“”Hostel” director Eli Roth is on deck to play a baseball bat-swinging Nazi hunter in “Inglorious Bastards,” the Quentin Tarantino-directed drama that begins production this fall in Europe for the Weinstein Co. and Universal Pictures.”
I guess one way to shield yourself from charges of being a douchebag attention-whore director who has no fucking business acting is to preemptively cast another douchebag attention-whore director who has no fucking business acting.
Roth was wretched in DEATH PROOF, and that role in ‘…BASTARDS’ is one of the most iconic characters in that script (Yeah, I read it).
I can only imagine what a REAL actor could do with a bad-ass role like that. Instead we’ll get that man-ape Eli Roth.
Why does anyone still want to work with Tarantino? Did the man sell his soul in exchange for undeserved notoriety?
