Casting News: Myers Is a ‘Bastard’ for Tarantino
Quentin Tarantino turned John Travolta's entire career around with a memorable role in "Pulp Fiction," and now he's lending a similar hand to Mike Myers. According to Variety, the comedian who packed them in with the "Austin Powers" series and is the voice of the world famous green ogre "Shrek," is set to join the cast of the director's WWII thriller, "Inglorious Bastards."

No, this isn't some bizarre revamp of Myers character Fat Bastard from the "Powers" films. Instead, Tarantino's long-awaited drama will find Myers playing British General Ed Fenech, a military genius who helps devise a plan to take out a number of Nazi leaders. He'll join an already intriguing cast that includes Brad Pitt, Eli Roth (the "Hostel" director), B.J. Novak (the latest breakout star of "The Office") and another Tarantino comeback candidate, Nastassja Kinski ("Cat People").

While it's unclear how dramatic "Bastards" will be in tone, this isn't the first time Myers has stepped out of his over-the-top comedy comfort zone. In fact, he was one of the few actors to receive strong reviews in the 1998 drama "54." And that's a big compliment considering what a mess that misfire was.

He deserves a horrible movie death after Love Guru

the previews were bad enough. He does have some good ones though!

but I couldn't handle it. I had to turn it off and take the second half the next day. I'm surprised Verne Troyer didn't go postal and shoot the place up for the indignation they put him through.

I watched that with little kids, who didn't like it, either. "The book's better" is what the 4 year old had to say about it.

I figured it was a long ad for the Ford Focus.

:woohoo::hi:
