news culture According to this Hollywood star, there’s “not even violence” in Ryan Reynolds films.
According to Quentin Tarantino, the films with Ryan Reynolds shown on the Netflix streaming platform are “not” in the cinema.
Quentin Tarantino, director of numerous classics (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill), was present at the Cannes Film Festival to present the film Rolling Thunder to the public. In particular, he gave an interview with meeting in which he takes on Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool, Free Guy) and Netflix. For him, the cinema experience is superior to that of the streaming platform, where he says he has “never heard of” the actor’s feature films. The filmmaker adds, “I mean, I’m not bullying anyone, but apparently, according to Netflix, Ryan Reynolds has $50 million for (his appearance in ‘Adam Through Time’, ed.) and $50 million for another one (ed Notice) earns $50 million for the next one (Dragon’s Lair, editor’s note). I don’t know what kind of movies these are. I’ve never seen them (…) But they don’t exist in the zeitgeist. It’s almost like they don’t exist.” It’s not the first time Tarantino has had such strong opinions about cinema. He had been particularly critical of Marvel superheroes, saying their actors weren’t movie stars.
For his part, Ryan Reynolds will soon be showing a new Netflix feature film, Dragon’s Lair, an adaptation of the video game of the same name. It follows the adventures of the knight Dirk the Bold as he tries to rescue the princess who is being held in a castle full of traps. Also in Deadpool 3 he will be back on November 8th, 2024 in the role of the antihero.
One last film for the director
Quentin Tarantino also used the Cannes Film Festival to reveal new details about his next and ultimate project: The Movie Critic. The director has revealed his feature film will focus on a critic of pornographic films from the 1970s. Little information has been released, but Tarantino has said he would like to work again with Sony, which had previously distributed Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. No actor has been cast yet: “I haven’t decided yet, but it will be someone in their 30s (…) I have an idea of a person who could play the role very well.” In his previous feature film he had Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt cast, but he thinks she’s too old for the character. Quentin Tarantino’s latest work should soon enter the pre-pre-production phase.
