“Quentin, you are crazy”: Why did Stalon refuse to do 2 Tarantino’s film?

After Quentin Tarantino began his director’s career, he was found to be with the world’s greatest actors. From Tim Roth to Harvey Keithel, through Robert de Niro, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio or Uma Turman, he collaborated with many essential stars.

However, there are those who strongly refused to cooperate with QT and this is very surprising! This is the issue of Sylvester Stallon. When you know that Tarantino is a big fan of the actor, especially thanks to his role in Rambo, we can only consider this fact.

Stallone vs Tarantino

However, there is a good reason for this, and it was itself who explained it. Interrogate McLean media In March 2012, he said he had refused to have two roles in Tarantino. First of all, Stallone conducts a discussion with the director on Rambo. In the book of David Morel, First bloodThe hero finally handed the gun to the left.

Stalon’s campaign that Rambo has survived, especially the final glow of hope. “There were almost 200,000 suicides among Vietnam veterans. I said: Why should you not be taken to the end without his murder”Slim said, about the discussions around the character’s fate during the shooting.

For Quentin Tarantino it was heresy. “You are a coward. You have to kill him!”The director lit against Stallon. The latter then announced: “Quentin, you’re crazy! I want to follow you, my brother.” Given this disagreement, it was already bad for cooperation between these two artists.

Quentin, you are crazy! I want to follow, my brother.

QT failed Stalone

This will be confirmed, as Stalone will then disclose two Tarantino films he has refused. Thus, he rejected the first filmmaker’s first offer in 1997 in Jackie Brown. Quentin offered him the role of Lewis Robert De Niro. Ironically, he and Stallone appeared in the same year in the Copland credits of James Mangold’s film.

10 years later, Tarantino returned, offering him the role of a perpetrator on Boulevard De La Mort, Stuntman Mike Stuntman. Stallon’s new categorical refusal. QT then hire Kurt Russell to replace it. “I said: it’s impossible. I have two daughters. This guy, his hobby is a teenage girl in the car and against the wall. It won’t work”He replied Tarantino.

Keep in mind that the director also wanted to collaborate with Sly for Inglourious Basterds. The first version of the script was written by him in the mid -90’s.

These 3 roles finally explained Brad PittEli Roth and Til Schweiger. This scenario has been the subject of several copies, moving from a parody war film to the fresco during World War II. Then 3 large weapons were able to complete the spending saga.

Tarantino thinks about the 10th and the last film before retiring, the last hope that he sees him while working with Stalone. The latter, 78 years old, is not going to turn. It is already expected to be Tully King in Season 3 and Alarum and armor in action movies. At the moment, the release date of these projects.
