Quentin Tarantino gets star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

The Revenant has already been downloaded over 740,000 times, while The Hateful Eight has racked up about 570,000 illegal downloads. The copy that’s out there is likely the screener recently sent out to members of the Academy for awards consideration, although no watermarks appear on the image.

Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight”, which was almost scuttled by the director early past year because of a script leak, is also there, joined by the Leonardo DiCaprio revenge thriller “The Revenant“.

In addition to the hundreds of fans on hand were friends and collaborators through the years, including Zoe Bell, Demian Bichir, Clifton Collins, Jr., Walton Goggins, Pam Grier, Jennifer Jason Leigh, James Parks, Tim Roth, Craig Stark, director Edgar Rice, and his longtime partner in crime, Samuel L. Jackson. “And they’re all blaming each other for the apocalypse”.

Tarantino indicated he did not expect the prime placement his star (#2,569) got. “This is a real, real groovy day”.

“As far as I’m concerned they started it”, Tarantino said Friday. He said that Tarantino was just one of a kind because of how he looks at filmmaking in his own special way, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Tarantino found himself on the receiving end of calls for boycotts from the NYPD, LAPD, Philadelphia PD, and the National Association of Police Organizations after his remarks at an anti-police rally in New York City on October 24. He was holding a blown-up photograph of Justin Smith, an Oklahoma man killed in police custody in 1999 after spitting on cops, and said, “when I see murders, I do not stand by…”

The Hateful Eight, Tarantino’s latest blood-and-violence drenched epic, opens Christmas Day, so Monday’s ceremony was convenient for drawing attention.
