I have not seen all of Scorsese’s movies, but Silence is the best thing I’ve seen that came from him. It was 2016 and I think he has been up and down his entire career, to be honest.
Isnt it a prison film? Dunno if he means prison or a POW camp.
Lets think of acclaimed minor (Or not) older actors still alive and healthy enough to do a film he might include.
Since I saw him in the Mary Poppins sequel, Dick Van Dyke still looks healthy enough to do a cameo. Warren Beatty whom he already tried to work with. Seems like everyone else whom he might have admired like a Robert Forster has passed.
Unfortuantly Gene Hackman looks every second of his 92 years. You don’t want a crowd to get angry at a cameo.
I thought it was to be about a film critic writing for a pornographic magazine. I imagine that would be set in the 1970s or thereabouts. And a female lead.
Perhaps if he does stop for a while, distract himself with something else, the best movie he could tell will come to him. And of course he’ll make it.
How reliable is Deadline about this type rumor?
It has to be said I was a somewhat relieved by this. I get Tarantino is a massive film nerd, but his last film being about a movie critic? I was skeptical. He does crime movies, really really well. He’s kinda the best in the business at portraying hit men, heists and shoot outs. Hell he probably change how criminals are portrayed popular culture at least as much as Coppola or Scorsese. Maybe I’m wrong (and I guess we’ll never know) but I can’t imagine him pulling off a movie about a film critic, no matter how much he loves the subject matter
I thought this when I first saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood as well; that it was a movie about making movies. But I had missed a key point until it was pointed out to me.
All of Tarantino’s movies are homages to movie genres. And Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is an homage as well. The genre it’s an homage to is Quentin Tarantino movies.
…without Samuel L. Jackson?
Anyone want to see Tarantino do a musical?
It would be interesting to see him do a cop movie, like Bullitt or The French Connection or Lethal Weapon. He’s always tended to focus his stories on the criminals.
Well said.
Id like to see him make a space opera adventure; “Once Upon A Time In Space”.
That could be interesting, seeing him make a twist on 2001, Star Wars, Alien etc. A new frontier for him!
Taking in a large wad of cash and never needing to work again are two very different things. The average Hollywood star, I believe, is paying several alimonies, supporting several dozen secret children, and working check-to-check to pay off usurious payday loans to Deutsch Bank and Tom Barrack.
Managing cash is a talent that doesn’t seem to correlate with having a lot of passion and imagination.
Directors need to be able to extract the best picture out of their working budget that they can so there’s probably a better chance that they’re good with money. But I wouldn’t take it as a given.
What is the source of this belief?
I want him to do a rom com.
- Most people who win the lottery end up developing an entourage, blowing through it all, and landing in debt.
- LA is one of the few locations of the Wealth Management group of Deutsch Bank - famous as one of the few groups willing to loan money to Trump. Likewise, Tom Barrack appears in both Michael Jackson and Trump’s history as a lender. The only reason to lend money to people who are bad with money, is to be able to charge them high interest rates. It’s like the First Law of Thermodynamics for loans.
- I know a person who was in regular attendance in AA in Hollywood and attests to the regular appearance of many stars.
- Likewise, the only thing that ever seems to be accurate in film is how AA meetings operate. And that’s very consistent across all TV shows and films.
- There’s a large quantity of film and TV characters in AA, compared to the norm.
- It seems to be a “generally known fact” in the region that the leads on a film set always hook up and, I suspect, a lot of hooking up in general among everyone across the production given that you’re all trapped together for several weeks, bored, and will all go separate directions at the end of it - quite plausibly, never to see one another again.
- There’s a strangely large number of surfers who don’t seem to need to do anything to make a living, spending their day from sun rise to sun set as a creature of the ocean, in the region.
- It’s rare to see a Hollywood celebrity with fewer than 3 spouses, from what I’ve ever seen on Wikipedia. Given the rumors of lots of hooking up, that those spouses seem to be former co-leads, that tracks, so I find #6 to be likely true.
- Entourages and Bottle Girls both seem to be things in LA.
- While sex sells, alcohol and drug use don’t. TV and film characters are casually partaking a significant more than the average person, regardless of who they are and what their social status or background is. One often gets a sense that the writers aren’t aware that they’re describing a way of life that isn’t ordinary.
- The reason that people join an entourage is to get access to wealth.
- Likewise, young, good looking women who would rather not work for a living have a pretty strong motive to meet someone famous and get knocked up. It’s another First Law of Thermodynamics sort of deal. There’s a gravitational force there that’s going to succeed at a higher rate than is normal for the rest of all of us.
“We’ve got hearsay and speculation, your honor. Those are kinds of evidence!”
Ergo “believe”. It wasn’t in that sentence for no reason.
Ok, man. None of your beliefs have any support and are kind of ridiculous, but you do you.
Also, since this thread is specifically about Quentin Tarantino, he has one wife, no kids, and exhibits no signs of a drug or gambling problem.
