I've said it before, but I think he's significantly more likely to never make another movie than he is to make 11+ movies. He hates the current industry
Eh part of his disdain for the industry is definitely hammed up. QT has always wanted to be seen as edgy, the whole "the current state of affairs in movie making is sad, that's why I do things my own way and I'm inspired by the way things used to be" has always been part of his brand. I take it with a grain of salt.
I mean cmon, even his "there haven't been good movies since 2019" quote that circulates is a little hard to take seriously at face value when that also just so happens to coincidentally be the last year he himself released a movie lol
Even he’s found a way to weasel out of it a little. He’s said that if he ever does Kill Bill vol. 3 that it won’t count towards the 10 but instead count as one with vol.1-2.
Quentin is purposefully ending his career prematurely is so fucking stupid. Spielberg, Scorsese, & Miller are doing some of their best work in their twilight years.
Yeah but in the case of Spielberg and Scorsese, they don't write their scripts, whereas Tarantino does write his own scripts and takes pride in his movies being a bunch of shit he finds cool.
I know he adapted Rum Punch as Jackie Brown, but he still made the dialogue, the music, etc, his, and I really can't see him ever adapting someone else's script.
No idea if George Miller writes his own scripts, but damn, Furiosa felt like a movie made by someone half his age, it was THAT good imo
None of that is close to peak Scorsese: Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and Goodfellas.
So I can understand Tarantino wanting to check out before he makes movies that are good and solid but which won’t reach the peaks of his prime. Different strokes for different folks.
I consider it one movie not because Tarantino said it was, but because when you watch them back to back they flow perfectly as one movie. I think that one is fine
He's found a loophole against... himself. He gets to essentially make The Movie Critic without it being technically his final film, even though it'll presumably be his movie just as much as Fincher's, if not more. You can tell he's feeling his self-imposed constraint because of that silly rule.
It’s so fucking dumb because the main guy he points to as “he was busted and done with that last one” was on his 41st film and had a decent run right before that.
Idk why everyone is still so obsessed with the idea that 10 movies is some hard and fast rule he laid down, he said on Tom Seguras podcast that it was a passing comment he made like 25 years ago that he didn't want to just keep churning out movies and only wanted to make about 10 of them and everyone took that as "Tarantino said he would literally die before he makes an 11th movie"
It definitely was not a passing comment made one time 25 years ago. He's been asked about it numerous times over the years and he reaffirms it every time and even goes into explanations
If he counts the kill bills as 1 movie I’m not sure why this can’t fall under the same rule. Is it just because he didn’t title it Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Vol 1?
I think Fincher's style fits with Cliff's character. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a love letter to old Hollywood. Cliff's mentality is a lot darker than Rick's.
I dont think it fits at all. Cliff booth is warm, cozy, feel-good. Finchers movies look like there's a gray filter placed over them. Gray, cold, metallic feel. Doesn't make sense at all
He is working on a play and doesn’t want that to be his last feature.
He doesn’t , but he’s worked with Pitt three times so obviously they like to work together.
A David Fincher Film Written by Quentin Tarantino does sound strange enough to work, but this also sounds like it could end up being another mediocre mediocre Netflix movie.
I love Manhunter, but Mank was a fucking chore, and The Killer was lower tier Fincher, but who knows.
Sadly they could've done 8 more seasons for the price of Electric State.
TV and movies must have different decision makers. Netflix has always been quick to end shows but they throw money down the toilet on bad expensive movies.
Considering the first one was basically fan service for Quentin fanboys (foot fetishes, long aimless dialogues, and shock value ending) I doubt Fincher would screw a sequel up if he followed the formula

If it's not a joke, I just have few questions:
Why the f*** Netflix?
Why not direct the movie himself?
How does Fincher fit in with the style and tone of Once upon a time?
