David Lynch has opened up about the state of cinema in a new interview.Speaking to Cahiers du Cinema, Lynch said a number of factors have caused cinema to struggle – including the coronavirus pandemic, changes in the way people access films now (via streaming, for example) and the increase in the number of television series.Last November, Britain’s second largest cinema operator, Cineworld, forecasted that admissions would remain below pre-pandemic levels for the next two years. While UK and Ireland box office sales hit £690m in ticket sales last year, that was still 30 per cent below for the same period, pre-pandemic in 2019 (via The Guardian).Lynch said “coronavirus has put a stop” to watching films in cinemas, adding: “Feature films are in a bad place, series have taken their place…You could sit down and actually have the experience of stepping into a whole new world.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” is heading toward $1 billion at the worldwide box office, which is a far cry from the disastrous fate that met the first attempt to bring the Nintendo video game franchise to life. The live-action “Super Mario Bros.” movie in 1993 crashed and burned at the box office, grossing less than $40 million worldwide. Many Mario fans found the film too dark and adult-oriented, but Luigi actor John Leguizamo recently told GQ magazine in a video interview that what they shot was far darker than what was released. “[The directors] had this dark, dark vision that Disney was not okay with so there was all this butt-heading that was incredible,” Leguizamo said. “That party scene? Those were all strippers from North Carolina that they put on the set and they had them in the most revealing clothes and costumes.”

Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent Quentin Tarantino has been named honorary guest at the upcoming edition of Directors’ Fortnight, the selection running alongside the Cannes Film Festival. The tribute will take place on May 25, on the closing of Directors Fortnight. “As an exceptional and generous cinephile, Tarantino is at home at the Fortnight. He will be our guest this year to present a secret screening and discuss his counter-history of cinema,” said Directors’ Fortnight in a statement. Tarantino was recently in Paris to promote his first non-fiction book, “Cinema Speculation,” which tells his coming-of-age as a director through a look at iconic American films from the 1970s era.

Quentin Tarantino will attend Cannes Directors’ Fortnight as a guest of honor on May 25 for a special event consisting of a secret screening and a discussion on his counter-history of cinema, the parallel sidebar has announced.

Quentin Tarantino has named his “favourite tense moment” from one of his films.Speaking to Spanish publication El País, the Pulp Fiction director discussed his process for making tense scenes, before being asked to pick a standout example.“From my movies? The one from the farm at the beginning of Inglourious Basterds,” he said. “With the Nazi officer Hans Landa talking to the owner of the farm, who is hiding Jews in his cellar.”When asked about his process for creating tension in such scenes, he replied: “I don’t know how to explain it.

Quentin Tarantino has weighed in on the debate around gun laws in the US, saying he owns a gun “for protection”.After a recent spate of shootings in the United States, calls are once again being made for gun reform.Asked about his opinion on the topic by El Pais, Tarantino said there are “always two sides” to the debate, adding: “We certainly don’t need as many automatic weapons as there are. There should be better laws.

Quentin Tarantino has said that he is “ready to quit” making movies following an illustrious 30-year career in the industry.The director and screenwriter, who has helmed such classics as 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”.Tarantino reiterated that desire in 2014 while promoting his 2015 movie The Hateful Eight, outlining his plan to “leave a 10-film filmography”. However, he said at the time that this was “not etched in stone”.Last month, Tarantino announced the title of his 10th film – The Movie Critic – which is likely to be his final big-screen project.

Diari ARA this week.He continued, “And the truth is that, in real life, it’s a pain to shoot sex scenes, everyone is very tense. And if it was already a bit problematic to do it before, now it is even more so.”However, the director did note that if there was ever an intimate scene that was “essential” to the story of the film, he would go for it, but it “hasn’t been necessary.”His 1997 film, “Jackie Brown,” is the only movie that features a racy scene between Bridget Fonda and Robert De Niro. The movie followed a flight attendant, who was played by Pam Grier, showing her journey as she navigates getting busted for smuggling money.

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.

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.

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.”

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.
