Cheung will play Madame Mimeux, the owner of a French movie theater who provides refuge for Melanie Laurent's Shosanna character. Jackson, who apparently called Tarantino himself when he learned he hadn't been up for a role, is now on board as the film's narrator, apparently popping up from time to time providing background context.
The film is currently shooting in Germany and it's been said they're aiming a 2009 release, possibly at the Cannes Film Festival.
Inglourious Basterds was released August 21st, 2009 and stars Brad Pitt, Mélanie Laurent, Christoph Waltz, Eli Roth, Michael Fassbender, Diane Kruger, Daniel Brühl, Til Schweiger. The film is directed by Quentin Tarantino.
