The Director's Chair > Quentin Tarantino

Tarantino's Casting

(1/6) > >>

cine:
I respect his casting choices, but I'm curious if other people are annoyed when he gets, say, David Carradine to play the lead in "Kill Bill".. does that annoy anybody here? When Tarantino says something along the lines of "David Carradine is just as good an actor as (insert great actor here)" in his Jackie Brown DVD interview.
Does anybody here oppose the casting of older people that have barely been seen or heard of for years?

Raikus:
Are you saying just because an actor hasn't worked in a few years they should be permanently blacklisted? That shouldn't be the case. They should always be judged on whose best for the role and who can best make the transition from script to screen.

However, if you have any beef with Tarantino's choice of Carradine, it should be that this looks like his normal pigeon-holed role. The man should try something different than good/evil karate/kung fu master who walks the earth/is a crimelord and fights in slow motion style type role.

MacGuffin:
just member, warren beatty was the original choice.  :yabbse-wink:

c if i figured out dis copy paste thing

Beatty: "I really want to work with Quentin, and the script is terrific, but the part has grown, and the schedule and locations for me would now take so much more time than originally planned that I'm just not going to be able to do it,"

"Me and Warren were having dinner the other night, and Warren said, 'Why haven't you gone to David Carradine with this?' It became mutually obvious to us that this wasn't the one for me and Warren to do together. This is the one for me and David Carradine. I've been talking to Warren Beatty for a long time about this role, and I totally expect to make another movie with him." QT
