Update: To the surprise of no one, The Weinstein Company have acquired worldwide rights to the film.
There’s been some specials and making of documentaries on his productions, but we have yet to get a definitive documentary on the career of Quentin Tarantino. While this is mostly due to the director still making his films — his latest, The Hateful Eight, arrives on Christmas Day in 70mm — a new documentary will take a look at a specific period in his career.
Production has already started on 21 Years: Quentin Tarantino, which takes a look at — you guessed it — the first 21 years of his films, from 1992’s Reservoir Dogs to 2013’s Django Unchained. Directed by Tara Wood, she seemingly takes the same approach as her last co-directing effort, 21 Years: Richard Linklater.
According to Variety, Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Christoph Waltz, Lucy Liu, Zoë Bell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jamie Foxx, Eli Roth, Robert Forster, Diane Kruger, Michael Madsen and Kerry Washington will all be interviewed for the project. “Quentin is the most revolutionary, distinctive director of our time. There is no shortage of stories from his collaborators about what it takes to get his visionary style to the screen. It has been an enlightening process both personally and professionally,” says Wood. There’s no word yet on when it might arrive, but we’d imagine next year is a safe bet.
