Channing Tatum Begged Quentin Tarantino For Film Role

Tarantino went on to tell his audience that his earliest recollection of walking on that particular stretch of sidewalk dates back to when he saw the movie Diamonds Are Forever (1971). Adding to the allure is that Tarantino, along with cinematographer Robert Richardson, make the film look as if it is indeed from a previous era.

Quentin Tarantino has been honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.

The quality of The Hateful Eight as a movie is nearly secondary to the experience of seeing it in its gargantuan roadshow version – a three-hour extravaganza that includes an overture, intermission and entr’acte, just like the studio epics of old.

A blizzard forces the quartet to take shelter at a stagecoach stopover called Minnie’s Haberdashery where they encounter four strangers: Bob “The Mexican” (Demian Bichir), Oswaldo Mobray (Tim Roth), Joe Gage (Michael Madsen), and ex-Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Bruce Dern).

In a conversation with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, Tatum admitted that he bugged Tarantino repeatedly while lobbying to be cast in the film.

And his most recent project, The Hateful Eight, is considered to be one of his most ambitious movies to date. The intricate storyline unfolds and escalates into Tarantino’s signature themes of deception, betrayal and revenge. Remarkably enough, Tarantino manages to say the word “bod” a couple of times. Understated and excessive, The Hateful Eight is motivated by a righteous love of cinema that is infectious; wildly entertaining and entirely absorbing.

Take a listen to the full talk below – it’s a great one. The line went all the way down the block and at one point, as I stood in that line, I stood right here. With an obsessive attention to detail, the film is handsome from start to finish, even when the blindingly bright snow gives way to blood red stains. I don’t feel the police are all corrupt, however I do feel they are suffering from institutional racism and there needs to be a top-to-bottom examination of the way they practice and the way they criminalize young black and brown males. You nearly pulled by arm out of the socket!’

That being said, he’s not adverse to taking pre-existing material and making it cinematic.
