Brad Pitt Is A "Basterd" Who Loves Homer

Remember Homer from high school?

Not the nerd that asked you to Homecoming; the epic Greek poet.

Brad Pitt is a fan. He must have really enjoyed starring in Troy, an adaptation of Homer's The Illiad, because he just signed on to star in The Odyssey, which means more muscles for us.

And that's not all in Pitt news. Now we know why the Jolie-Pitt clan is holed up in Berlin. Soon-to-be-buffed-up Brad is also filming Tarantino's WWII movie, Inglourious Basterds (misspelling intentional) in which he stars as a "hillbilly straight from the mountains of Tennessee" who is the leader of the "Basterds," a group of Jewish-American soldiers who brutally kill Nazis.

Get ready for a lot of tough, muscled Brad.
