Quentin Tarantino, love him or hate him? I just like him. The Onion has breaking faux news on his next project, a homage to the director’s favorite films from his own filmography. Here is an excerpt:
While attending a European press junket Monday for his film Inglourious Basterds, director Quentin Tarantino announced that his next project, Jack Rabbit Slim, will go into production this fall, and will be an homage to his favorite director and screenwriter of all time: Quentin Tarantino.
“I’ve been a Tarantino fan for as long as I can remember,” said Tarantino, who repeatedly referred to his hero as “The Master.” “Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown—those movies were basically my film school. I mean, the ability to take a genre or a subgenre, embrace it to its core, and then blow it up and make it your own is something that has to be admired.” “We’re talking about the quintessential writer-director of our time,” Tarantino added.
