Laurence Bender saying that the alchemy of Pitt and Tarantino will yield unique results. “You’ll see something different with the two of them,” he said. “They’re going to push each other and really help make something special.”

Brad Pitt is officially a ‘*******’
Pegg, Kinski, Krumholtz in talks to join film
By MICHAEL FLEMING, TATIANA SIEGEL.
Brad Pitt has closed his deal to star in Inglorious ********, the WWII drama that Quentin Tarantino will direct for the Weinstein Co. and Universal. Additionally, Nastassja Kinski is in early talks to play one of the sole female roles in the film. Casting the German-born actress jibes with Tarantino’s habit of resuscitating dormant careers. Kinski, who has stayed away from mainstream American films for nearly a decade, would play a German movie queen.
Much of the pic’s dialogue is in French or German and subtitles will be used, though Pitt will speak English in his role as a Tennessee hillbilly who assembles a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers to take on the Nazis. Simon Pegg, David Krumholtz and B.J. Novak are also in talks to join the project. Pegg would play a British lieutenant, while Krumholtz and Novak would play Pitt’s underlings.
Pic begins production Oct. 13 in Germany. Tarantino, who wrote the script, is aiming to complete the film and have it ready for next year’s Cannes Film Festival. Lawrence Bender is producing, with Erica Steinberg and Harvey and Bob Weinstein as executive producers. Pilar Savone is associate producer. Deal puts Pitt back in business with Universal ; apparently he and the studio have patched things up following his last-minute exit from State of Play late last year.
Under the terms of Tarantino’s deal, he receives 20 % of first-dollar grosses. That percentage can be reduced if a first-dollar gross star like Pitt joins the cast, though it’s unclear if Tarantino is ceding any of his points to the star.
Bender said casting should be complete in about a week or two. Eli Roth will play Sgt. Donnie Donowitz and Tarantino is locking in the other actors to play the soldiers who make up the ******** team. Tarantino regular Tim Roth had been in contention to join the cast but couldn’t work out the scheduling because of his upcoming TV series Lie to Me. While Pitt will be working for the first time with Tarantino as director, he does have on his resume a small but memorable turn as a stoner in the Tony Scott-directed True Romance, a script that Tarantino wrote between Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
I’m looking forward to “Burn After Reading,” “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” and now this =)
Does this mean that they will stay in Europe this Fall?
Jared Lurker @ 08/07/2008 at 11:18 pm It sounds like an interesting project. I am looking forward to Burn after Reading and the Curious Case of Benjamin Button movie also.

He also has Tree of Life. All of his upcoming films are Oscar baity. Ever since he hooked up with Jolie, all he’s ever done are Oscar baity films. Jolie should do the same so she’ll have as much respect as an actress.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Angelina does have respect as an actress as a VERSATILE actress and even though A MIGHTY HEART did not have box office success, Angelina got critical acclaim because everyone knows she is a great characteer actress (Gia, Girl Interuptted and Mighty Heart) as well as a great action star. She has her Golden Globes and Oscar to prove it. She has nothing to prove.
Brad on the other hand has had some great performances but unfortunately in the same years as other actors with great performances. He should get his Oscar this year, but then again, there’s Heath Ledger and his Dark Knight performance. The last two years Brad could have won for Oscar for Babel and Jesse James but was nipped by someone else. His time is coming spoon though.
I hope Brad got an apology from Universal.
Good news. The quirky combination of QT and Brad should make it very interesting.
Wow, lots of Brad movies to look forward to: BAR, CCOBB, TOL and now, IB. All movies with top producers and/or LEGENDARY directors.

Good article from USA today:
Jolie-Pitt photos are a study in nonchalance
“Yes, they have the maids and the nannies and the security and all of these things that go with who they are, but the message is that ‘Hey, we’re pretty regular people, ‘ ” Hollywood publicist Howard Bragman says about the Jolie-Pitts.
By Cindy Clark, USA TODAY
In a business in which image is everything, matching sweater sets just won’t do — especially if you’re a featured face in the Jolie-Pitt family album.
The 19-page photo spread in this week’s People magazine introduced the world to Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Léon, the twins born to much fanfare on July 12 to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
The images, which People would not release for publication, depict a seemingly casual day at Jolie and Pitt’s French chateau, without the formality found in other celebrity baby photo spreads. The vibe is of a family slumber party; the photos range from the parents with their newborns to one-on-one sibling shots to all eight sets of arms and legs tangled on a fluffy bed.
But “don’t let that fool you,” says Howard Bragman, a Hollywood publicist and author of the upcoming book Where’s My Fifteen Minutes?. “I think it’s what we would call ’studied casual,’ which is the hardest thing to create.”
Jolie, 33, and Pitt, 44, who said they plan to donate the many millions they received for the photos to charity, aren’t trying “to flaunt their wealth, but their family and their beliefs in adoption and diversity,” Bragman says.
Bragman likens the photos to Benetton’s clothing ads, which used models of different ethnicities.
Robert Verdi, a celebrity stylist and television personality, agrees. “I really look at it as the reality of the Benetton campaigns,” he says. “It’s such a nice reflection of the idea of multicultures … and it’s evidence that Hollywood’s royal family is a diverse one.”
The photos include siblings Maddox, 7, from Cambodia, Pax, 4, from Vietnam, Zahara, 3, from Ethiopia, and Shiloh, 2. Taking good photos of kids is no easy feat, Verdi notes. “You can’t control four children, no matter how many millions you’re getting paid,” he says.
Although the photos may seem as if the children had just run in from playing in the yard, Bragman has no doubt that multiple stylists were on hand to create the perfect look. Both People magazine and Getty Images, which handled the photography, declined to comment on the shoot.
“This was very well planned and very well executed,” Bragman says. “Yes, they have the maids and the nannies and the security and all of these things that go with who they are, but the message is that ‘Hey, we’re pretty regular people.’ ”
Even if stylists were on the scene, “it’s a new age of parenting where children get to do what they want,” Verdi says. “No child in my time growing up would have had blue hair,” he adds, referring to Maddox’s faux-hawk hairdo.
The photo session was held at the chateau, but little of the house is seen. Most of the photos take place in a room with stark white walls. “I don’t think they are trying to look as wealthy as they are. It’s about accessibility,” Bragman says.
Verdi says the family’s photo shoot reflects a trend: “Right now there’s definitely been this idea of not looking the part, wealthwise. The line is so blurred that fashion no longer tells people who you really are — it tells them who you want to be.”
The color palette is all neutrals, with the occasional pop of color from Maddox’s hair or Zahara’s shirt. “The soft-focus colors … it’s pure, good, simple and clean. It’s absent of the frills that take the focus off the humanity,” Verdi says. Jolie’s hair is undone and her makeup is muted. “That’s the hardest thing to do,” Bragman says. “It’s easy to go over the top.”
The kids are mostly in play clothes, and chipped nail polish and what appears to be partially rubbed-off fake tattoos are visible. “The implication of having this desire to save these children from strife and poverty implies not that you want to control them, but that you want them to have the freedom to express themselves,” Verdi says. “You don’t want to dress them up like objects.”
The final product is “perfect,” Bragman says. The family looks authentic, and the “biggest word in marketing is authenticity. If they try and look too fancy, people might not buy it. When people are trying to be who they’re not, other people can tell.”
Bragman predicts this easy, carefree style will spark a trend among non-celebrity families. “Every portrait photographer across America is going to be doing baby pictures like these.”

Ooops, my copy and paste of USA today didn’t show up. Please click on the link. The article gives a great analysis of what advertising people are saying about the photo shoot of the JPs.
Confirmed: Brad and Angelina are the Zen masters.
I’m not really a fan of Brad Pitt’s acting ,but I’ll definitely be checking this movie out when it’s released.
I just noticed in that main amazing family pic, while Pax is next to Angie kicking at the camera, Angie is holding little Viv and she’s kicking out the same way. Her little leg is in the same position as her big bro Pax. CUTENESS.
Lylian I copied the article but it looks like Jared won’t let me paste it for some reason. Maybe I can paste the link:
