UPDATE, 1:16 PM: Just under a year after it all started, Miramax and Quentin Tarantino have pulled the plug on their legal face-off over Pulp Fiction NFTs
“The parties have agreed to put this matter behind them and look forward to collaborating with each other on future projects, including possible NFTs,” the Bill Block-led studio and the Oscar winning filmmaker said in a joint statement today. No details of the settlement between the parties was made public, but clearly Mirmax has not stopped Tarantino from selling NFTs – which aren’t exactly capturing the big bucks they were just a year ago
Also worth noting that Tarantino’s last film, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood was produced by Columbia Pictures and released by Sony in 2019.
In a surprisingly lawsuit launched in November last year, Miramax took its one-time golden boy to federal court in California to shut down Tarantino’s expressed desire to sell one of kind digital tokens from his acclaimed 1994 film. The once Weinstein ruled studio asserted they owned almost all the rights to Pulp Fiction.
A point Tarantino and his lawyer Bryan Freedman disputed.
As recently as earlier this summer, Tarantino stated in court filings of his own that the NFT he was putting to market did not counter any Pulp Fiction copyright Miramax has. Noting the NFTs were images based on the Pulp Fiction screenplay not the actual film, Tarantino asked the court in June to toss out Miramax’s case.
Now that is all a moot point, or as Samual L Jackson says in Pulp Fiction: :If my answers frighten you, then you should cease asking scary questions.:

Quentin Tarantino and Miramax have reached a settlement in their legal battle over his plan to sell non-fungible tokens (NFTs) related to Pulp Fiction. Studio executives sued the Pulp Fiction director in November 2021 over his desire to sell unique digital tokens based on his 1994 film.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Quentin Tarantino and Miramax have put aside their differences over an NFT auction of screenplay excerpts from “Pulp Fiction.” The studio filed a lawsuit last November seeking to block the director from going ahead with the sale. At the time, Miramax said it was pursuing its own strategy to capitalize on NFTs — non-fungible tokens — and it argued that Tarantino’s auction would interfere. In the end, Tarantino went ahead with the first of seven planned auctions. But after selling the first NFT for a reported $1.1 million, the remaining six auctions were canceled due to “extreme market volatility.”
After a contentious lawsuit erupted between filmmaker Quentin Tarantino and his former studio Miramax over Tarantino’s decision to release a series of “Pulp Fiction” NFTs, with both sides firing off heated arguments in the media, an agreement has been reached.Miramax and Quentin Tarantino have released a joint statement regarding the settlement of the pending NFT lawsuit.“The parties have agreed to put this matter behind them and look forward to collaborating with each other on future projects, including possible NFTs,” the statement said.Late last year, Tarantino and blockchain company Secret Network announced that they’d be selling uncut and unreleased scenes from “Pulp Fiction” as NFTs. Those purchasing the NFTs would also receive exclusive access to extras, including commentary from Tarantino and images of the handwritten first draft of the screenplay.Miramax, who has plans to turn much of its library into NFTs, argued that Tarantino doesn’t have the right to release NFTs of his own screenplay and sent a cease-and-desist to the filmmaker (who, in the years since “Pulp Fiction’s” release, made movies like “Django Unchained,” “Kill Bill” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”).“This group chose to recklessly, greedily, and intentionally disregard the agreement that Quentin signed instead of following the clear legal and ethical approach of simply communicating with Miramax about his proposed ideas,” Miramax’s attorney Bart Williams said in a statement in November.

Tim Roth says he isn’t so sure that his much-publicized “She-Hulk: Attorney At Law” scene with Mark Ruffalo made the final cut. In a new interview, the actor — who starred opposite Edward Norton in Marvel’s first standalone Hulk film and reprises his role as Emil Blonsky/Abomination in the new series — says he’s not sure viewers will see the scene, which he says cheekily plays up Marvel’s recasting of the gargantuan superhero when Ruffalo took over from Norton starting with 2012’s “The Avengers.” “I’ve always wanted to work with him, and it just happened to be this, which was kind of fun,” Roth told The Hollywood Reporter.
