Quentin Tarantino Hits 60: Edgar Wright and Jamie Foxx Lead Celebrations At The London Palladium

Quentin Tarantino suggested that sex scenes are unnecessary when working on his films. The 60-year-old "Pulp Fiction" director pointed out that he includes barely any nudity in his projects because he said it’s "problematic." "It’s true, sex is not part of my vision of cinema," Tarantino told Spain’s Diari ARA during an interview.

Jamie Foxx is slowly getting back to normal.

Fans of Quentin Tarantino’s cinematic output may have noticed that there’s one area where the acclaimed filmmaker rarely visits: the bedroom.

Quentin Tarantino is opening up about why he doesn’t include sex scenes in his movies.

Quentin Tarantino has said the poor box office performance of Death Proof impacted his confidence as a director.The 2007 action-thriller stars Kurt Russell as a stuntman who murders young women with modified cars. The film grossed only $31million (£24.9m) at the box office on a budget of $30million, which is considered a failure compared to Tarantino’s other works.Speaking to Spanish outlet Diari ARA to promote his latest book Cinema Speculation, the director explained how the film’s poor reception led to him receiving more project proposals from Hollywood.“I have been lucky enough to write stories that have connected with many people, and this has allowed me to practise my art without restrictions that most filmmakers have,” Tarantino said.“Now, a funny thing happened: for a while I was getting a lot of project proposals, until the studios ended up assuming that I do my stories and it wasn’t worth the effort.

Quentin Tarantino is known mainly to the public for his many acclaimed films and multiple Oscar statues; however, with his successes, there was a time when the filmmaker had some brief lows too. Back in 2007, Tarantino’s take on the drive-in slasher genre with “Death Proof” starring Kurt Russell (“The Hateful Eight“) as a stuntman/killer, was considered one of his worst films as audiences weren’t terribly thrilled with its opening weekend and essentially became a flop.

Quentin Tarantino has explained why he rarely includes sex scenes in his film – claiming they are “not part of” his cinema.The legendary director was speaking with Catalan Spanish newspaper Diari ARA when he explored the topic, and listed the reasons why the intimate scenes don’t align with his “vision”.“Sex is not part of my vision of cinema,” he said.“And the truth is that, in real life, it’s a pain to shoot sex scenes,” he added, referring to the logistical challenges when shooting those kinds of scenes. “Everyone is very tense.”Elsewhere in the interview, Tarantino also alluded to the ongoing number of stars coming forward, sharing instances in which they felt uncomfortable while shooting sex scenes.“If it was already a bit problematic to do it before, now it is even more so,” he added.

As a comedian, musician, actor, filmmaker and father, Jamie Foxx is beyond a triple threat.  The 55-year-old actor earned top industry accolades and won an Oscar for his portrayal of Ray Charles in the 2004 film "Ray," but Foxx has been performing nearly his entire life.  His daughter, Corinne Foxx, revealed Wednesday that Foxx suffered a "medical complication" the day before, and "quick action and great care" helped guide him toward recovery. His family has not disclosed Foxx's medical issue.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Quentin Tarantino has been making the international press rounds in support of his “Cinema Speculation” book tour, recently speaking to Spain’s Diari ARA about how one of his only box office bombs shook his confidence as a film director. That bomb would be “Death Proof,” Tarantino’s 2017 stuntman action-thriller starring Kurt Russell that was released domestically as one half of the movie “Grindhouse.” The other half was Eli Roth’s “Planet Terror.” The “Grindhouse” release earned $25 million, while “Death Proof” picked up only $30 million overseas in its standalone release. “I have been lucky enough to write stories that have connected with many people, and this has allowed me to practice my art without the restrictions that most filmmakers have,” Tarantino told the publication. “Now, a funny thing happened: for a while I was getting a lot of project proposals, until the studios ended up assuming that I do my stories and it wasn’t worth the effort. But after ‘Death Proof,’ which didn’t do well at the box office and was a bit of a shock to my confidence, I started getting proposals again.”

Jamie Foxx is recovering after being rushed to the hospital following a medical emergency on Tuesday. The actor's daughter Corinne shared a statement on Instagram on Wednesday evening in which she revealed that her father had to be hospitalised due to an undisclosed medical emergency. "We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday," she wrote on behalf of the Foxx family.

K.J.

TMZ reported it happened on Tuesday morning local time, which is when Foxx was first “taken to the hospital.”A post shared by Corinne Foxx (@corinnefoxx) Foxx was in Atlanta filming a new Netflix comedy movie with Cameron Diaz, “Back in Action.” Directed by “Horrible Bosses” helmer Seth Gordon, it also stars Glenn Close, “Fleabag” priest Andrew Scott and comedian Jamie Demetriou.

Quentin Tarantino is now on the international leg of his book tour for “Cinema Speculation,” the director’s first work of film criticism. And the tour also now serves as a way for the press to, well, press Tarantino about his upcoming tenth and final film, “The Movie Critic.” With its late-1970s LA setting, many believed the titular main character could be based on Pauline Kael, the lauded long-time critic for The New Yorker who had a brief stint working in Hollywood.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.In the latest issue of Cahiers du Cinema, Lynch praised how good a “revenge movie” the film is.He said: “Tarantino’s [Once Upon A Time in Hollywood] shows how real life events could have turned out very differently. It’s a hell of a good revenge movie, done in feel good fashion”.In a five star review of the film, NME said: “It would be wrong to declare OUAT…IH to be quite so perfectly formed as Pulp Fiction, but there is no doubt that this is his most well-rounded and satisfying work since.

Ethan Shanfeld Last month, Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel went to the theater to see “Super Mario Bros.,” a movie they directed 30 years ago — and haven’t watched since. The live-action 1993 film, starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo as Mario and Luigi, bombed at the box office and landed on various “Worst Movies of All Time” lists, later developing a passionate cult following. In the directors’ own words, “Super Mario Bros.” was so “reviled” that it left a “black mark” on the married couple’s careers. That is, until a midnight screening held at Quentin Tarantino’s New Beverly Cinema “washed away the stain.”

Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, initially said in 2009 that he planned to retire once he reached the age of 60 – which he did on March 27 this year – to “go and write novels and cinema literature, stuff like that”.He reiterated that desire in 2014 during an event to promote his 2015 film The Hateful Eight (saying his post-retirement days would consist of “writing plays and books, going gracefully into my tender years”), before then outlining his 10-movies-and-out plan.“I like that I will leave a 10-film filmography, and so I’ve got two more to go after this,” he said (via Deadline). “It’s not etched in stone, but that is the plan.

Netflix has announced that a Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World anime is on the way.The streaming service made the announcement today (March 30).

Earlier this month, news broke that Quentin Tarantino was ready to prep and shoot his tenth and final film, “The Movie Critic.” THR’s story about the film describes its plot “as being set in late 1970s Los Angeles with a female lead at its center.” And almost immediately, fans speculated that “The Movie Critic” was about Pauline Kael, the late, great movie critic for The New Yorker who had a brief stint in Hollywood during the movie’s time period.

Donnie Yen has claimed that Quentin Tarantino made Bruce Lee “cartoonish” in his film, Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood.Indeed, John Wick: Chapter 4 star Yen has said that there was nothing flattering about Tarantino’s version of the deceased Enter The Dragon star on-screen in 2019 movie. The movie may have been an Oscar winner, but Mike Moh’s depiction of Lee cast the Jeet Kune Do master as being pompous on set – and getting beaten up by Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth.“Everybody is entitled to their opinions.
