ZOMG #PulpFictionSoWHITE
 
If you think about, if you recast Pulp Fiction now, it would be older than if they original made it in the 70s.

1970 to 94, 24 years
1994 to 2022, 28 years.
The film is approaching 30 years. And I would remember when the 30th anniversary was being promoted and would think 30 freakin years… What a long time…
 
Vincent Vega: Elliott Gould
He was on a roll around this time often playing disheveled characters. Comedically he's right, He would have been fantastic as a strung out Vincent.

Jules Winnfield: Fred Williamson
Cool, slick, intimidating and funny. I think his chemistry with Gould would work.

Mia Wallace: Anjelica Huston
Unique, appropriate look for the role and a strong actor.
iu

Butch Coolidge: Burt Reynolds
An obvious choice.
iu

Winston Wolf: Charles Bronson
A bit older at this point, a guy who looks like he has seen some shit and can handle it no problem.
iu


Marcellus Wallace: Julius Harris
A staple in blaxploitation cinema, all around bad motherfuckin' kingpin energy.

Pumpkin: Alun Armstrong
Nothing screams lowlife British criminal more than this guy.

Honey Bunny: Miriam Margolyes
A filthy foulmouthed lady capable of shouting down a crowd of strangers, great pairing with Armstrong.
iu

Captain Coons:
I want to hear Lee Marvin say this monologue about how he hid a watch up his ass more than almost anything. I think it would be fucking hilarious.
iu

Fabienne: Leslie Caron
Too old by a considerable degree by this point, but really embodied the sweet innocence of the character.
iu

Lance: Antonio Fargas
If you were buying heroin in the 70's, he seems like the guy you'd get it from.
iu

Jimmy: Richard Pryor
I think he would be great in the kitchen scene.

You fucking nailed it. The only thing I would change would be to make yaphet kotto play Jules
 
I could easily see casting young Keitel as Pumpkin and young Travolta as Lance back in '74
