Quentin Tarantino will meet Leonardo DiCaprio later this week to offer him a role in new film Inglorious Bastards, say reports.

According to Variety, Tarantino wants the actor to play the key role of Hans Landa in the World War II drama.

The Pulp Fiction director met Brad Pitt in France yesterday to discuss the part of Aldo Raine.

It would be the first time either Pitt or DiCaprio have worked on a Tarantino-helmed project.

Inglorious Bastards will begin shooting in Germany in the autumn.
