All right, everybody be cool, this is a Pulp Fiction 30-year cast reunion

-

The cast of 1994 hit Pulp Fiction have reunited to mark three decades of the classic film.

The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards during the 67th ceremony, including nods for John Travolta for his role as Vincent Vega, Samuel L Jackson for character Jules Winnfield, Uma Thurman, who played Mia Wallace – and director Quentin Tarantino.

Other stars including Harvey Keitel, Rosanna Arquette and Eric Stoltz also arrived at the TCL Chinese Theatre to kick of the TCM Classic Film Festival with a screening of the film – which won an Oscar in the writing category.

Bruce Willis, who played Butch Coolidge in the film, was not present – having been diagnosed with frontotemp­oral dementia.

Grease star Travolta, who was supported at the event by his 24-year-old daughter Ella Bleu, said he had a “history” starring alongside Willis, referencin­g 1989 comedy Look Who’s Talking.

“With Bruce it was like being at home, it was very comfortabl­e, (he’s) just a good person. We cared for each other,” he told Variety on the carpet.

In the film about violence and redemption, 70-yearold Travolta also said he had to convince Tarantino to let him wear hair extensions for the role.

Meanwhile appearing at the 15th annual film festival in Los Angeles, Jackson said he didn’t realise that Pulp Fiction was a cultural phenomenon until the first screening.

“We were doing a film that was a lot of fun for us and a great script to do and big characters to be,” the 75-year-old said.

Arquette, who played Jody in the film, also described Die Hard star Willis as “one of the great guys”.

“I also did, with Matthew Perry and him, The Whole Nine Yards. He is just a wonderful, sweet, good, kind man, he is surrounded by so much love in his family right now, he’s just great,” she said.

Stoltz, who played Lance, said that Willis was always buying them pizza and was a great guy.
