    By APA Staff

    Maggie Cheung joins Tarantino, Hollywood remakes The Host, and Sammo Hung fights monkeys. All this and more in the latest edition of News Bites.

    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

    happened to know that its michael madsen who was first offered the role of vincent vega but he turned it down and paved way for travolta!

    wow...madsen would have rocked if he had played that role - pch - pulp fiction would had been even better

    Quentin Tarantino's World War 2 epic to open in August
    Posted: 02 January 2009 1257 hrs

    LOS ANGELES : Controversial - that’s the word which comes to mind when one mentions the name Quentin Tarantino.

    And it's no different this time round as the film director will give audiences his take on World War II, in his soon to be released film titled, “Inglourious Basterds”.

    And no, if you’re wondering, that isn’t a spelling error.

    The director’s oddly spelled epic stars several A-list Hollywood actors including Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger and Christoph Waltz and is set to be released on August 21, it was announced on Wednesday.

    Production for the film started in Europe in October 2008.

    The story begins when Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hands of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Waltz) and manages to narrowly escape to Paris. There, she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema.

    Shosanna’s plan for revenge soon converges with German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Kruger), and US Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Pitt), who organises a rebellion group of Jewish soldiers, also known to their enemy as “The Basterds”.

    It has been reported that Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” borrows from what are known as Spaghetti Westerns or Italian-made films from the 1960s and 70s that combine brutal violence and lyrical, fairytale-like qualities in a twist from Hollywood cowboy movies.

    The film in itself, however, draws inspiration from the 1978 World War II movie “Quel maledetto treno blindato,” also called “The Inglorious Bastards,” from Italian director Enzo Castellari.

    This will be the first film that the 45-year-old has directed single-handedly since his martial arts epic sequel, “Kill Bill: Vol 2”, in 2004, which grossed a whopping US$152 million world wide.

    The American film director’s last project was a combined feature in 2007, called “Grindhouse”, made with director Robert Rodriguez.

    While some critics may come down hard on Tarantino’s supposed trivialised and stylised violence, the director has a rather devoted fan base and has received numerous awards.

    With “Inglourious Basterds” poised to be ready in time for the Cannes Festival this year, fans can only wait and see if Tarantino can strike gold once again with his latest film. "Pulp Fiction" not only earned him the Oscar in 1994, it also the snagged the Palme d’Or at Cannes.

    Jointly presented by The Weinstein Company and Universal Pictures, there is no official date at the moment for the international release of “Inglourious Basterds”.

    I had similar feelings of Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. Was surprised in the end.

    Would still give the benefit of the doubt to QT of course. His casting has always been inspiring. But likes of Eli Roth () or Mike Myers in a film where you'd normally expect Tim Roth or Steve Buscemi. To hire Pitt is uninspiring, because QT is much more interested in "untapped charisma" of Madsen, Travolta, and likes. Rourke would do too. :P Pitt is damn boring in comparison. It's just me...

    Nerd/Thilak: The accent did not work for me.. but again it is just a 2 minute trailer. Pitt is usually pretty trustworthy in the hands of decent directors.

    It's not just accent, the demeanor is not interesting.
