Happy 60nd Birthday, Quentin Jerome Tarantino  (March 27th, 1963)

[screenwritinggym]

Filmmaker Quentin Jerome Tarantino (born March 27, 1963) - Watch this - Apocalypse EXPLAINED - READ the Synopsis - Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

This movie is a high-stakes sci-fi adventure that merges the worlds of Transformers with human characters. It kicks off with Unicron, a planet-consuming entity, attacking the Maximals’ homeworld. The Maximals, led by Optimus Primal, flee to Earth with a powerful Transwarp Key, pursued by Unicron’s heralds, the Terrorcons.

The story then shifts to Earth in 1994, focusing on Noah Diaz, who unwittingly encounters the Autobot Mirage disguised as a Porsche. Concurrently, museum intern Elena Wallace discovers the Transwarp Key hidden in an ancient statue. This discovery sets off a chain of events as the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, and the Terrorcons arrive on Earth to retrieve the key.

The conflict escalates as battles ensue, leading to revelations about the key being split in two halves to prevent Unicron’s access. Elena and the Autobots embark on a mission to find the second half in Peru, facing the threat of Scourge corrupting their allies and attempting to unleash Unicron.

Noah, initially aiming to protect Earth by destroying the key, eventually allies with Optimus to prevent Unicron’s invasion. A massive battle unfolds between Autobots, Maximals, and the Terrorcons. Noah, aided by Bumblebee and using an exo-suit fashioned from Mirage’s damaged body, plays a crucial role in the conflict.

In a dramatic climax, Optimus sacrifices himself to stop Unicron, but Noah and Primal manage to save him and thwart Unicron’s plans, leaving the Autobots stranded on Earth. The conclusion sees the Autobots accepting Earth as their new home, Noah finding unexpected opportunities, and the promise of continued protection for Earth.

The mid-credits scene hints at Noah’s resourcefulness in repairing Mirage, showcasing his growing connection to the Autobots’ world.

Happy Birthday Quentin Tarantino!

On March 27, 1963, Quentin Jerome Tarantino was born in Knoxville, TN. I could easily write a ton about what a big influence he was on me (just look at my short film To Be John Woo), how much I have watched and re-watched all of his films, read his books, saw him in a play, and enjoy listening to his Video Archives podcast. But today I thought for his 60th birthday it’d be cool to look back at his very directorial debut - yes, he did this before Reservoir Dogs.

His earlier guerrilla-style indie effort My Best Friend’s Birthday was shot this with his friends on and off from 1985 to 1987 on black and white 16mm film. Some of the film was damaged in processing, so all that exists is 36 min. A few years ago, I was shopping at Kim’s Underground Video and came upon the bootleg to end all bootlegs: a DVD of early works like The Dirk Diggler Story from PTA, the original short of Bottle Rocket from Wes Anderson, and My Best Friend’s Birthday. There’s a lot of stuff in QT’s film that eventually found its way into True Romance and even Reservoir Dogs. While it’s not his best movie by any means, it is worth seeing to see how far he’s evolved since this and what he was capable of doing on a low budget. QT was on a podcast about two years ago and he said the greatest testament to him as a filmmaker or maybe as a human being was the fact that he didn’t give up or get discouraged after the setbacks and problems with this project that was never actually completed.

This date in rock music history…

March 16th

2019 - Dick Dale

American rock guitarist Dick Dale died of heart failure at the age of 81. He was known as The 'King of the Surf Guitar'. He pioneered and created what many call the surf music style.

The bootleg copy of the audio from the group's gig on November 16th 1971 was picked up for just 'two or three pounds' by music fan Vic Kemp who said 'I was going through a stand of CDs at the car boot at Portman Road and the guy who was selling them said, 'You might be interested in this. It must have been recorded by someone standing at the front with a microphone. You can hear Robert Plant talking to the audience quite clearly.'

1992 - Metallica

During a Metallica gig at Orlando Arena fans dangled an usher by his ankles from the balcony as trouble broke out at the concert. The band were charged $38,000 (£22,353) for repairs and cleaning after the audience trashed the building.

'Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay', became the first posthumous No.1 single in US chart history and sold over four million copies worldwide.

When pressed by American journalists in 1966 to reveal the song's 'true' meaning, Paul McCartney stated 'I think you can put any interpretation you want on anything, but when someone suggests that 'Can't Buy Me Love' is about a prostitute, I draw the line'.

1959 - The Platters

Doo-wop group The Platters scored their only UK No.1 hit with 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes' (also a US No.1 hit). The song was a show tune written by American composer Jerome Kern and lyricist Otto Harbach for their 1933 musical Roberta. Paul Whiteman had the first hit recording of the song in 1934.

Quentin Tarantino

Quentin Jerome Tarantino; es un director, escritor, productor y actor cinematográfico. Nació el veintisiete de marzo de mil novecientos sesenta y tres (1963), en Knoxville, Tennessee. 

Es hijo de Tony Tarantino; actor y músico amateur y Connie McHugh; una enfermera. 

Su padre es de ascendencia italiana y su madre es de ascendencia inglesa, irlandesa y alemana. 

Fue criado por su madre, ya que sus padres se separaron antes de nacer. 

Cuando tenía dos años, se trasladaron a Torrance, al sur de Los Ángeles y más tarde al barrio de Harbor City, donde tomó clases de Teatro. 

En su barrio había una mezcla de gentes de diferentes procedencias, por lo que tuvo expuesto a una gran variedad de influencias cinematográficas y de culturas populares, origen del peculiar estilo de sus películas. 

Asistió al Insitituto de Narbonne durante un año, pero la abandonó para dedicarse tiempo completo a tomar clases de interpretación. 

Se puso a trabajar en un videoclub en Manhattan Beach, junto a otros entusiastas del cine, entre ellos Roger Avary. Allí discutían de cine y daban recomendaciones a los clientes. 

Prestó mucha atención a los tipos de películas que le gustaba alquilar a la gente y ha citado la experiencia como fuente de inspiración para su carrera como director. 

En mil novecientos noventa y uno (1991), escribió el guion de la que sería su primera película; Reservoir Dogs. Su objetivo era rodar la película de forma casera y con amigos. Al final, el famoso productor Lawrence Bender se interesó por el proyecto y en un mes lo convirtió en una película seria, consiguiendo un reparto excepcional. 

Reservoir Dogs; fue un éxito a nivel mundial y el nombre de Tarantino empezó a sonar entre la gente de la industria. 

Con su segunda película; Pulp Fiction, se consagró definitivamente como cineasta, ganando el Oscar al mejor guion original en mil novecientos noventa y cuatro (1994). 

Tras esto, dirigió el cuarto episodio de Four Rooms, The Man From Hollywood, un homenaje a Alfred Hitchcock. 

Su tercera película fue Jackie Brwon, en mil novecientos noventa y siete (1997), protagonizada por Pam Grier, un icono de los años setenta. 

Había planeado hacer a continuación una película bélica provisionalmente titulada Inglorious Basterds, pero lo pospuso para escribir y dirigir Kill Bill, una película de venganza que tomaba elementos del cine de artes marciales y del spaghetti western. La película se basó en el personaje de la novia y en una trama que Uma Thurman y él habían desarrollado durante el rodaje de Pulp Fiction. 

Su siguiente proyecto fue GrindHouse, codirigida junto a su amigo Robert Rodríguez y estrenada en dos mil siete (2007). 

Tarantino dirigió el segmento titulado Death Proof. Aunque se considera una obra menor del director, tuvo muy buena acogida. 

A continuación, llegó la película Malditos Bastardos; una historia sobre un grupo de soldados en la Francia ocupada por los Nazis durante la segunda guerra mundial. La película se estrenó en dos mil nueve (2009), cosechando críticas muy positivas y llegando al primer puesto de recaudación mundial. Es la película de Tarantino que mayor recaudación ha conseguido, tanto en los Estados Unidos, como en el resto del mundo. 

En dos mil once (2011) comenzó la producción de Django Unchained (Django desencadenado). La película surgió del deseo de Tarantino de hacer un spaghetti western en el sur profundo de Estados Unidos. Para el papel protagonista se rumorearon Will Smith (Willard Carroll Smith, Jr.) e Idris Elba (Idrissa Akuna Elba), pero finalmente fue Jamie Foxx (Eric Marlon Bishop) quien la interpretó. 

Con esta película de Django desencadenado, Tarantino consiguió su segundo Oscar, repitiendo el premio de mejor guion original. 

Quentin Tarantino.

En noviembre de dos mil trece (2013), Quentin comentó que estaba trabajando en un nuevo western. Se reveló que su título sería The Hateful Eight. La producción debió haber empezado en verano de dos mil catorce (2014). Pero tras filtrarse el guion, Tarantino barajó la posibilidad de no hacer la película y publicar una novela en su lugar. 

Al final el proyecto siguió adelante, y los odiosos ocho (The Hateful Eight) se estrenó en en dos mil quince (2015). Fue un éxito y la primera película de Tarantino que tiene una banda sonora original, compuesta por Ennio Morricone, que logró ganar el Oscar. 

Después de los odiosos ocho, Tarantino presentó al mundo su siguiente proyecto, produciendo esta vez una película mezclada entre comedia y drama, escrita y dirigida totalmente por él. En mayo de dos mil diecinueve (2019) se estrenó la película Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (Había una vez en Hollywood para México), protagonizada por Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio y Margot Robbie, entre otros. 

Con esta película; Había una vez en Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino se ganó otro Oscar, entre otros premios más, como el BAFTA y el Globo de Oro. 

Como guionista, Tarantino escribió varias películas conocidas, como Ases Calientes, Abierto hasta el amanecer o Natural Born Killers, aparte de las suyas propias. 

También hace cameos en todos sus proyectos y sale como actor en varias películas de Robert Rodríguez. Nunca ha estado casado, ni ha tenido hijos, aunque mucha gente lo ha juntado con la actriz Uma Thurman. Siempre negaron los rumores, pero la verdad es que no dejan de aparecer. 

Sus proyectos se caracterizan por una narración desordenada, una violencia estética y una banda sonora compuesta por canciones que elige él mismo. 

Según sus propias declaraciones, cuando acabe su décima película, se retirará definitivamente del mundo del cine. 

Con rumores de una posible tercera parte de Kill Bill y si cumple su palabra, a Tarantino le queda solamente una película que aportar a la historia del cine. La esperamos impacientemente.

Un nouvel article a été publié sur https://www.rollingstone.fr/django-zorro-tarantino/

Tarantino donnera-t-il suite à "Django Unchained" ?

Alors qu’il vient de présenter Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood à Cannes, Quentin Tarantino aurait de nouvelles envie de Far West…

C’est le site américain Collider, relayé par le très sérieux IndieWire, qui vient d’évoquer la rumeur : Quentin Tarantino serait en train d’adapter la bande-dessinée Django/Zorro, à l’aide du comédien et auteur Jerome Carmichael.

Les fans de Django Unchained, septième film du sulfureux cinéaste américain, connaissent très certainement l’existence de cette bande-dessinée, les autres moins : parue entre 2014 et 2015 (soit près de deux ans après le film), Django/Zorro, créée par Tarantino lui-même et Matt Wagner, était une suite directe au long-métrage, mettant en scène un Django en fuite vers l’Ouest, croisant la route d’un certain Don Diego de la Vega à qui il prête main forte lors d’une mission de sauvetage.

Un pitch pour le moins original, un format qui l’est tout autant pour donner suite au plus gros succès de Tarantino (un peu plus de 377 millions d’euros de recettes à travers le monde), qui ne réaliserait pas l’adaptation évoquée depuis quelques jours. Partenaire privilégié du réalisateur, Sony n’a pour le moment pas confirmé travailler sur le projet avec lui. En novembre 2014, le piratage de Sony Pictures Entertainment révélait déjà des échanges de mails entre Tarantino et l’ancienne patronne Amy Pascal, qui se disait déjà très excitée par l’idée.

[justforbooks]

Quentin Jerome Tarantino was born on March 27, 1963. He is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and actor. His films are characterized by nonlinear storylines, dark humor, aestheticization of violence, extended scenes of dialogue, ensemble casts, references to popular culture and a wide variety of other films, eclectic soundtracks primarily containing songs and score pieces from the 1960s to the 1980s, alternate history, and features of neo-noir film.

Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, Tarantino grew up in Los Angeles. He began his career as an independent filmmaker with the release of Reservoir Dogs in 1992, a crime thriller film which was funded by money from the sale of his screenplay True Romance (1993). Empire magazine hailed Reservoir Dogs as the "Greatest Independent Film of All Time". His second film, Pulp Fiction (1994), a crime comedy, was a major success among critics and audiences and won him numerous awards, including the Palme d'Or and the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. He wrote the screenplay for the horror comedy film From Dusk till Dawn (1996), in which he also starred. Tarantino paid homage to the blaxploitation films of the 1970s with Jackie Brown (1997), an adaptation of Elmore Leonard's novel Rum Punch.

In 2003, Tarantino delivered Kill Bill: Volume 1, a stylized "revenge flick" in the cinematic traditions of kung fu films and Japanese martial arts; Volume 2 followed in 2004. Tarantino next directed the exploitation slasher film Death Proof (2007), part of a double feature with Robert Rodriguez released in the tradition of 1970s grindhouse cinema, under the collective title Grindhouse. His long-postponed Inglourious Basterds (2009) tells an alternate history of Allied forces in Nazi-occupied France, and was released to favorable reviews; it was followed by Django Unchained (2012), a Spaghetti Western set in the Antebellum South, to further critical favor, winning him his second Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. His eighth film, The Hateful Eight (2015), was a long-form Western initially screened in a 70 mm roadshow theatrical release. His ninth film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), recounts an alternate history of events surrounding the Tate–LaBianca murders.

Tarantino's films have garnered both critical and commercial success as well as a dedicated cult-following. He has received many industry awards, including two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, four Golden Globe Awards, and the Palme d'Or, and has been nominated for an Emmy and five Grammys. In 2005, he was included on the annual Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world. Filmmaker and historian Peter Bogdanovich has called him "the single most influential director of his generation". In December 2015, Tarantino received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contributions to the film industry.
