For Babelsberg Film Studios, where the most of the rest of the movie will be shot, this is the 6th big Hollywood production. For two casting events a few weeks ago, a total of several thousand people showed up, each applicant pursuing the dream of being on a Tarantino movie set. While Quentin is letting his SS villains loose on a poor french farmer&#8217;s family, construction is well on the way in and around the studio lot for the main production starting in a few days. For those of you still reading up and down the cast list, here are some quick bits for you: <strong>Christian Berkel<\/strong> is playing a Frenchman, and Tarantino veterans <strong>Omar Doom<\/strong> and <strong>Michael Bacall<\/strong> will both be in the film, Doom playing one of the Basterds. <em>(Sources: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pnn.de\/Pubs\/potsdam\/pageviewer.asp?TextID=16635\" target=\"_blank\">Pnn.de<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmstarts.de\/nachrichten\/134606-Inglorious-Bastards-Erste-Klappe-f%FCr-Tarantino-Film-mit-Pitt.html\" target=\"_blank\">filmstarts.de<\/a> \/ special thanks to Roland)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is on, ladies and gentlemen.
