When Paramount announced the return of the original cast return for “Star Trek 4” with director Matt Shakman (“WandaVision”) at the helm a few months back, it was news to the entire cast, who were reportedly “shocked.” And in case you’re wondering if that’s changed, and they’ve been updated those cast members, the answer is no. In a conversation with IndieWire while promoting “All The Old Knives,” actor Chris Pine said he still doesn’t know what is actually happening with “Star Trek 4” and hasn’t read a script, although the studio announced everyone was back and production was to begin before the end of 2022.

While there are always a lot of news that comes up regarding Quentin Tarantino films, particularly when it comes to his dialogue and use of gore and violence, after the debut of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” there was a bit of a surprising controversy surrounding the filmmaker’s depiction of Bruce Lee. In a film that seems to celebrate filmmaking and actors of decades gone by, many people noticed Tarantino didn’t necessarily showcase Bruce Lee in the best light, as he came off as an arrogant asshole (Lee’s widow, Linda Lee, criticized the film and Tarantino, at the time).

Similar to folks like Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, and Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino is a long-time advocate for the theatrical experience and all that entails. Needless to say, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll ever see Tarantino create a film that can only be viewed on TV screens, tablets, or laptops. And apparently, if you even suggest that he release a project on a smartphone, he’s going to just walk out of the meeting.

When you assume you make an ass out of you and me. Or so suggests Quentin Tarantino. The filmmaker has surfaced to clear up a bunch of misinformation that has surfaced ever since it came to everyone’s attention that a new version of his 2015 film, “The Hateful Eight” had appeared on Netflix in a mini-series four, divided into four parts. Did Netflix have permission to do so? Did Quentin Tarantino approve and of course, it was just a cut-up to increase views and encourage people to watch the film as a series, rather than maybe shy away from its long three-hour-plus run time, right?

One day after renowned Italian composer Ennio Morricone allegedly denigrated Quentin Tarantino and his films in an interview with Playboy German, reportedly calling the director a “cretin,” his filmography as “trash,” and knocking the way the director famously recontextualizes previously-written scores, the Academy Award-winning musician has denied the remarks.
