He’d alluded to small connections between characters before, but on The Project tonight, sat alongside The Hateful 8 stars Kurt Russell and Samuel L. Motherfucking Jackson, Tarantino told Waleed Aly the singular universe theory “isn’t 100% correct.”
There are two of them.
“There’s a realer than real universe, alright, that all the characters inhabit,” he says, before adding the next layer: the “Movie Universe.”
“So basically when the characters of Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction, when they go to the movies… Kill Bill is what they go see. From Dusk Til Dawn is what they go see.”
Cue gasps of admiration from the panel, who’d just bore witness to a director weaving stories from Los Angeles in the 90’s, Berlin in World War II, and the Deep South before the Civil War into a continuous narrative over a thirty-year career.
Bravo, you magnificent bastard.
Do all the Tarantino films happen in the same universe? #TheHatefulEight #TheProjectTV https://t.co/fLXmFYVGRY
