With actors across Hollywood being labeled "bastards"left, right, and center it's refreshing almost, to finally say that you know what? This cat is NOT a bastard. In this case, the cat in question is Simon Pegg, or as i like to call him--a skinnier, less obnoxious, more British version of Whoopi Goldberg. The thespian had long been rumoured for the film but we hear otherwise--straight from the horse's mouth btw.

As news broke that Greg "SUPERBAD" Mottola is directing Pegg's new film PAUL, the actor felt compelled to address the insurmountable rumours that have since plagued both him and his family.

Much to our mutual disappointment, I won't be appearing in QT's forthcoming 'Inglorious Bastards' due to insurmountable scheduling difficulties...We really tried to make it work but in the end, it just was not possible without severe ramifications elsewhere. I appreciate your honesty Simon. Next time you write something left me know and I'll bring you a 7up.

This is awful and depressing news. I wonder if this is the role he's considering Mike Myers for now(!), if there's anything to that casting rumor. I really really hope not.

It just seems like the result of a major coke binge. There are interesting parts, but there are some things, like the fact that he misspells "herr" as "heer" throughout the entire goddamn screenplay, that kind of make you think that Quentin didn't really do his footwork here. Plus, there's the descriptive bit that states "This chapter is filmed entirely in French New Wave black and white," am...

Plus, there's the descriptive bit that states "This chapter is filmed entirely in French New Wave black and white," among other things ("he carries a BLACK ATTACHE CASE") that make this heap feel like it was written by a middle school QT fan rather than the man himself. Here's to hoping it was, and the real script is locked away in a safe somewhere.

The script is bad? I've been reading it off and on over the last month. I think it's interesting so far and has potential, but ONLY with Q.T. behind the camera. I don't think anyone else would be able to pull it off. Just my Opinion though.

Anyways, This does SUCK. I love Pegg and his fake trailer with Grindhouse was awesome. I'd much rather see Roth go and Pegg in. (I like Roth ...

I think what he meant to say was "I won't appearing in this film, because I read the leaked script and, holy fuck, it's really, really, REALLY fucking bad. I mean, holy shite, I'm glad it leaked before I signed anything."
