More often than any other filmmaker in the industry today, Quentin Tarantino somehow has the eye of a jeweler who recognizes a gem when it comes to selecting actors and actresses for his upcoming projects, at least, that’s what most people believe. The fact is that there are obviously a lot of stars that the director wants to work with, but may not get the chance at the time.
Thus, he too has to find the best out of the given pool of talent in front of him. This, in turn, has developed his creative process to not think too heavily about whether the star he wants will play his character or not, and instead, thinks of how he can make the star adapt to the role. This is something that many new and some old directors in the industry don’t understand in depth.
How Quentin Tarantino Always Has The Perfect Cast For All Of His Projects
On several occasions, the writers and filmmakers in the industry might write a character with a particular actor or actress in mind, almost like a muse. But less often than most times, the dream cast just doesn’t seem to assemble. Many directors, new or old, struggle with this, butQuentin Tarantinomay have broken the code to this problem already.
In a past interview withEntertainment Weekly, theInglorious Basterdsdirector was asked whether he creates his characters for his projects with any stars in mind. To this, he replied that he strikes the perfect balance between character design, the story of the film, and actors that would be appropriate for the roles.
Since it’s almost impossible for anyone to work with the star of their choice every single time, he does what he can with what he has. He said:
“People always ask me, “Who are actors you’d like to work with?” Well, there’s a lot of actors I’d love to work with, but I don’t think that way. I want to come up with the right combination of character and movie and actor. Usually, the opposite happens. They get the actor, and then, okay, f*ck it if it’s right or not, make it right, all right? I think that’s one of the reasons why my casting is so good, and why the actors are so good.”
Indeed, this approach has not only led him down the path of success but has also made people recognize his ability to tell a story worth remembering.
How Are Quentin Tarantino’s Movies Different?
Apart from his talent to make his entire cast adapt to their characters and into the story, there is a genius behind Tarantino’s directorial style which has made him an Academy Award winner.
Along with good character designs and developments, the filmmaker has the unique ability to branch his story into seemingly unrelated plots, but then, bring those non-linear narratives to an impactful conclusion towards the end. Mixed in with the strong use of violence and language sprinkled with pop culture references is what makes the audience fall in love with his movies.
