Quentin Tarantino: I’ll Never Work For Disney Again

It seems Quentin Tarantino’s anger has not cooled over his public fracas with Disney in December 2015.

The writer-director claims that his recent film ‘The Hateful Eight’ had been scheduled to screen at Hollywood’s illustrious Cinerama Dome cinema at the end of last year.

However, the Dome instead hosted mega-blockbuster ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ at the Dome, and Tarantino - never one to hold his tongue - has claimed this was due to pressure from Disney.

Subsequent reports have claimed Tarantino got his facts wrong, and ‘The Force Awakens’ had always been scheduled to screen at the Dome, but the filmmaker is having none of it.

Tarantino tells the NY Daily News, “They f***ed me over. I would never work (with Disney) in any way, shape or form after what they did to me…

“I made them a lot of money for ‘Pulp Fiction,’ and that really is a bad way to treat a former employee who has worked very well for them.“

Disney owns Miramax, the film label previously run by producers Harvey and Bob Weinstein, for whom Tarantino produced his first four films, including his Oscar-winning 1994 hit ‘Pulp Fiction.’

The producers have subsequently formed The Weinstein Company, for whom Tarantino made ‘The Hateful Eight.’

The filmmaker had previously claimed in an interview with Howard Stern that Disney had pressured Arclight - the cinema chain who own the Cinerama Dome - into dropping ‘The Hateful Eight’ by threatening to pull ‘The Force Awakens’ from its entire chain.

Tarantino also claims had made his 70mm western “for the Dome.”
