\u2018Consequences\u2019: Tarantino\u2019s shock mum move<\/a><\/p>\nLaurent was ultimately rehired, explaining to Tarantino that she had been sick at the time of the table read and saying, \u201cI will fly myself to Germany and put myself up in a hotel. I know you\u2019re busy, but I will wait until you see me again.\u201d<\/p>\n
The French actress managed to convince Tarantino to \u201cturn the clock back\u201d and \u201creturn to square one,\u201d agreeing to rehearse with him for three days before she was given back her role as Shosanna Dreyfus.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me just go on the record for everybody to know: I love M\u00e9lanie,\u201d Tarantino said in the book. \u201cThe fact of the matter is, if we were not talking about the making of \u2018Inglourious Basterds,\u2019 I would never think about the table read again, for the simple reason M\u00e9lanie is my Shosanna. She did a wonderful job.\u201d<\/p>\n
Huppert, for her part, was dropped from the film because she \u201cdidn\u2019t show up\u201d for the table read in the first place and was replaced by Maggie Cheung, Tarantino revealed.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo f**k it, I fired her. I mean, I love Isabelle Huppert \u2014 \u2018Heaven\u2019s Gate\u2019 and all that,\u201d Tarantino said, \u201cbut there were issues with her contract. It just kept stalling. And then not coming to the table read \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
The director went on to explain that this \u201cinvariably happens,\u201d adding, \u201cAs far as I\u2019m concerned, if you\u2019re cast and you are not at that table, I don\u2019t owe you jack s \u2013 t! You can be fired, especially if I get excited by what somebody else did in your absence.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for Cheung, her scenes as Madame Ada Mimieux were ultimately cut from the movie, although Tarantino described her as \u201cfantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Inglorious Basterds went on to receive eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director.<\/p>\n
The film starred Brad Pitt as Lt. Aldo Raine and Christoph Waltz as Col. Hans Landa, with Waltz winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his performance.<\/p>\n
Tarantino has never been one to shy away from making his feelings known to the actors he works with.<\/p>\n
In May, Bruce Dern, who starred alongside Pitt, 62, in Tarantino\u2019s Once Upon a Time in \u2026 Hollywood, recalled an incident on set in which the director allegedly warned Pitt that he would be \u201cdead in this business\u201d if he ever stopped the camera again.<\/p>\n
According to Dern, 90, Pitt had called cut after Dern improvised a line during a scene, prompting Tarantino to tell him, \u201cNever again in your life will you ever cut a camera or you\u2019ll be dead in this business. That\u2019s my domain.\u201d<\/p>\n
