Quentin Tarantino Sued Over ‘Kill Bill’

Posted by Sara Harowitz on March 9th, 2010

Apparently Hollywood is just like high school: everyone cheats…or gets accused of cheating, at least.

Fresh from his Best Director Oscar loss for Inglorious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino is now being sued by a man who says that the quirky film director stole his concept for “Kill Bill,” according to a TMZ report.

In a lawsuit that was filed Tuesday (March 9), Dannez Hunter says that in 1999 he submitted a treatment to Miramax about a made-up character named Ren. He claims that eventually Miramax, Harvey Weinstein and Tarantino ripped-off his ideas, including the “concept/character name Ren.” Hunter says that Tarantino copied everything from Ren witnessing her mother’s gruesome murder to the knife through the abdomen, etc.

Tarantino Talks of Kill Bill 3…In 2014

Posted by Sara Harowitz on October 2nd, 2009

Kill BillBill may be dead, but that doesn’t mean the killing is over.

“Kill Bill” director Quentin Tarantino recently told an Italian talk show that he wants to do a third installment in the film franchise, it just won’t be for a few years yet, according to MTV News.

While on the talk show Tarantino claimed that, “The Bride will fight again!” However, the eccentric film director also said he wanted 10 years to pass before making the third movie, which could see it being released no earlier than 2014.

Why the big gap between films? “Two reasons,” Tarantino said, “One: I think Uma [Thurman] and I needed a 10 year break cause the first one was so hard. And second: I really love the character. And I think she deserves a 10 year release of no fighting and being with her [daughter].”

Movie Review: Inglourious Basterds

Posted by Ilan Mester on August 20th, 2009

Inglourious BasterdsIt only seemed like a matter of time before World War Two was “Tarantino-ized.” After all, it’s the perfect setting for the “Pulp Fiction” director’s self-proclaimed poetry and mind-boggling gore.

Set in the first year of Germany’s occupation of France, “Inglourious Basterds” – a film that’s loosely based on the 1978 Italian war flick “The Inglorious Bastards” – kicks off with Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (played by German actor Christoph Waltz) who’s on the lookout for Jews (he’s literally referred to as the “Jew Hunter”). One of Landa’s searches in the outskirts of France leads him to a Jewish French girl, Shoshana Dreyfus (played by the beautiful Melanie Laurent) – whose family is killed by Landa and his crew.

Simultaneously (but in a different part of Europe) Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish American soldiers to perform swift acts of retribution. And by retribution, he means Tarantino-style revenge (which translates to gore X 150).

‘Tropic Thunder’ Features Fake Trailers

Posted by andPOP Staff on May 20th, 2008

“Grindhouse” may have bombed at the box office, but it has had a lasting impression.

According to SlashFilm.com, the new Ben Stiller movie, “Tropic Thunder” will feature fake trailers. The idea is taken from the Tarantino-Rodriguez collaboration.

According to the site’s source, one of the trailers is for a faux film called “Satan’s Alley” and featured Robert Downey, Jr. (who stars in “Tropic Thunder”) and Tobey Maguire.

The fake “Grindhouse” trailers were so popular that one of them, “Machete,” is actually being made into a full-length film.

Kurt Russell to Star in Next Tarantino Flick

Posted by andPOP Staff on July 24th, 2006

Kurt Russell, star of movies like “Backdraft” and “Escape from New York,” will appear as the lead character in Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming horror movie, “Death Proof.”

Reuters reports that Russell will take on the role of Stunt Man Mike, for which actor Mickey Rourke was originally considered.

“I’ve always wanted to work with Kurt Russell,” said Tarantino at the Comic-Con International convention in San Diego on Saturday. “I think Stunt Man Mike is one of the best characters I’ve ever written.”

The film, which Tarantino plans to start making in a month, is one half of the “Grindhouse” double feature. Robert Rodriguez directed the other half, titled “Planet Terror.” That movie stars Rose McGowan.

The “Grindhouse” films, which will be shown one after the other with fake previews in between, are set to be released on April 6, 2007.
