🔴Kurt Russell Explains Differences Between Quentin Tarantino & John Carpenter🔴
0Kurt Russell reveals what he has learned about Quentin Tarantino and John Carpenter when reflecting on his acting career. Russell first worked with the acclaimed Halloween director on Carpenter's 1979 biopic Elvis, and would later collaborate on Escape From New York, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, and Escape From LA. He then worked with Tarantino on two features, beginning with 2007's Death Proof before reuniting on 2015's The Hateful Eight.
As Russell looked back on his career with GQ, the actor briefly touched upon what makes both Carpenter and Tarantino unique filmmakers when reviewing his work on Death Proof.
While Russell states Tarantino was inspired by Carpenter's work, Carpenter's style is more reserved when compared to the former's stand-out, bombastic filmmaking, though their motivations leave them with a lot in common. Check out Russell's full explanation below:
One of the reasons Quentin got into making movies is 'cause of John Carpenter. I mean, I know that from the horse's mouth. John's more reserved in his humor and his style. Quentin is very, very outgoing. But there's a lot of similarities too in what's driving their mojo on making a movie. It's not like a director who's searching for a vision. They've got it in their head and it's just a matter of them having the freedom to say "I like that, I like that, like that, don't like that, don't like," you know, it's easy for them.
