Papa Pitt is headed back to work.

The actor, 44, has officially signed on for Quentin Tarantino's WWII drama Inglorious Bastards, according to Variety.

Though much of the movie's dialogue is in French or German, Variety reports that Pitt will speak English in his role "as a Tennessee hillbilly who assembles a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers to take on the Nazis."

Office star B.J. Novak is in talks to star as one of Pitt's underlings.

Filming begins October 13 in Germany.

The move means Angelina Jolie likely won't be headed back to work anytime soon.

She said in an interview this summer: "Brad and I take turns working. So instead of it being, 'I get to work next,' it's, 'You have to work next, because it's your turn. I'm staying home with the kids.'"

Pitt is expected to attend the 65th Venice Film Festival on August 27 for the premiere of his new Coen Brothers crime comedy, Burn After Reading.

FILMMAKER Quentin Tarantino, who revived the career of John Travolta with Pulp Fiction, is looking to do the same for Brad Pitt.

Brad can now celebrite his emeshment and procreation with a mentally ill substance abuser who is a well known skank and master manipulator. They have not married because that would just be too hard to put on a cake. He can also celebrate being a poor parent who moves his children all over the planet and continually adds family members to appease his nightmare of a partner's flutuating whims and compulsive leanings. Way to go Brad!!! You should be so proud of yourself. You managed to lose your morals, your brains, your judgement, your looks, and your credibility in three short years. Love that fast track, it would have taken some people ten years to do that level of damage to yourself and others. Yes, congratulations is in order!!!!!!

I wouldn't normally say this...but...I hope Brad cheats on Angi with his newest co-star. Maybe then that wh*re will learn to find herself a single man instead of ruining other relationships.

I hate Brad Pitt. I hate Angelina Jolie. The only good thing to come from either of them is their gorgeous baby girl Shiloh

I hear it will be Britney Spears. They both love kids! What a great couple they'd make! And a STEP UP on the insanity ladder from Jolie! Another perk? We all know how Brad's fans always comment that Angelina is soooo much younger than Jen- so what a deal- Britney's even younger-a win win situation for sure! Hit me baby one more time.
