Tarantino: Films made for streaming 'don't exist'

Legendary auteur Quentin Tarantino says he’s exiting the filmmaking trade, partially, as a result of he doesn’t need to make films for streaming companies like Netflix.

In an interview with Deadline, the Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Canines director stated that there’s little level in making a film that goes direct to steaming as a result of “no-one even is aware of it’s there.”

Within the stinging feedback, Tarantino referenced Ryan Reynolds’ offers with streaming companies that he claims pay the actor as much as $50 million every.

“I imply, and I’m not choosing on anyone, however apparently for Netflix, Ryan Reynolds has made $50 million on this film and $50 million on that film and $50 million on the following film for them. I don’t know what any of these films are. I’ve by no means seen them. Have you ever? However these films don’t exist within the zeitgeist. It’s nearly like they don’t even exist.”

Tarantino reckons his subsequent image, referred to as the The Film Critic, will likely be his final theatrical launch and he needs to work with Sony as a result of they’re dedicated to placing films in theatres, reasonably than leveraging titles for streaming.

“I imply, what even is a movement image anyway anymore? Is it simply one thing that they present on Apple? That might be diminishing returns.

“I’m in all probability going to be doing the film with Sony as a result of they’re the final recreation on the town that’s simply completely, totally, dedicated to the theatrical expertise. It’s not about feeding their streaming community,” he stated.

“They’re dedicated to theatrical expertise. They choose success by asses on seats. And so they choose success by the flicks getting into the zeitgeist, not simply making a giant costly film after which placing it in your streaming platform. Nobody even is aware of it’s there.”
