Three more join Tarantino's Bastards

The cast of Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Bastards” is growing.

According to Variety, Diane Kruger, Christoph Waltz and Raul Rust are the latest to join the ultraviolent WWII drama.

Kruger, whose acting credits include "Troy," “National Treasure” and "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," plays German actress Bridget von Hammersmark, who’s somehow involved in a plot to sabotage the Nazis.

As for Waltz, he stars as Col. Hans Landa, the film’s main antagonist. Specific details concerning Rust’s role are unknown at this stage.

Also on board of the flick are Bard Pitt, Eli Roth, Mike Myers, Michael Fassbender and B.J. Novak. Simon Pegg was also in talks to play a British lieutenant, but he had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts.

I’m very glad to hear that the casting process is going so well. That way they can head into principal photography on time and get that picture ready to theaters as quickly as possible.
