Quentin Tarantino has revealed the movie role he wrote with comedian Adam Sandler in mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Tarantino and filmmaker Judd Apatow recently spoke to Bill Maher for his \u201cClub Random\u201d podcast, with Tarantino talking about his hopes to have Sandler play Sergeant Donny \u201cThe Bear Jew\u201d Donowitz in his 2009 movie \u201cInglourious Basterds,\u201d Variety reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Tarantino said he wrote the role for Sandler, but filming was set for the same time as Apatow’s \u201cFunny People.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Apatow had secured Sandler for his film a year and a half beforehand, Variety reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This, Tarantino said, became an issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cHere’s the problem. [Apatow] wrapped up all the good Jews [for \u2018Funny People\u2019]. That was the problem,\u201d Tarantino said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He continued: \u201cSeth Rogen and all the good Jews were doing ‘Funny People.’ I’m killing Hitler with baseball bats and there’s no good Jews available, David Krumholtz, nobody. All the good Jews were all wrapped up, I’m doing the Jewish male fantasy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
