QT was on Letterman Monday night. He said he normally has 2 or 3 choices for a role, but he specifically had Pitt in mind for this one.
Something I never noticed watching the trailers unil Letterman mentioned it: the title of the film is actually spelled Inglourious Basterds.

That's a different role than the one Sandler was allegedly considered for. Pitt's not really the lead, but he's the lead as far as promotion is concerned because the other leads are relative unknowns.
