LOS ANGELES, April 20: Hollywood icons John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, and Harvey Keitel came together to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Quentin Tarantino’s groundbreaking film “Pulp Fiction” at the TCM Classic Film Festival. The star-studded reunion took place on Thursday at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, where the cast members and fans gathered for a special screening of the iconic 1994 movie.

Joining the celebrated quartet were fellow cast members Phil LaMarr, Burr Steers, Frank Whaley, Eric Stoltz, and Julia Sweeney, adding to the nostalgic atmosphere of the event.

Reflecting on the enduring impact of “Pulp Fiction,” Travolta expressed his joy at celebrating the film’s milestone anniversary, describing it as a timeless classic that changed the course of cinema history. Jackson echoed Travolta’s sentiments, highlighting the film’s groundbreaking dialogue, theatricality, and the dynamic chemistry between the characters portrayed by him and Travolta.

However, one notable absence from the event was Bruce Willis, who played the role of struggling boxer Butch Coolidge in the film. Willis, who retired from acting in 2022 due to his diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia and aphasia, was represented by his wife Emma Heming Willis, and daughter Tallulah Willis, who received applause from the audience in his absence.

During the event, Keitel, who spoke onstage before the screening, reminisced about his experience working with Tarantino and praised the filmmaker’s artistic vision and influence on the industry. Keitel’s remarks included a playful analogy to MAGA hats, drawing laughter and applause from the audience.

While Tarantino himself did not attend the reunion, the event served as a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of “Pulp Fiction” and its impact on cinema, with cast members and fans alike coming together to celebrate the film’s cultural significance and lasting influence.
