as a "baseball bat-swinging Nazi hunter". Roth has already acted for Tarantino, having played a small role in Death Proof, his half of Grindhouse.

Variety's article also confirms that Brad Pitt is in talks to play Aldo Raine, the leader of the film's band of Jewish soldiers who exact revenge on the Nazis who have occupied France. The cast is expected to be finalised shortly so that filming can get underway in the autumn.
