Earlier this month, we found out Nicolas Cage dropped out of Michel Gondry's upcoming action adventure "The Green Hornet," but back then, it was not really clear why so. The only thing we knew was that Cage failed to reach a proper deal with Columbia. There was more to it though, and Cage now revealed what happened.

Hurrah! Christoph Waltz boards 'Green Hornet'

Christoph Waltz

After delivering what I believe is easily one of the year's best performance as nasty Col. Hans Landa in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds," Austrian actor Christoph Waltz is now set to play the bad guy in Michel Gondry's upcoming "The Green Hornet."

Nicolas Cage was supposed to play the villain in the crime adventure, but he recetly dropped out. Variety says Waltz will play Chudnofsky, a Los Angeles crime lord who tries to bring together a number of gangs to form his own criminal force.

'Inglourious Basterds' web reviews

Christoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds

Quentin Tarantino's amazing WWII drama "Inglourious Basterds" is killing its box office competition, but what do the Web's critics have to say about the film starring Brad Pitt, Eli Roth, Diane Kruger and Christoph Waltz? Here's what:

CinemaBlend's Josh Tyler: "'Inglourious Basterds' is a flawed premise turned into a flawed story full of characters so unique and vibrant, delivering dialogue so intense and captivating, that it’s worth putting up with what’s missing."

• Todd Gilchrist @ Cinematical: "Suffice it to say it's undeniable that the film could easily be trimmed by 20 minutes of so without losing its emotional core – and indeed, perhaps picking up a stronger dramatic momentum."

Can you handle these 'Inglourious Basterds' clips?

Eli Roth and Brad Pitt

The one film I recommend you should see at all cost this weekend is Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds." It may not exactly be the Tarantino you're used to, but it's a fascinating Tarantino nonetheless. If you're not entirely sure yet what to make of it, here are a bunch of clips from the film. Check them out after the jump.

As I'm sure you know by now, "Basterds" follows a group of Jewish-American soliders who are sent to brutally kill every Nazi they come across. Brad Pitt stars as Lt. Aldo Raine, leader of the bloody Basterds, who show no mercy when they cross path with one of Hitler's soldiers. Yes, these guys are blowing some shit up, I can guarantee you that!

Three more join Tarantino’s ‘Bastards’

The cast of Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Bastards” is growing.

According to Variety, Diane Kruger, Christoph Waltz and Raul Rust are the latest to join the ultraviolent WWII drama.

Kruger, whose acting credits include "Troy," “National Treasure” and "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," plays German actress Bridget von Hammersmark, who’s somehow involved in a plot to sabotage the Nazis.

As for Waltz, he stars as Col. Hans Landa, the film’s main antagonist. Specific details concerning Rust’s role are unknown at this stage.

Also on board of the flick are Brad Pitt, Eli Roth, Mike Myers, Michael Fassbender and B.J. Novak. Simon Pegg was also in talks to play a British lieutenant, but he had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts.

I’m very glad to hear that the casting process is going so well. That way they can head into principal photography on time and get that picture ready to theaters as quickly as possible.
