Mr. Orange still wants to be a BASTARD

Eccentric director Quentin Tarantino pulled out of the Rolling Roadshow event in Spain this weekend where (yes I'm very much jealous) they are screening the whole Dollars trilogy in open area venues and he was set to introduce For a Few Dollars More to the crowd. The reason he pulled out is because he is preparing to begin production on his epic World War II movie Inglorious Bastards which he claimed at Cannes would be ready for next year's festival in the early summer of 2009 and if it that's the case, casting would have to begin soon.

Now alongside Michael Madsen, one name that has been attached for years to the project is Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs actor Tim Roth who gave this response when asked about the movie this week...

"I keep hearing about it, but we haven't talked about it," Roth said. "It's a thing that me and Quentin talked about a long time ago so we'll see. I hope so," he said as he crossed his fingers.

I second the finger crossing. Roth is said to be somewhere in between filming the British comedy 44 Inch Chest and the 13th century Spanish drama King Conqueror. It's unknown how quickly he would be able to commit for Tarantino. source - coming soon
