Quentin Tarantino says he initially resisted to watch Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), because Tom Hardy replaced Mel Gibson, thinking, “Mad Max without Mel Gibson? Forget that.”
“In a world where Mel Gibson exists, how can you cast Tom Hardy?”
“I even wanted to get all defiant about it and hashtag NotMyMax.'”
“Then I got a 35mm print, had it all weekend, and ended up watching it three different times.”
“okay. It's terrific. And he's pretty good at it, I have to admit.”
It’s been over 7 years without a Quentin Tarantino film & there’s no end in sight. I feel like I’m shouting into the abyss at this point: is there anyone out there? Can anyone hear me? I would give just about anything to see Leonardo DiCaprio & Quentin Tarantino reunite. It’s something about DiCaprio I really appreciate - he has a history with all of the premier directors in the game right now, just short of David Fincher. I think his bond with QT is as good as it gets. QT, if you can hear these, we could use another.
