Washington, Oct 10 (ANI): Actor Josh Brolin has revealed that the producers of his new film 'No country for old men' had first turned him away, despite the fact that his audition tape was filmed by directors Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino.

When Brolin came to know about filmmaking siblings Joel and Ethan Coen's plans for making the film, he was shooting for Rodriguez's 'Planet Terror'.

He said that he took Rodriguez and Tarantino's help in making the tape, thinking that it would win him the acting deal from the Coens. However, it failed to impress the producers.

"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," Contactmusic quoted him as telling the Daily Variety.

Brolin said that he eventually got the role, but not because of the tape.

"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," he added. (ANI)
