In Quentin Tarantino’s latest WWII rampage, Inglourious Basterds, Eli Roth kicks some major Nazi ass alongside Brad Pitt. Here, the Splat Pack sergeant and Hostel director exercises killer taste by revealing the soundtrack to his Third Reich smackdown.

In my big scene, I beat a Nazi soldier to death. I wanted the audience to feel the pain and anger of every Jew that was killed in the Holocaust. I had to look like an animal filled with pure rage and violence. So, we’re out at this 200-year-old fort in the middle of the woods in Berlin, and I’m in this disgusting, dirty room in the back. A pull-up bar is set up for me, along with a makeshift punching bag and a bench so that I can do triceps dips and lift weights. I’m back there, in this cave, for four days, waiting to come out. By the time Quentin is ready to shoot my scene, I’m sweating, heaving and ready to kill.

As Sgt. Donny “The Bear Jew” Donowitz in Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming WWII revisionist epic Inglorious Basterds, Eli Roth could quite possibly have the best role in movie history. He’s not the star, so the film’s success does not rest on his shoulders. He gets to act alongside Brad Pitt, which, for eye candy purposes, is awesome in its own right. He’s getting paid to spit Tarantino dialogue, notoriously some of the best in the biz. And, perhaps best of all, he gets to annihilate, exterminate, and eradicate, in the most violent ways possible, f**cking Nazis. We spoke to the Hostel director about bringing Quentin home for the holidays, mimicking Brad Pitt at Cannes, and the ‘holy shit’ factor that comes with being in a Tarantino movie.

When all the gonzo casting was announced for Quentin Tarantino's long-gestating WWII epic Inglorious Basterds, I thought, no way, uh uh. Mike Myers, Eli Roth, BJ Novak, Samm Levine, and Cloris Leachmann are hardly your typical Tarantino retro rough-asses. But lo and behold, the full teaser trailer is up on Yahoo!, and not only do we get glimpses of Roth, Levine, and Novak, but all the other actors who aren't the really good looking all seem kind of twerpy. Even Hitler himself is looking a little scrawny. Not enough salmon at craft services, perhaps?
