Mike Myers Cast in Inglorious Bastards. Why Am I Not Surprised?

Yes, it seems there is even more Tarantino casting passing through this blog. According to Variety:

Mike Myers has been recruited by Quentin Tarantino to join the ensemble cast of "Inglorious Bastards," the Tarantino-scripted pic that the Weinstein Co. and Universal will put into production Oct. 13 in Germany.

Myers will play British Gen. Ed Fenech, a military mastermind who takes part in hatching a plot to wipe out Nazi leaders.

This definitely keeps on my idea of this movie being a comedy. But I wonder if this may prove to be a clever ruse. Take Stranger Than Fiction for instance. It was advertised as a comedy. It starred comedy legend Will Ferrell. Yet it was not a comedy at all, but a rather ironic drama. I'd love to see another movie do this sort of thing. I really liked Stranger Than Fiction and I'd love to see another film, starring primarily comedians, actually be a compelling drama.

But knowing Tarantino, it will be a dark comedy. And it will be shot in the style of a bunch of old war movies. That's just his style.
