Sometimes it doesn’t always work in life as you would like it to be. In many cases, this is not as tragic – as now shows a cast list that all the actors performed that director Quentin Tarantino would have liked to occupy for “Pulp Fiction”.
While some performers who finally made it into the film also appear on the list (such as Tim Roth as a pumpkin or Amanda Plummer as Honey Bunny), some of the main characters were actually intended for completely different mimes.
Although John Travolta once again succeeded in a memorable comeback with “Pulp Fiction” in his role as Vincent, Tarantino originally rely on his “reservoir dogs” star Michael Madsen. Travolta was only the “very, very strong second choice”.
But also Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton and even Johnny Depp would have come into question if one might believe the table flushed into the network. From today’s perspective, many other occupation ideas seem strangely, you only think of how much many scenes in the memory of the audience are linked to the faces of the ultimately jacked actor.
Even Eddie Murphy was on the occupation list
The drug dealer Lance embodied by Eric Stoltz should actually be played by John Cusack – which is difficult to introduce). But how can you explain that even Samuel L. Jackson would have been a suitable choice for the figure for Tarantino? The question weighs even more heavily on how the former video industry could think of Eddie Murphy, of all things, when it came to filling someone for Jules?
The list, almost arbitrarily put together, comes a little strange (for Jody-preferred Tarantino instead of Rosanna Arquette her sister Patricia, later “Jackie Brown” -Actrice Bridget Fonda, Pam Greier, Sofia Coppola or Jennifer Jason Leigh), so that Great film fan has to swallow deeply.
But maybe Tarantino’s career would have gone completely differently if instead of Uma Thurman (which, however, had slipped into the skin of Mia in each of her films) Marisa Tomei.
