Polanski and Quentin Tarantino are set receive funds for their upcoming projects Ghost and Inglorious Bastards respectively from the German Government.

Ghost will be based on an adaptation by Robert Harris and will star Pierce Brosnan and Nicolas Cage and will begin shooting in January and not in September.

Tarantino is also set to start shooting his World War II film Inglorious Bastards from October.

The film has made many people to take notice after a leaked script of the movie floated online. The film is about a group of vengeful Jewish American GIs hunting down German soldiers.

“Without a doubt, these two productions would not be made here without the DFFF,” said fund head Christine Berg.

The 60 million Euro fund has also got the eye of several other projects like the new Stephen Frear romantic period drama called Cheri with Michelle Pfeiffer and Lars Von Trier’s “Antichrist” and Christian Alvart’s science fiction thriller Pandorium starring Dennis Quaid.

The fund was used to generate a positive economic effect and that goal has been fully achieved. The fund would be more than exhausted by now according to Berg.
