'Troy' stars reunite for Tarantino

German actress Diane Kruger is to reteam with 'Troy' co-star Brad Pitt in Quentin Tarantino's new war movie 'Inglorious Bastards'.

Kruger will play a German movie star in the film, which features Pitt as a hillbilly leading a band of Jewish vigilante soldiers in World War Two.

She says: "I just found out I'm going to do Tarantino's next film with Brad Pitt and I'm very excited. Quentin just called."

Both stars have been part of the Venice Film Festival in Italy this past week - Pitt was there at the beginning of the week to promote his new film 'Burn After Reading' and host a charity gala, while Kruger was designer Valentino's guest at the premiere of his new documentary.

She is also the face for Swiss watch company Jaeger Le Coutre, the firm behind a lavish party she'll attend on Sunday.
