I'm still amazed that Tarantino has resisted on digging up some old names as he's always done in the past (Travolta,Grier,Chiba,Carradine,etc.) The IB cast is made mostly of young newcomers.
Guess there's still enough time for some surprises to come out.

Looks like he's nailed the look completely. Can't wait. The script is like Once Upon a Time in the West, Reservoir Dogs, and The Dirty Dozen rolled into one big cluster of great.

I wonder what the reaction to "the ending" will be.
It's really quite audacious, when you look at it. Idid not see it coming at all. It took balls, and I wonder how audiences will react to it. I can see a lot of people leaving the theaters confused... though it does take the story to its logical conclusion.
It will be interesting to see what the critical and fan reaction to this movie is. It is not what anyone is expecting. I went into the script assuming it was going to be a straight-up war movie, and instead it was more like "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill" set during WWII.

When the hell did Cloris Leachman get involved?!
And Rod Taylor too?!?!
And isn't Catherine Deneuve supposed to be in this now? I remember reading she was replacing her 8 Women co-star Isabelle Huppert.

...and she's not too bad looking. Seems to have the appropriate "look" for the part; sort of dark-haired and waifish.

A) To seperate itself from Enzo Castellari's film
B) It's how the term is envisioned by Brad Pitt's character
C) Tarantino just can't spell

Now, if Tarantino sets it to either the Ode of Joy or - to be completly insane:

Also, anyone who saw the Bob Saget roast knows Cloris Leachman is an ideal person to be in a Tarantino movie. I can't believe an 80-year-old-plus woman can be that dirty.
