This will mark the first time Brad has worked with the maverick director of such modern classics as Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. And, says the film's producer, it's a match made in heaven. "They're going to push each other and really help make something special," explains Lawrence Bender, Tarantino's partner on the film.
Also in talks to join the film are Hot Fuzz star Simon Pegg, David Krumholtz of CBS hit Numb3rs, Office star BJ Novak and horror director Eli Roth.
