Mike Myers is known for such characters as Wayne Campbell, Austin Powers, and Shrek to name a few.  It might seem far fetched for Myers and Quentin Tarantino to do a film together. But Myers has been cast for a role in Tarantino’s upcoming movie entitled “Inglorious Bastards.”

Myers is set to play a British Gen. Ed Fenech, a military mastermind who takes part in hatching a plot to wipe out Nazi leaders.  This character is said to be a minor one.  Myers may not get much screen time.

“Inglorious Bastards” is a WWII action flick.  This movie is Tarantino finally releasing his dream to re-make a 1970s B movie.  This movie is about a group of Jewish-American soldiers who’re out to do nothing but kill as many Nazis as possible during World War II, with a couple other stories thrown in.

Many say that this movie is nothing more good ‘ol Nazi killing.  It remains to be seen if the movie will be nothing but Nazi killing.

Thus far the movie has a small but notable cast with the likes of Brad Pitt and Eli Roth as two of the films bastards.  There is also talks with Simon Pegg as an English lieutenant, Nastassja Kinski, who hasn’t appeared in a mainstream American movie in ten years, as a German movie star, and the duo of David Krumholtz and BJ Novak.  Other names talked about being in “Inglorious Bastards” have been Leonardo DiCaprio, Tim Roth, Cory Feldman, and Adam Sandler.

There are a variety of roles to be filled in the movie such as more bastards, the villian, the female lead, Winston Churchill, and even Adolf Hitler.  As we get closer to the October 13th production start date, there are sure to be more rumblings about this movie and the cast.
