Not sure what happened here, I posted this just after it popped up on the Empire site and it’s disappeared! None of us know why, so I’m going to try again!
Michael Madsen has possible let slip some of the casting for Quentin Tarantino‘s movie Inglorious Bastards. Considering there have been so many wild suggestions out there, this one sounds a bit more down to earth.
“It’s myself and Tim Roth, Adam Sandler, and Eddie Murphy.”
Woa! Eddie Murphy? Well he’s really had a run of poor films for some time now, okay maybe he is popular with the kids, but this is Murphy who came to fame as a cop with the foulest but funniest mouth we’d heard from in ages. He has some excellent timing, he can act and he has screen presence, he just needs some good roles. If it is Murphy in this movie then perhaps Tarantino can give him a kick start in the career department as he has done for so many others, Travolta included.
I think this nothing but good, Murphy has moments of excellence on screen and he just needs a decent script and director to push him a bit, stop him resting on his disney churn. What do you think?
