Quentin Tarantino Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

For years now, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been used as an example by certain filmmakers, actors, and fans of everything that is wrong with the film industry today. Because Marvel Studios’ films have been dominating the box office, there’s a feeling from some that these superhero films are pushing away smaller films and changing audiences’ expectations when coming to the cinema.

Quentin Tarantino has been on a book tour lately, doing all the interviews on podcasts and with traditional media. When Tarantino is on a publicity tour, you know he’s going to share some of his hot takes about the film industry.

Alejandro González Iñárritu (Bardo) is set to receive the Cinema Audio Society’s Filmmaker of the Year honor at the59th CAS Awards, taking placing at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown hotel on March 4.

Film fans are notoriously hard to shop for: hoarders by nature, obnoxiously opinionated, and weirdly unpredictable in our tastes. But the good news is, there are so many options for the movie lover on your gift list – so many must-have box sets, 4K discs, deep-dive books, and other essentials – that only the rich ones (and seriously, how many rich movie nerds do you know) could possibly have them all, already.

On the press tour for his new book “Cinema Speculation,” Quentin Tarantino has been vocal about his thoughts on the current state of Hollywood. Okay, to be fair: QT is always vocal about his thoughts on movies, Hollywood, and anything in between.

Simu Liu is pushing back on Quentin Tarantino’s comments about Marvel and how the films have made movie stars obsolete.

Quentin Tarantino has a hot take on the effect that Marvel films are having on the industry and making movie stars obsolete.

Quentin Tarantino‘s second book, “Cinema Speculation,” hit bookstores everywhere earlier this month, and to celebrate, the director is on a nationwide book tour to promote his work. And while on tour, QT has had plenty to say about the movies he’s made, the movies that made him, and the movies he always wanted to make.

Quentin Tarantino’s second book, Cinema Speculation, is as hard to put down as his “novelization” of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. His film education began at age 7, when he quickly warmed to the violent R-rated movies he makes today. Now, the mission for this interview was not to get Tarantino to rehash controversies for soundbites — like answering yet again what he wished he could have done to stop Harvey Weinstein’s predatory path or talking about his next film (he seems to be wistful about continuing Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth character, but maybe that is my own wish after reading how the character was fleshed out in that novelization, which makes you understand everything about his match with Bruce Lee and so much more). Tarantino’s also keeping his multi-ep TV series plan quiet, the one he dropped on Elvis Mitchell. He did say he would only ever shoot one if it can be done on film. This interview is for Tarantino’s hardcore fans, a primer to his book and a glimpse into how he became the filmmaker he did.

Quentin Tarantino made nine films with Harvey Weinstein. Looking back, he claims he didn’t get the entire picture of his wrongdoings.

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino is making the rounds to promote his nonfiction novel “Cinema Speculation” and, while speaking with Elvis Mitchell during the book tour (via IndieWire) in NYC, dished out some tiny details about the script for his tenth and final film.

In 2014, Quentin Tarantino proclaimed he’ll stop directing movies after his tenth feature. 2019’s “Once Upon A Time …In Hollywood” makes nine, so one film to go for QT before retirement.

Writing and directing a short is a potential passageway to creating a full-length feature film.

In 2014, Quentin Tarantino proclaimed he’ll stop directing movies after his tenth feature. 2019’s “Once Upon A Time …In Hollywood” makes nine, so one film to go for QT before retirement.

To this day, not only is “Taxi Driver” thought of as one of the best American films of all time, but it’s also one of the most influential. However, most of the discussion about Martin Scorsese’s thriller, written by Paul Schrader, is focused on the performance of Robert De Niro as Travis Bickle.

It’s hard to imagine a time when director Quentin Tarantino wasn’t putting together favorite lists or telling folks why he loves certain films in various interviews, some well-known and others being obscure gems. The cinephile recently put that love of filmmaking to paper with a new nonfiction novel “Cinema Speculation” that focuses on the films of the 1970s that Tarantino watched as a young moviegoer and had a lasting impact as he eventually tried his own hand at creating his own movies.

While director Quentin Tarantino (“Pulp Fiction”) is one feature film away from retirement—at least if his ten film proclamation stands— he still has many projects in the works. Tarantino’s aim when he retires is to focus on writing books and directing television projects —maybe he’ll finally make that “Bounty Law” spin-off from “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” he’s been threatening to make.

Once upon a time in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino nearly directed a “Star Trek” movie. But don’t expect him to sign up for the MCU anytime soon.

Kanye West is dominating the news lately, but definitely not in good ways. His antisemitic remarks on social media, combined with various interviews where he seemingly continues to either double down on the comments and say other inflammatory things have led to boycotts and serious business consequences for the rapper.

Kanye West continues to make the rounds in conservative media circles following his antisemitic comments. The rapper has now landed with Piers Morgan and claims Django Unchained was his idea and had originally pitched the story to director Quentin Tarantino and Jamie Foxx.

EXCLUSIVE: Paul Calderón (Pulp Fiction, Bosch) has joined the cast of the Marvel Studios Disney+ series Ironheart in an undisclosed role, Deadline has learned.

Jessica Kiang 30 years after Japanese moviegoers first heard “The Flower of Carnage,” the theme song of Toshio Fujita’s “Lady Snowblood” sung by star Meiko Kaji, it came to mainstream Western audiences via Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill.” Kaji’s sweet, clear voice sings about a “woman who walks at the brink of life and death,” and Uma Thurman slices the top off Lucy Liu’s head, where three decades before, her song had soundtracked another grievously wounded, kimono-ed beauty whose last breath is captured in full-face close-up before she staggers to her knees in the snow. The trio of Kaji’s films, including “Lady Snowblood,” playing the Lumière Festival this week, invite us to (re)visit this fascinating icon’s work fresh from the source, and find in it a bristling, innovative vitality often absent from the many movies that cite it as an influence.

This is the first time Travolta and Willis have worked together since first pairing up in 1994 for the Quentin Tarantino classic "Pulp Fiction." Travolta played a hitman in the film, and Willis played an aging boxer who killed Travolta’s character.They played two of the film's three protagonists.
