Quentin Tarantino on Hollywoodin yksi mielenkiintoisimmista persoonista. Seuraavaksi tulossa näyttäisi kuitenkin olevan elokuvan sijaan kirja.
Teos kertoisi toisesta maailmansodasta palaavasta veteraanista, johon kotimaiset elokuvat eivät enää tekisikään vaikutusta 1950-luvun Yhdysvalloissa. Heppu ihastuukin sitten ulkomaalaisiin elokuviin, kuten Kurosawan ja Fellinin teoksiin.
Idea sinänsä ei kuulosta kovinkaan kiinnostavalta, mutta Tarantinon käsittelyssä tuntuu tarina kuin tarina muuttuvan kiinnostavaksi.
"Right now, I'm working on a book. And I've got this character who had been in World War II and he saw a lot of bloodshed there. And now he's back home, and it's like the '50s, and he doesn't respond to movies anymore. He finds them juvenile after everything that he's been through. As far as he's concerned, Hollywood movies are movies. And so then, all of a sudden, he starts hearing about these foreign movies by Kurosawa and Fellini...And so he's like, 'Well, maybe they might have something more than this phony Hollywood stuff.' So he finds himself drawn to these things and some of them he likes and some of them he doesn't like and some of them he doesn't understand, but he knows he's seeing something."
