Pretty sure Paul Walter Hauser is playing the lead, not sure where this guessing about Brad Pitt is coming from. But rumor has it most of his regulars are coming back for this, which is exciting.
As for QT's 10 movie rule, it's moronic and creatively stifling, especially for a director who, frankly, is way more talented and inventive than many of the guys he worships and whose failings he's trying to avoid with this rule. Look at late-era Spielberg or Scorsese, hell even Tarantino himself majorly reinvented himself with OUATIH which would be incredibly exciting if he wasn't going to do just a single movie in that style.
That said, I fully expect him to stick to it. He's shown zero reluctance and even doubled down despite the ridicule he's faced because of it. Frankly at this point he'd probably feel too embarrassed to backtrack. I expect he'll write, do TV. Probably make Bounty Law a show, and make throwback, longform TV like Rian Johnson is doing with Poker Face, that's clearly a passion for him that'll probably keep him creatively engaged for the rest of his career/life.
