Tarantino attempted to cast both Kal Penn and Sylvester Stallone in "Death Proof", but both were unable to work due to prior commitments. In an interview, Tarantino revealed that he decided to cast Kurt Russell as the killer stunt driver because "for people of my generation, he's a true hero...but now, there's a whole audience out there that doesn't know what Kurt Russell can do. When I open the newspaper and see an ad that says 'Kurt Russell in "Dreamer",' or 'Kurt Russell in "Miracle",' I'm not disparaging these movies, but I'm thinking: When is Kurt Russell going to be a badass again?"
