I'm seriously wondering if there will be bits of Polanski's pedophilia in the film. Knowing Tarantino, it isn't that far fetched  

Idk if the studios would have chased this so aggressively and been willing to throw a 100m budget at it in that case, even with the names attached. Who knows. We seriously need to just wait and see.

It’s Tarantino.  He can make it work.

Ykes.

His muse, right ?

It's a little dirty that they coupled this with the Weinstein thing when they're two separate things entirely. 

 

Yes, Tarantino was overzealous and reckless and egotistical, but we already knew that. 

[EmpireCity]

Yeah, that was quite the hatchet job to include that in under the guise of Weinstein.

Is anyone actually surprised that Tarantino is trash? He's extremely talented but c'mon the guy has always been skeevy at best.

[WrathOfHan]

 

This won't hurt his career or the movie at all though.

As somebody who's been on many sets this incident doesn't make him "trash." He was definitely an asshole, but there's a lot of pressure on a director. This was a case of his vision blinding him from reality.

Some honest reveals from Thurman here about a horrific crash she endured on Kill Bill that has lingered with her for life. The video is included (which Tarantino and Miramax lawyers kept away from her until now).

You sure...? I dont see this movie happening now, at least not with the big names touted around.

Hanny Boy, you are so wrong about that. 

This Manson murder film and Quentin's career are basically in a trash can right now. 

Nothing can withstand the #MeToo movement. Trust me, all the studios are gonna stay away from Quentin real soon.

Except this isn't the Me Too movement. This is different. Unless somebody wants to tell me with a straight face that Tarantino would never do this to a man, because he most definitely would. He's a maniacal filmmaker. We've known this. It's just unfortunate that it led to somebody getting hurt.

Didn't Weiner get accused of sexual harassment by one of the Mad Men writers, maybe not the best .gif to use in this situation...

 

Tarantino isn't Harvey but Quentin's career is inextricably tied to Miramax/TWC, and it seems QT confronted Harvey about his treatment of Uma only to go on and be abusive to her himself (granted in a professional context largely, but that doesn't make it okay).  It's not like the budget for Kill Bill was so shoestring that they couldn't possibly have afforded a stunt driver and the business with spitting scenes sounds incredibly personal, there's a way to go about those scenes without the underlying hostility. Would QT have treated a man the same way, maybe, but that's not the scenario here, a male actor might have decked him at some point, it's happened to other directors before when they were too much (David O. Russell), with actresses maybe some male directors think they can treat them any kind of way, feeling she can't retaliate without losing everything in a way that a male star wouldn't. And that's a conversation about gender roles in Hollywood, even if it's not strictly a sexual harassment story.

 

Is Tarantino done forever, who can say, but in the short term no actress is going to be able to work with him without getting incredible pushback. The cast being assembled was pricey but the prospects of this movie were going to be based on the reviews which probably wouldn't be so great now, so the studio is probably going to be tabling this project in 3...2...
