Quentin Tarantino makes himself rare. Most recently, he was sighted in bar on Milano Square in Tel Aviv, his wife Daniella Pick and the two children Leo and Adriana live in the city. He did not answer the spontaneous question of a gossip reporter, where exactly he would have spent Iran’s rocket attacks.
The world is also waiting for reliable information about Quentin Tarantino’s tenth and last film. Cardinary question: Is “The Movie Critic” now disappeared at the ideas ton of ideas or not? The director is silent and again clarifies his difficult relationship to film-on-demand platforms. Whether they are called Netflix, Prime Video or AppleTV+.
He said to the industry magazine “Slash Film”: “If you have these film channels in the pay TV package like me, and search through the list of possibilities, then you often never get to look at it. Or you actually look in, but only for ten or twenty minutes. Then do something else and decide: I don’t like it at this point!”
Favorite: “The Haunting of Hill House”
Now the 62-year-old confirmed in an interview at least his favorite in the unpopular streaming system, into which Tarantino apparently looks for “market observation”: “My favorite series is unrivaled ‘The Haunting of Hill House’, he nobodyed the much praised Atmo horror creation for Netflix by Mike Flanagan.
When he found out about Tarantino’s admission, he summarized his feelings after his colleague’s chest of his colleague with a cute “damn”. Flanagan has long been considered one of the largest neo-scary talents of the 21st century. His five so far Netflix-Series are considered “above average”, but in criticism circles is considered that “The Haunting of Hill House” is at a higher level as “The Haunting of Bly Manor”, “Midnight Mass”, “The Midnight Club” and “The Fall of the House of Usher”.
Scott Frank’s “The Queen’s Gambit” is another Netflix production that Netflix opponents Tarantino gave praise from the huge offer. This love/hate ratio with the streamers is not only in the position as a spectator. As a “author” with extensive right to the fabrics, he has allowed Netflix to show a version of his eighth feature film “The Hateful Eight” as an extended mini series with four episodes. Also at Netflix, the “extension” of Tarantino’s “Once Upon A Time … in Hollywood” is in the works under the direction of David Fincher. Here Tarantino is actively working on the script of the streaming sequel. For this, lush fee is due, which in turn keep his back free for his cinema projects.
But he strictly refuses to take over a streaming original production. In some interviews, he described (streaming) films such as “Red Notice” and “The Adam Project” with star actor Ryan Reynolds as “not relevant for film culture”. The production costs and the fees for Reynolds can be so high.
