Mike Myers joins INGLORIOUS BASTARDS!
What the hell is Quentin doing?
We know Quentin Tarantino enjoys reviving movie careers but I never thought he would go for Mike Myers for one of his flicks! The actor who is probably at the lowest point of his career right now after the widely disliked and hated The Love Guru, has been tapped up for a small role in Quentin's Inglorious Bastards. In fact the role is so small, he will only be present in one scene.
Myers will come equipped with his convincing but over-used British accent (or will it be his one note Scottish one?) as a Commander who dispatches officer Archie Hicox (Simon Pegg) to help Aldo Raines (Brad Pitt) and his squad of Inglorious Bastards fight the Nazi's.
Mike Myers? He can't do straight, is Tarantino wanting him to do the kind of role Peter Sellers would in movies such as this, like Dr. Strangelove? I would hate to see that.
All the signs point towards Tarantino making a comedy. B.J Novak, Simon Pegg, David Krumholtz and now Mike Myers
Production begins October 13th in Germany. Other cast members are director Eli Roth, and a forgotten German actress by the name of Nastassja Kinski.
And Mr. George Lucas, I have your idea for your next Indy plot. The search for Tarantino's lost mind.
