Pitt confirmed for Tarantino war film

Movie bosses at Universal Pictures have confirmed Brad Pitt has signed to star in Quentin Tarantino's World War II drama 'Inglorious Bastards'.

The 'Pulp Fiction' director reportedly jetted off to France to meet Pitt while he waited for his partner Angelina Jolie to give birth to their twins last month and persuaded him to take the role of a Tennessee hillbilly who assembles a team of Jewish-American soldiers in the film.
