Why is Quentin Tarantino only making 10 movies?

Charna Flam Entertainment reporter Francesca Cappucci died on March 30 in Pasadena, after a nine-month battle with stage four metastatic lung cancer. She was 64. Known for her entertainment and music reporting at KABC-TV in Los Angeles, Cappucci’s death was announced on Legacy.com. The reporter also inspired filmmaker Quentin Tarantino to name a “Once Upon a Time In Hollywood” character, the Italian movie star wife of Leonardo DiCaprio’s Rick Dalton, after her. Cappucci began her career in public affairs, making public service announcements for the KIQQ radio station (K-100). Eventually, she joined Jay Coffey for KIQQ’s morning drive show, and throughout her time, Cappucci gained fans all over Los Angeles.

Ethan Shanfeld Last month, Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel went to the theater to see “Super Mario Bros.,” a movie they directed 30 years ago — and haven’t watched since. The live-action 1993 film, starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo as Mario and Luigi, bombed at the box office and landed on various “Worst Movies of All Time” lists, later developing a passionate cult following. In the directors’ own words, “Super Mario Bros.” was so “reviled” that it left a “black mark” on the married couple’s careers. That is, until a midnight screening held at Quentin Tarantino’s New Beverly Cinema “washed away the stain.”

In this trailer for the new documentary Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, the Back to the Future actor reflects on what’s kept him active and fighting years after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. “I’m a tough son of a bitch,” he says to the camera.

“Barbie” film trailer that showcased its star-studded cast, but, more importantly, Margot Robbie’s feet. The trailer — which has been peeped more than 7.8 million times — begins with a shot of Robbie’s legs walking down a bright pink hallway in sparkly, furry high heels.Robbie, 32, slips out of the heels and enters relevé — where her toes are on the floor while her heels remain in the air — an ode to the way the Mattel doll’s feet are designed.

Honoring its predecessor. NBC’s Quantum Leap revival has often paid tribute to the original science fiction series.

is leaping back to the beginning.NBC's sci-fi action drama closes out its freshman season Monday with Ben Song (Raymond Lee) going back to 2018, answering the question of why he leapt in the first place (see: to save Addison in the future) and how the team got to where they are now. ET's Will Marfuggi was with the cast on the set in February while they filmed the season's final episode and geared up for the upcoming sophomore run.«We find Ben at the top of this episode having leapt into Ben of the past, 2018 Ben,» Lee told ET. «This is something that we haven't seen before because we haven't had an opportunity for Ben to be in the headquarters before.

Earlier this month, news broke that Quentin Tarantino was ready to prep and shoot his tenth and final film, “The Movie Critic.” THR’s story about the film describes its plot “as being set in late 1970s Los Angeles with a female lead at its center.” And almost immediately, fans speculated that “The Movie Critic” was about Pauline Kael, the late, great movie critic for The New Yorker who had a brief stint in Hollywood during the movie’s time period.

There are filmmakers whose work is undeniably singular, even if you look at a single frame of the film. Wes Anderson is one of those directors.

Donnie Yen has claimed that Quentin Tarantino made Bruce Lee “cartoonish” in his film, Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood.Indeed, John Wick: Chapter 4 star Yen has said that there was nothing flattering about Tarantino’s version of the deceased Enter The Dragon star on-screen in 2019 movie. The movie may have been an Oscar winner, but Mike Moh’s depiction of Lee cast the Jeet Kune Do master as being pompous on set – and getting beaten up by Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth.“Everybody is entitled to their opinions.

Tango, the producer of the Sundance pic Shortcomings, is continuing to set up its future slate as it has come on to adapt the subversive rom com novel Book Lovers, into a feature film based on the #1 New York Times Bestseller from Emily Henry, the hit author behind three other New York Times Bestsellers over the last three years. Sarah Heyward is attached to write the script, which will be produced by Tango.

After the release of Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood,” there was quite a bit of controversy surrounding the filmmaker’s depiction of Bruce Lee. In the film, you may remember, it’s shown that Brad Pitt’s character is able to beat up Lee in a fairly quick manner.

Apple Original Films today laid out its release plans for Killers of the Flower Moon, the Martin Scorsese-directed adaptation of the David Grann book that pairs the helmer’s two favorite leading men, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.

Variety has selected Tarantino’s best onscreen characters. In no particular order… Kurt Russell has always been an extraordinarily versatile actor, but seldom has that versatility been exploited so fully in a single role than as Stuntman Mike in “Death Proof.” As his namesake implies, the stunt man has cultivated a twisted fetish from his chosen vocation by menacing and eventually murdering young women with his 1970s Chevrolet Nova.

Tatiana Siegel On a chilly Oscars eve, Donnie Yen has just returned from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, where he was rehearsing for the Academy Awards along with a slew of fellow global superstar presenters like Spain’s Antonio Banderas and India’s Deepika Padukone. The “John Wick: Chapter 4” scene-stealer, who hails from southern China, feels good about how the following night might unfold, namely for his friend and Hong Kong neighbor Michelle Yeoh. Her victory and that of “Everything Everywhere All at Once” would be a landmark moment for Asian representation, he says.  “I’ve known her for more than 20 years, and that’s one of the reasons I’m here — to support her and share in a possible historical moment,” he says of his “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny” co-star. “And ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ has a lot of Chinese language and it talks about the Chinese heritage, which I find out has been so accepted and embraced here. So, that really warmed my heart. I’m sure hoping for Michelle.” 

Prince Harry made a surprise appearance in London on Monday, marking the first time he’s been in the U.K. since his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September.

Quentin Tarantino turns 60 today, and to celebrate the fact he was ambushed with cake by Jamie Foxx in front of 2,000 people at the London Palladium last night. Don’t go looking online for photographs of the occasion, though: the surprise came at the end of a two-night event promoting the director’s recent memoir Cinema Speculation, for which all in attendance had to turn off their mobile phones and put them into lockable pouches for the duration. Phones are famously forbidden on Tarantino’s sets, and his live appearances are no exception.

A.O. Scott this week ends his 23-year run as film critic for the New York Times and most movie people are glad to see him go. So is he.

Quentin Tarantino is reportedly set to begin working on his final film, which has been given the title The Movie Critic.According to sources at The Hollywood Reporter, the Pulp Fiction director is preparing to direct the film this autumn.Details about the film’s plot are currently being kept under wraps, but sources have described the story as being set in the late 1970s with a female lead at its centre.While it’s not been confirmed, that description suggests the film could potentially focus on Pauline Kael, one of the most influential movie critics of all time. Writing for The New Yorker between 1968 and 1991, Kael was known for her highly opinionated and brash reviews, and often got into heated arguments with editors and filmmakers.In the late 1970s, she very briefly worked as a consultant for Paramount.
