Tarantino Calls For Samuel L. Jackson!!!!!!!

“Pulp Fiction” shot him to superstardom, he had a hilarious-but-intense
role in “Jackie Brown,” and eagle-eyed supporters might have even
noticed Samuel J. Jackson behind the piano in a brief “Kill Bill”
cameo. So now that Quentin Tarantino has his much-hyped script for
“Inglorious Bastards” completed, and half the world has seemingly read
it, will he be playing the role of black? “I called him to find out if
I had to learn French or not!” Jackson laughed when we asked him this
week, insisting that he’d love to reteam with QT once again. “Because
the only black person in the script spoke French.”
In the Tarantino script, the character of Marcel is a French movie
theater projectionist who works for the film’s beautiful young female
lead Shosannna. If SLJ was to take on the part, he’d have the tall
order of reciting pretty much every line of his dialogue in the
language of love.



He said, “so do you know any black French actors?” I said, “what the
f***?!? Yeah, me!” I gave him the name of some guys. So yeah we had a
small conversation about it. We’ll see what happens. I thought the
script was a lot of fun.
