Maggie Cheung to join cast of Quentin Tarantino's Upcoming Film

Maggie Cheung, one of Hong Kong's most respected actresses, has accepted a role in Quentin Tarantino's new film Inglorious Bastards, where she plays a cinema owner. Her lines will be all in French. According to The Hollywood Reporter: "Two story lines... converge: One follows a group of prisoners-turned-soldiers whose mission is to take down a group of Nazis, and the other follows a young Jewish woman who seeks to avenge the death of her parents by this Nazi group." Inglorious Bastards boasts the largest cast of characters of any of Tarantino's films to date. With Brad Pitt, Samuel L. Jackson, Diane Kruger and Mike Myers on board, Inglorious Bastards is currently filming in Germany and France. Hopes are that the film will be completed in time for release at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2009. --Kristie Hang
