• Quentin Tarantino is swapping muses. Uma Thurman is out and Diane Kruger (Troy) is in as the femme fatale in the Pulpmeister's highly anticipated World War II drama, Inglorious Bastards. While Thurman wasn't really up for the part, Kruger was, per the Hollywood Reporter, the second choice after Nastassja Kinski and rounds out a cast that already includes Brad Pitt, Mike Myers, Eli Roth, B.J. Novak, Michael Fassbender and Tarantino mainstays Michael Madsen and Tim Roth.
• Speaking of the latter Roth, he's come aboard Skellig, a U.K.-produced fantasy about a boy and his magical creature that costars Kelly MacDonald. Skellig will premiere on Britain's Sky One next spring and then hit theaters.
• Is Penélope Cruz making another play for Oscar? The Spanish star is making it a threesome with countryman Pedro Almodóvar as they team for their third joint, Broken Embraces, described as a noirish romance. Almodóvar previously helmed Cruz in 1999's All About My Mother and 2006's Volver, which earned her a Best Actress Oscar nom.
