Next project - spaghetti western! Quentin Tarantino received the Lifetime Achievement Award in Rome
Quentin Tarantino received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Rome Film Festival, presented by legendary Italian horror film director Dario Argento. What's next for the legendary director? It looks like everything - spaghetti western!
During a lengthy speech at the award ceremony in Rome, Tarantino spoke about his influences, behind-the-scenes anecdotes about his films, and his respect for Italian cinema.
At one point Tarantino was asked if he would consider making a film in Italy, specifically in the famous Roman studio "Cinecitta", where the classics "Ben-Hur", "Cleopatra", "Life is beautiful" and the newer "English Patient" were filmed. , to which Tarantino responded enthusiastically.
"I would like that. I know my wife would love that. It would be special and wonderful, especially to shoot at Cinecitta. "I have to come up with the right story," Tarantino said.
The director, as someone from the 70's, recalls how in the 70's movies were still shown in cinemas, and in the 80's they were released on videotape.
"The great spaghetti western movies are great movies. There is some operational grandeur in them. They were bigger than life. "That is the number one thing I react to from Italian cinema."
Although he is not sure what his next project will be, the director revealed that he will work on some element of spaghetti western in one of his next projects.
"I have an idea. Not my next movie. It's a piece of something else I'm thinking about doing. A piece of something that's supposed to have spaghetti western in it. "I want to record it in spaghetti western style in which everyone speaks a different language than their mother tongue," Tarantino laughed.
The director recounted how his first choice to play Bill in "Kill Bill" was Warren Beatty, and how John Travolta instrumentally conceived dance moves from the famous dance with Uma Thurman in "Pulp Fiction", which although choreographed, still many ideas were presented right on the set.
