No thanks : Quentin Tarantino has revealed he had wanted Jennifer Lawrence (pictured earlier this month) to star in his Western blood bath, Hateful Eight
The From Dusk To Dawn director wanted Jennifer to play Daisy, one of only two characters he did not create for a specific actor.
Knew the answer: While the star agreed to meet the director (pictured December 10) for lunch, he knew 'there was just no f**king way in the world that she was available'
The controversial cinematographer said; 'I'm a huge Jennifer Lawrence fan.
'I can see her doing a good job with this role, so we went to talk about it and everything.
'She was just doing me a courtesy to see me, I think. She was doing Joy. She had to do all this publicity on the Hunger Games movies. There was just no f**king way in the world that she was available.'
In the end it turned out for the best, as Quentin says the 25-year-old would have been too young.
'I'm glad I didn't cast somebody that young. I think I absolutely positively made the right choice, as far as the ages of the characters.'
In the end, the director cast another Jennifer - Jennifer Jason Leigh - who plays Daisy Domergue an insane felon who fugitive shackled to a bounty hunter played by Kurt Russell.
Meanwhile Jennifer Lawrence, was home for the holidays in her native Louisville, Kentucky.

The actress met a number of patents and chatted to their families as well.
