RODRIGUEZ + TARANTINO MAKE BROLIN'S UNSUCCESSFUL AUDITION TAPE

Actor JOSH BROLIN failed to win his role in new movie NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN on the first attempt - even though his audition tape was filmed by directors ROBERT RODRIGUEZ and QUENTIN TARANTINO. Brolin was shooting Rodriguez's Planet Terror when he heard acclaimed filmmaking siblings Joel and Ethan Coen were making a new movie. So, with the help of Rodriguez and Tarantino, he made an extremely accomplished audition tape - only for the Coens to turn him down. He tells industry newspaper Daily Variety, "What ended up happening is that me, Robert and Quentin created an audition tape on a Genesis camera. "Basically, we had the best-looking audition tape in the history of audition tapes, but the Coen brothers saw it and they didn't like it so they said no. "I met them in a very frustrated moment of not being able to find a guy for the part. It was the last meeting they were taking before they were going to hire a particular actor. After that meeting I got the part."
