Funnyman Mike Myers will go military for his next project.

"The Love Guru" star has joined the recruits for Quentin Tarantino's WWII ensemble flick "Inglorious Bastards," reports Variety.

In the film, Myers is slated to play British Gen. Ed Fenech, a military mastermind who creates a plot to eliminate the Nazi leaders.

He joins the previously cast Brad Pitt, Eli Roth and B.J. Novak. Simon Pegg, Nastassja Kinski and David Krumholtz are still in talks to co-star.

The Weinstein Co. and Universal will put the Tarantino-scripted project into production on Oct. 13 in Germany.
