Quentin Tarantino On His Pulp Fiction Dream Cast - 2 Bears, 1 Cave Highlight

Tim Roth was perfect for that role

[@MrOuchiez]

Hes perfect in everything, acts circles around Depp and I mostly like Depps acting

[@69GUNOT]

Christian Slater also would've been perfect.

[@YanzBra]

Tarrentino has this unique ability to express himself in such a jagged, fragmented and frantic way while portraying his ideas and somehow making you still want to watch and not feel unfomfortable. It's almost a personification of how his films are. He'll be remembered as one of the best of this century and for good reason.

[@Humblemumble7]

I have to fundamentally disagree with you sir. Tarantino speaks in a most succinct and complete way. Fills in all the blanks and conveys all of the information in the most comprehensive way. On top of making it intriguing to listen. He's the BEST storyteller He has the BEST dialog That goes for inside and outside of his movies

[@WCSkills]

I believe Tarantino must have Hyperthymesia (perfect memory) as his ability to recall past moments, conversations, movie scene details is uncanny. His brain is like an encyclopedia.

or a retentive memory, total recall, photographic memory etc, it's a curse.

[@brycesanders2686]

The Depp story he told, knowing some studios methods, they would’ve a) forced a rewrite to make his character more prominent unless it could be convinced he wasn’t as huge as he would become (maybe) or b) over promoted his involvement to where people would think “that’s all he’s in, the beginning and the end?!”

[@Appalachianasshole41]

Depp wasn't a big star in the early 90s he was a supporting actor and couldn't sell a movie on his star power. The studio wouldn't demand rewrites for his part at that point in time, he was basically a nobody. He didn't get big till fear and loathing and then blow.

He opened the viper room in 1993. And dated Kate koss in 93 and was in every magazine. Fear and loathing wasn't even a huge smash hit. It defly didn't make him a mega star. Depp jus continued to get bigger and bigger as the decade rolled on. Depp was as big as keanu reeves and christian slater was in 93-94 who were both mega stars for being young actors...Depp jus played in different roles and less box office smashes as they did then by choice. As he continued most of his carrier on purpose choosing his parts carefully....the Pirates movies took him from big star to mega star if anything did. In 2003...

Even better. Would have added so much to the character I like travolta but look at depps whitey burger character. He's next level.

[@thesexygrandpacollective]

It would change the Jules-Vincent dynamic so much. Travolta had this jaded but sturdy demeanour. Depp can be jaded but he always has a glint in his eye (huge difference #1). Depp has doesn’t really have a sturdy, heavy presence in either physique or tone (#2) Not saying that it couldn’t work. Just that it’d be a whole different world.

Depp also wants a lot of control over his characters.

Fantastic, a cinematic savant. One thing though, I REALLY need to know the story of Jules after Pulp Fiction…. I need to know what happened to him before I die!!

[@TPTurkey-x2i]

The part was originally written for Laurence Fishburne but Fishburnes agents convinced him to turn the role down because they didn't want him in a "supporting role". Jackson had auditioned for a part of Reservoir Dogs but didn't get it but Tarantino kept him in mind for a later part. Jackson had read the Pulp Fiction script and really wanted to play Jules. When Fishburne declined the part was tentatively offered to Jackson but he still had to blow them away with audition because someone else had read for the part and had impressed Tarantino and Bender (a producer).
