What an unexpected surprise he just gave us Quentin Tarantinosince the filmmaker has just made the death of rick daltonthe character who Leonardo Dicaprio he played in ‘Once upon a time… in Hollywood’, at the age of 90.
all thought
The also head of titles such as ‘Pulp Fiction’ and ‘The Hateful Eight’ has made this announcement on his podcast ‘The Video Archives’announcing a special installment of it for this coming Tuesday in which he will review some of Dalton’s best roles.
It is to be hoped that there he will delve a little into Dalton’s life after the events seen in ‘Once upon a time… in Hollywood’, and also that he will have it thoroughly prepared, because a couple of years ago he revealed in the podcast of Jeff Goldsmith who had written a book about the character’s movies:
It’s written as if Rick was real. You know, they have ‘The Films of Charles Bronson’ and ‘The Films of Anthony Quinn,’ well, it’s done like that, with synopsis and then some critical quotes from the time, and the book goes through each of the films from Rick that he did, until the end of his run in 1988, I think, and every single one of his television episodes.
Already then he commented that Dalton and Cliff Booth made the movie ‘The Fireman’ a decade after what happened in ‘Once upon a time… in Hollywood’, so it is hoped that the podcast will also clarify what happened to the character of Brad Pitt. In fact, about ‘The Fireman’ he already commented all this at the time:
The protagonist was in the Vietnam War and became a policeman. And then he starts to see a whole bunch of bad apple cops who are killing these guys and they’re completely corrupt, and they end up killing his partner, played by a very young Samuel L. Jackson. So Rick attacks these bad cops, dresses up as a fireman, takes his flamethrower and goes and burns them all…
No surprises if this unexpected movement is nothing more than a way of announcing that this book about Rick Dalton is going to end up being published.but hey, it’s always good to listen to Tarantino talk about cinema, even more so if it’s about his own work.
