Sandler Turned Down Chance of Being 'Inglorious Bastard'
Speaking to Irish television, Adam Sandler confirmed he will not be appearing in Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards, instead choosing to do another movie with Judd Apatow (because Don't Mess with the Zohan worked so well):
Sandler had long been rumoured to take a major role in the Tarantino-scripted movie which the director has been planning for nearly a decade.Asked had he been in talks with Tarantino, he told RTÉ.ie: "Yeah it's true. It is, and I read the script, it's fantastic. But I'm shooting at the very same time. I won't be able to do it. I'm doing a movie with Judd Apatow at the same time so that's not going to happen, but I did read it. It is awesome."
"I know Quentin for a long time. We've been talking about doing it for years, for like five, six, seven years. Yeah, it's definitely disappointing. I'd love to do it, but I just can't."
Now where is Quentin Tarantino going to find another Jewish comedian? (There are many Jewish comedians.)
