Tarantino's next movie
Judging from this clip from Prénom Carmen, Godard could direct an action film in his sleep (…stick with it during the “rehearsal” scenes for some surprisingly energetic gunplay.)
As for Tarantino; I’d like to see him take a break from the big-budget “exploitation” thing he’s been doing for the last decade and make something closer to Jackie Brown. I’m not particularly interested in seeing a follow-up instalment to Kill Bill or any further attempts to change history through his own obsessive, pop-culture referencing sensibilities, but a genuine film about characters, that doesn’t feel the need to present itself as a major-movie event.
He’s talked before about making a crime-caper film (which he referred to as “his little French New Wave movie”), which to me sounds more appealing than a western or a musical or any other situation in which he attempts to stamp the “QT” brand all over an already recognisable genre.
A QT musical will likely have Harvey Keital singing and cursing during a 1950s rock n’ roll song though. As far as a caper though, I do have a noir screenplay around with Tarantino as the main suspect of stealing high profile film reels.
“I want him to do an original movie musical.”
Takashi Miike already did something like that, if that’s what the Tarantino fanboys here are implying.
The Happiness of the Katakuris
And that was way before Tarantino guest starred in his spaghetti revision.
So? Takeshi Miike did a musical, what does that say about Tarantino? Are you implying that the demand for a “Tarantinoesque” musical is met just because Miike tried himself on one?
I agree with a bunch of you that it’s time for his exploitation escapades to come to an end. He was at his prime in the late 90s. Jackie Brown is his masterpiece. I would love to see him do another adaptation.
What do people think would be a good book for QT to adapt?
I’d love to see him make a Sci-Fi. Just because I want to see what it would look like.
Ari Godard admitting his interest in cannon films and Chuck Norris can be found in this book
tho it could be taken with a grain of salt since he was working with them (on King Lear) at the time

I see what you mean, even though I’ve watched Inglourious Basterds more since it’s release than I have Pulp Fiction. The Basterds are indeed in a very separate universe than Shoshanna. It all works seamlessly for me because of the way the movie is ‘chaptered’ and the fact that they never meet directly.
I actually enjoy his last three inputs (Kill Bill, Death Proof and IP) more than his first three, so I would ecstatic if he continued to follow that.
