Director Eli Roth has come on board for Quentin Tarantino's much anticipated war project, Inglorious Bastards, according to Variety. Roth will play a "baseball bat-swinging Nazi hunter" in the film, which is set to begin production this fall. Tarantino served as a presenter for Roth's Hostel, which became a cult success and spawned a sequel. Bastards is being co-produced by The Weinstein Company and Universal.
