I will become a director. What are we filming? A vivid erotic fantasy in which a group of normal but interesting and emotionally stable people show up, reliably, to a weekly tabletop RPG night.
That is a dirty and farfetched fantasy right there.
The public doesn’t know how much they want escapist entertainment about escapism. It’s fresh, it’s meta, it’s a billion dollars in the bank.
Totally unfilmable though. Drat.
IT BROKE NEW GROUND
This is not a new concept!
It’s not old hat in Hollywood until it’s been done to death, so no worries there.
Do the actors need to be emotionally stable and have any experience with real tabletop RPG or can I sign up?
We’re looking to cast all method actors.
I do meth all the time, but I usually don’t OD.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to get friends to commit. I think a good thing to try would be to get people to commit for, say, 4 sessions over two months. Enough for a small story arc. Then renew after that. Much easier to get buy in (or just schedule four dates right away) rather than commit to a specific day every other week belonging to them potentially forever, especially when some friends may live far away or have varying schedules.
Start off with a one-shot. Premade characters, simple mission, no witnesses.
They eventually ask for another, so you run a second one with a cliffhanger ending. They ask for a follow-up. The hooks are in.
If you cast Salma Hayek as my costar, I suppose I’d take the role.
Actually the story goes different. There was no foot tequila scene planned, but Salma Hayek improvised it. It’s possible that with this scene, Salma Hayek started it all for Tarantino and his feet obsession
Photo taken of Tarantino watching the dailies from that days shoot:
deleted by creator
I hope she already got the gig when they were filming
Did she know or did she just guess lucky? Or, did she unleash a kink? No kink shaming. Let the man love feet. Just not mine.
He already loves your feet and there’s nothing you can do about it.
It was distracting how many feet shots there were in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
UNDERAGE FEET SHOTS
“You can’t rape feet!”
Not with that attitude
Bet it took a few takes too lol
The commercial where the nerd kid made out with the supermodel took ~30 takes.
Kubrick level of retakes most likely
Wait, was that Tarantino? TIL
Sure was!
Well. Hats off to him, he didn’t just go for his dreams, he went for his fantasy… And got it
Hats off to him
Also shoes
If he pays me like Salma Hayek - or even a fraction, I’m not picky- sure, shoes off too!
There was actually a typo, the script said “raising a toast with tequila”
Well done
He loves to go on about the differences between directors and writer-directors.
Seems pretty obvious from here, Mr. Tarantino
Wouldn’t Kurtzman and Rodriguez have had more influence in this scene than Tarantino?
It’s based on Kurtzman’s story and Rodriguez directed it, but Tarantino wrote the screenplay.
So four people dreamed of Selma’s foot in tarantino’s mouth
Dusk Till Dawn is amazing because for like an hour it’s just a kinda normal hostage/crime movie, then it’s very suddenly vampires
Yeah, it was a shock the first time I saw it
Tarantino always writes himself a role so he can say the n word or get feet pics of attractive actresses
He makes good movies though
He’s definitely one of the few directors who is grandfathered in and can still get away with stuff others wouldn’t.
That should be illegal probably wth
Based AF
Don’t hate the player…
