Quentin Tarantino has a hot take on the effect that Marvel films are having on the industry and making movie stars obsolete.
“Part of the Marvel-ization of Hollywood is…you have all these actors who have become famous playing these characters,” Tarantino said in an interview during the 2 Bears, 1 Cave podcast, according to Mediaite. “But they’re not movie stars. Right? Captain America is the star. Or Thor is the star. I mean, I’m not the first person to say that. I think that’s been said a zillion times…but it’s like, you know, it’s these franchise characters that become a star.”

Tarantino assured that he wasn’t trying to put down the superhero films and that he doesn’t hate their work but he also doesn’t love them.
“I mean, look, I used to collect Marvel comics like crazy when I was a kid,” he added. “There’s an aspect that if these movies were coming out when I was in my twenties, I would totally be fucking happy and totally love them. I mean, they wouldn’t be the only movies being made. They would be those movies amongst other movies. But, you know, I’m almost 60, so yeah. No, I’m not quite as excited about them.”
The Pulp Fiction director said that his “ax to grind against” Marvel movies is that “they’re the only things that seem to be made. And they’re the only things that seem to generate any kind of excitement amongst a fan base or even like for the studio making them. That’s what they’re excited about. And, you know, so it’s just the fact that they are the entire representation of this era of movies right now.”

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.
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have a new studio named Artists Equity, and Affleck has high aspirations for it. How high? Deadline reports that at the New York Times‘ DeadlBook Summit in NYC yesterday, Affleck says he and Damon aim to produce commercial but quality films for streaming that “people remember 20 years later.” So, basically, not the “assembly line process” of Netflix and other streamers.

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‘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.

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.
