After the absolutely astounding Once Upon a Time in Hollywood it came to light that Quentin Tarantino was going to work on the sixth Halloween movie. Could you imagine Tarantino directing ‘The shape’ Mr.Michael Myers himself.
Quentin Tarantino Halloween
Speaking to Consequence of Sound Tarantino explained how the chance came about and then eluded him.
“Yeah, yeah, well, way before I’d ever done anything … it would have been if I had done it — I never got hired — but it would have been my job to figure out who the guy in the boots is,” he said.
The “guy in the boots” references is in regards to the man responsible for breaking Michael Myers out of prison. He still has thoughts on that particular character even now. He said: “Yeah, I was like, ‘Leave that scene where [the Man in Black] shows up, alright, and freeze Michael Myers,'” he continued. “And so the only thing that I had in my mind — I still hadn’t figured out who that dude was — was like the first 20 minutes would have been the Lee Van Cleef dude and Michael Myers on the highway, on the road, and they stop at coffee shops and sh*t and wherever Michael Myers stops, he kills everybody. So, they’re like leaving a trail of bodies on Route 66.”
He also admitted he was a fan of the Rob Zombie Halloween movies (this is where I clicked off the interview). With the latest instalment dropping October 16, 2020 one can only imagine what a Tarantino Halloween movie would have been like.
