The Great Advice Quentin Tarantino Got From Steven Spielberg After Experiencing His First Flop

Over the weekend, Tarantino shared a story about some professional challenges he faced in the mid-2000s. He was speaking at the Burbank Film Festival (according to Deadline) and explained that after some initial reactions to Death Proof weren’t what he expected, he sought advice from more experienced filmmakers. This film was part of the Grindhouse project, paired with Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror. Tarantino recalled that both Steven Spielberg and Tony Scott told him he should be happy he was able to create the film he envisioned – something he confirmed he was – but Spielberg, who directed both Jurassic Park and Hook, also offered some insightful advice.
