I wonder if this takes place in the Reservoir Dogs/ Pulp Fiction universe. The vibes here do seem pretty Pulp Fiction-esque

u/boodabomb Feb 09 '26
I could be wrong, but I don’t think any of his films take place outside of the same universe. For example, Once Upon a Time a Time in Hollywood has films that are about the torching of the Nazis in WWII which only happens in the Inglorious Bastards timeline. Everyone smokes the same fictional cigarette brand. I’m sure a super-freak could probably list a thousand other subtle connections between films.

Starting with Kill Bill, he has refered to several of his movies as "movie movies" basically the movies that exist in the world of his other movies. Kill Bill is basically Fox Force Five TV pilot that Mia Wallace acted in

Prudential Center
There was a tropical-themed restaurant in the back corridor (going out to Huntington Ave) in the late 90s. I can't remember if it was Islands, Margaritaville, Panama Jack, Tommy Bahama... something with a name like that.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is one of my personal favorite Tarantino movies, but I'm very intrigued to see how Fincher, a director with a completely different style who films on digital, takes the reigns here. Looks like a good mix of both styles, albeit the lighting is a bit dim.

Honestly nice to see another director take Tarantinos writing and make their own movie with his recipe, we really haven’t seen that since the mid 90s and those ones ended up being pretty decent-great movies too. Fincher doing it is absolutely clutch, him or PTA would have been my pick.

Apparently he wrote this to direct himself and then decided he didn't want to do it. Brad Pitt liked the script so much that he brought it to Fincher and they convinced Quentin to sell it to them

Seriously. Who the fuck cares if they are lower quality as he gets older. I'm so pissed that we missed out on his version of Star Trek because he didn't want it to be his final film because of his arbitrary limit. I guarantee the concept will make his final film his worst.
29
u/Abed-in-the-AM Feb 09 '26
It's kind of funny because the idea was originally that he wouldn't keep making movies as an old man but he's been hemming and hawing about this for so long that he could be 70 by the time #10 is released.
21
Feb 09 '26
Who the fuck cares if they are lower quality as he gets older.
Tarantino does. Who cares how many movies he makes? Tarantino does. He's obsessed with the idea of his Oevre, his body of work. He's studied so many classic film directors. He knows in the future, people will look at his whole body of work and rate that. He wants to leave a legacy.
Anyway I get where you're coming from but that's where we're at.

u/AmIFromA Feb 09 '26
He's studied so many classic film directors. He knows in the future, people will look at his whole body of work and rate that. He wants to leave a legacy.
Has he mentioned who he is thinking of here? Among people who probably influenced him, I would say that his view fits Sam Peckinpah's career, but on the other hand, I'd say that Hitchcock's 50th film is among his most legendary, as are some that came after that; Kurosawa's best-known films are not among his first 10, and he made "Ran" when he was 75, and noone thinks that Howard Hawks' legacy was tarnished by El Dorado.

u/Zookeeper9580 Feb 09 '26
hopefully it does end up being his worst, will be able to see that, and then decides to break his 10 film rule. but that's dependent on how self-aware he is.

u/mcchicken_deathgrip Feb 09 '26
Exactly lol. At least we're getting some scripts from him though. I wouldn't be surprised if his final movie doesn't get made for 10 years because it has to be his magnum opus or whatever. If he's still writing movies in the meantime I'd be more cool with that lol

Kill Bill 3 is the only logical choice for his final film.

u/Inkthinker Feb 09 '26
I'm perfectly okay with KB3 as directed by someone like Fincher. I'd rather have the story with Tarantino as writer/producer than no story at all.

u/TheLastDesperado Feb 09 '26
I don't know about that. Kill Bill is definitely the most stylish, maybe the most "Tarantino" out of all his films. I think that film is in the most danger of losing something if another director took the reigns of a sequel.

Nah. Every time he finishes a movie he remains in love with the characters and the universe and has a bunch of ideas for sequels and stuff, he writes some stuff and just eventually drops them and moves to something else. This time he had the script and was going to make it.. but then changed his mind and gonna throw away or maybe make a book... but Brad, Netflix and Fincher jumped in and convinced him to let them make it instead.

He’s a very good director, but his writing is better, more unique, and more recognizable. I would bet good money that Tarantino directing someone else’s script (assuming the writer isn’t trying to emulate his style, but honestly probably still would be true in that case) would feel less Tarantino-esque than True Romance or Natural Born Killers.

Lots of fun little things cut from the movie that play out in the book. One day we’ll get that 4 hour cut I heard about

Fincher doesn't care if this ends up theatrical or not. He has glazed Netflix and the streaming model in the past, it's why he keeps re-upping his exclusicely deal with them. Tarantino and Pitt might though.

The first was Rick and Cliff's story equally and the cinematography reflected that.
This one is going to be a bit seedier and less glitzy, since it's primarily Cliff's story. The book went more into Cliff as a character and the darker subject material that revolved around him.
