It looks like Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Bastards" is finally moving ahead after all at The Weinstein Company says The Hollywood Reporter.

The long-gestating World War II action tale follows a group of Dirty Dozen-like group of soldiers behind enemy lines.

The Weinsteins will co-finance the film, distribute it domestically and oversee production and worldwide marketing.

Shooting will take place in Europe starting in October and will be put through an accelerated production schedule to be finished in time for next May's Cannes Film Festival.

Deadline Hollywood Daily adds that Brad Pitt is in discussions to play a role.
