I am a very big fan of Jennifer Lawrence: Quentin Tarantino

Los Angeles, Aug 26 () Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has confessed he is a big fan of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence.

The 52-year-old "Pulp Fiction" helmer thinks Lawrence, 25, could have done a good job with the heroine's part in his upcoming film " The Hateful Eight", reported People magazine.

"I could have seen Jennifer Lawrence doing a good job with the role. I'm a very big fan of hers. I think she could end up being another little Bette Davis if she keeps on going the way she's going," Tarantino said.

He, however, said the character he perceived was older than Lawrence's age and Jennifer Jason Leigh did a great job.

"Jennifer Jason Leigh came in and was really good. She went for a couple of things that other people just kind of playacted. She had to act like she got shot, and she just screamed bloody murder. I kept remembering Jennifer's bloodcurdling scream. If it had happened in a house, somebody would have called the cops," he said.

"The Hateful Eight" also stars Samuel L Jackson, Kurt Russell, Tim Roth and Michael Madsen.

It is scheduled to hit theatres in US this Christmas.
