Jennifer Lawrence attends the Lionsgate press room during Comic-Con in San Diego, Calif. on July 9, 2015.Jason Merritt—Getty Images by [Drew Mackie / People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Drew Mackie / People Contributor Aug 25, 2015 11:03 AM UTC [Quentin Tarantino](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:QuentinTarantino,00.html) has a reputation for casting actors in unexpected roles – [John Travolta](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:JohnTravolta,00.html) in [_Pulp Fiction_](http://www.people.com/article/pulp-fiction-20th-anniversary-casting) or [Uma Thurman](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:UmaThurman,00.html) in _Kill Bill_, for example. The director’s forthcoming film, the western [_Hateful Eight_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/12/hateful-eight-trailer), will feature [Jennifer Jason Leigh](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:JenniferJasonLeigh,00.html) in one of her highest-profile roles in years: as Daisy, the sole female member of the titular group of tough characters. In [an interview with Vulture](http://www.vulture.com/2015/08/quentin-tarantino-lane-brown-in-conversation.html), Tarantino, 52, said he could imagine [Jennifer Lawrence](http://www.people.com/people/jennifer%5Flawrence) playing the part as well. “I could have seen Jennifer Lawrence doing a good job with the role,” he said in the interview. “I’m a very big fan of hers. I think she could end up being another little [Bette Davis](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:BetteDavis,00.html) if she keeps on going the way she’s going.” However, Tarantino imagined the character being older than Lawrence, 25, and notes that he’s always been a fan of Jason Leigh, 53\. “Jennifer Jason Leigh came in and was really good. She went for a couple of things that other people just kind of playacted,” he said. “She had to act like she got shot, and she just screamed bloody murder. I kept remembering Jennifer’s bloodcurdling scream. If it had happened in a house, somebody would have called the cops.” Tarantino, who cast [Pam Grier](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:PamGrier,00.html) in the title role in 1997’s _Jackie Brown_ when she was in her late 40s, said it’s not that he’s necessarily interested in writing meaty roles for older actresses; he’s more interested in finding the right actors to embody his characters. “I actually think my characters are going to be one of my biggest legacies after I’m gone. So I have no obligation whatsoever other than to just cast it right,” he said. “I don’t really know if I’m writing the kind of roles that [Meryl Streep](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:MerylStreep,00.html) and [Julianne Moore](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:JulianneMoore,00.html) would play. [Jessica Lange](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:JessicaLange,00.html) on [_American Horror Story_](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,MediaProductsTax:TVAmericanHorrorStory,00.html) is a little bit more my cup of tea.” The director declines to commit to his next project in the interview. When asked about the long-rumored _Kill Bill, Vol. Three_, which would theoretically revisit Thurman’s character more than a decade later, he said only “It’s not off the table, but we’ll see.” _The Hateful Eight_ also stars [Samuel L. Jackson](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:SamuelLJackson,00.html), [Kurt Russell](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:KurtRussell,00.html), [Tim Roth](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:TimRoth,00.html) and [Michael Madsen](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:MichaelMadsen,00.html). It is scheduled to hit theaters on Christmas Day.
