When Pulp Fiction came out. I was in charge of getting tickets for my friends for opening night.
By noon, I called our favorite theater and every show was already sold out. Eventually, I found it playing at a big theater near Time Square that was still a single screen theater. Of course, opening day was packed with movie geeks. People started cheering during the credits.
I remember being particularly impressed with people cheering the name Ving Rhames because I didn't know who he was at that point. Pretty hip (or geeky) crowd I thought.
That was probably the most exciting movie screening I ever went to. Where the whole audience was just hyped for the movie and it delivered.
"Landa is a linguistic genius, and the actor who played him needed the same facility with language or he would never be what he was on the page," Tarantino said.
Tarantino grew so frustrated at casting that role, he was five days away from calling off the movie when Waltz auditioned.
"I told my producers I might have written a part that was un-playable," Tarantino said. "I said, I don't want to make this movie if I can't find the perfect Landa, I'd rather just publish the script than make a movie where this character would be less than he was on the page. When Christoph came in and read the next day, he gave me my movie back."
I am so glad Will Smith turned down . I think Jamie Foxx will do better job than because he already played a slave in a western already with "Wild Wild West" (which is suck) and a slave ghost in "Bagger Vance".but Will does need to broaden his roles outside of saving the world from aliens.
