Wow, film lovers, I've struck pure gold for
'Pulp Fiction' fans The wish list of actors from Quentin Tarantino himself.
Just
imagine for a second
Michael Madsen, the tough guy from 'Reservoir Dogs',
exchanging philosophical quips with Laurence Fishburne, our
Morpheus,
instead of with our beloved
Samuel L. Jackson. What a dynamic duo they would have been! But it doesn't end there, did you know that the role of Jules was originally written for Fishburne and not for Jackson?
And as unbelievable as it may seem, Bruce Willis, who became the Butch Coolidge we all remember, wasn't even on Quentin's radar. And what about Uma Thurman? She wasn't slated for Mia either! What would that parallel universe look like?
One funny tidbit is that Quentin had one clear rule: 'no rappers'. He repeated it more than the chorus of a catchy song. And speaking of music, can you imagine Eddie Murphy, the star from 'Coming to America', delivering the 'Ezekiel 25:17' monologue as Jules?
In the end, this trip down 'what if' lane is a reminder that the movies we love could have been very different. The truth is, 'Pulp Fiction' is perfect as it is, but it's fun to imagine what it would have been like with different casting. #BTS
