http://chud.com/nextraimages/xzibit2.jpgOliver Stone’s Pinkville continues to add cast members, but there’s one role that’s going to prove tough to fill: that of a ten year old Vietnamese girl who sees rape and murder of her mother and sister and the burning of her home, who testifies to the atrocities committed by American soldiers at the My Lai Massacre*. The production is still looking for the right girl for that role, a young actress who will have to carry some heavy moments.

Possibly also carrying a heavy moment or two will be Xzibit, one of the raptors who have proven to be pretty good in front of the camera, especially in Gridiron Gang, where he was one of the few bright spots. He’ll play a soldier who believes that what he did at My Lai -helping to murder 500 Vietnamese – was the right thing to do. I’m interested in hearing that rationale.

Pinkville, which stars Channing Tatum, Bruce Willis and Woody Harrelson, is shaping up to be one of my most anticipated movies of next year. I can’t wait for the right wing blogosphere to go batshit insane about a movie featuring war crimes perpetrated by Americans.

*Not to be confused with the Mai Tai Massacre, when Jen Shanower drank six Mai Tais and puked all over the back of the limousine at the Junior Prom.
