Quentin Tarantino discusses his new movie, institutional racism and Kill Bill 3 in a new interview.
Quentin Tarantino is less than five months away from the release of his eighth movie, The Hateful Eight, which recently released a trailer.
The director and actor sat down for a interview with Vulture, where he reveals he finished an hour of the film. Quentin Tarantino hopes the story, which takes place after the Civil War, will contribute to the discussion of institutional racism. In fact, The Hateful Eight, wouldn’t be a good movie with an A list actor such as Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. Instead, what makes The Hateful Eight a good movie according to Quentin Tarantino is that it is a true ensemble work “where nobody is more important than anybody else.”
The interview covers a lot of ground. Quentin Tarantino admits audiences are becoming more sophisticated, so people aren’t confused when they watch movies like Pulp Fiction. Instead, he argues, that audiences are more receptive to his new work and are “not befuddled” because “they get it.”
Quentin Tarantino did reveal what kind of shows he enjoys watching:
“The last two shows that I watched all the way were Justified and How I Met Your Mother. I already knew [Walton Goggins] from The Shield. You know, literally watching him for six years do faux-Quentin dialogue let me know that he’s got the right kind of tongue.”
But, Quentin Tarantino does have one issue with television. Moreover, True Detective:
“I tried to watch the first episode of season one, and I didn’t get into it at all. I thought it was really boring. And season two looks awful. Just the trailer — all these handsome actors trying to not be handsome and walking around looking like the weight of the world is on their shoulders. It’s so serious, and they’re so tortured, trying to look miserable with their mustaches and grungy clothes.”
If you’re a big Quentin Tarantino fan, the full story is worth reading. The director reveals he refuses to stream movies, and won’t stop reading newspapers. In fact, he still writes scripts with paper and pen.
The interview ends with Quentin Tarantino promising Kill Bill 3 is “not off the table.”
