Brad Pitt's reps have confirmed that the actor is in talks for Inglorious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino's WWII drama.

Previously, rumors have been floating around that Brad Pitt was up for the role of Aldo Raine and that Leonardo DiCaprio would be up for the Nazi Hans Landa. However, according to EW, the Brad Pitt rumor is true, while the DiCaprio one is false.

With Tarantino finally signing with Universal Studios and now signing up his stars, shooting should be on time to begin in the fall in Germany and France.
