Pulp Fiction almost starred Daniel Day-Lewis as Vincent Vega

Harvey Weinstein was dead-set against giving the role of Vincent Vega to John Travolta. “John Travolta was at that time as cold as they get,” says Mike Simpson, Tarantino’s agent at William Morris Endeavor. “He was less than zero.” Simpson had given Weinstein a “term sheet” of Tarantino’s demands, which included final cut, a two-and-a-half-hour running time, and final choice of actors. “One of the actors I had on the list was John Travolta,” says Tarantino. “And it came back: ‘The entire list is approved … except for John Travolta.’ So I got together with Harvey, and he’s like, ‘I can get Daniel Day-Lewis, Sean Penn, William Hurt.’” By then, according to Simpson, “Daniel Day-Lewis and Bruce Willis, who was the biggest star in Hollywood, had both gotten their hands on the script and wanted to play Vincent Vega.”

WOW THAT WOULD HAVE TOTALLY CHANGED PULP FICTION IN MY OPINION. BUT I CAN’T REALLY SAY IF IT WOULD BE BETTER OR WORSE. I LOVE DANIEL DAY-LEWIS. HOWEVER, VEGA IS SUPPOSED TO BE “COOL” AND TRAVOLTA CAN PLAY COOL. DANIEL DAY-LEWIS WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH DARKER AND YELLED A LOT.

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!!

Gentlemen, you had my curiousity. But now, you have my attention.

Django Unchained (2012)

Django was easily Tarantino’s best “looking” movie to date. Sooo brutal at times but a great movie in the end.

Just saw Django Unchained!

One of the most brutal movies I’ve seen yet still awesome!
