The Joe Rogan Experience
#2310 - Robert Rodriguez

But when we were doing that four rooms, here's another thing that came from four rooms. If I hadn't done four rooms, it'd be No Dust Till Dawn. When we're doing Four Rooms, he takes me into a room and he starts reading me. It's on the internet. I put it out. Him reading me the first scene of Kill Bill. This was eight years before he made the movie.

And then he said, my very first script I wrote, and I didn't get paid shit for, like $1,500, was Dust Till Dawn. And now, because of the success of Pulp Fiction, they want to make all my old stuff. And these producers have it. I didn't get paid dick. So I'll do a rewrite and you and I will go in together. You should be the director because it takes place in Mexico and you're Mexican.

So I was like, all right. That's the second time he read me a scene in 2001. There's one video where he's even younger in four rooms reading me a second version of it. So over the years, we had an office next to each other when I was writing Desperado and he was writing Pulp Fiction. So he'd read out scenes. There he is. and I would read out, show him scenes from Desperado.

And we just became friends there. He was originally gonna make Pulp Fiction for TriStar and then they passed on it because they thought, it's weird, it's long. And he went, did it for Miramax. Did he want to be the serial killer? I asked him to because I knew he liked acting and I just knew him as a person. Like a lot of times I'll cast somebody just by meeting them.

I'm going to cast you because you realize you can. There's something about them that captures you that's going to just be magnified when you put a 50 feet on screen. That's why I've discovered a lot of talent that way. So I found Salma. I just knew she was going to be it.

Burt Reynolds in Deliverance said, dude, you got the haircut of Deliverance. That was really cool. He was like, oh, wow. He just really slipped into it and he was always in character and he was always intense on the set. It was really fun to see him get to do that. He was very believable. He really enjoyed that performance. I said, dude, you're so good in this movie.
