Hitler to get Pulp Fiction treatment in Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards
Quentin Tarantino, master of cinematic violence, is about to stir up a hornet's nest in Germany with a war film that depicts Nazi soldiers having their brains bashed out with a baseball bat wielded by a vengeful American.

Filming starts in Berlin on October 13 and the controversial director is already in the German capital making his final casting decisions. The star role is to be played by Brad Pitt.
