The year is 2003. Director Quentin Tarantino is busy promoting Kill Bill: Volume 1. Both the film and its sequel – which had not yet been released at the time – influenced the ’60s and ’80s cinema that Tarantino grew up with and always has. One of his childhood video clubs and movie theaters was considered his favorite.
In promoting the film, which is partly based on the nostalgia of this era of neighborhood cinemas, the director does not hesitate to share the cinematic genre he wants to experiment with, 1970s disaster films like La Tour Infernal or The Adventure of the. Poseidon.
If he jokingly referred to the project as “Airport 2005”, echoing Airport (1970), the filmmaker already had his Dream actor :
John Travolta
Travolta could play a pilot, Pam Grier a flight attendant, Robert Forster, Michael Madsen, Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel, Bridget Fonda.
What’s more, Tarantino’s mid-air idea inspired ideas for others as the 2005 TV movie The Poseidon Adventure with Rutger Hauer, Adam Baldwin and Steve Guttenberg was released, and the following year Samuel Jackson made Snakes on a Plane. , which, as the name suggests, confronts a special agent by releasing poisonous snakes on a plane!

The disaster film was aimed precisely at Tarantino’s desired “seventies” and enjoyed considerable buzz upon its release. Is it because of all these reasons or because he rather started with the “Grindhouse” diptych that the “QT” airport never saw the light of day in 2005? In any case, the director did not mention the project again.
As for the present, things are uncertain for Quentin Tarantino as a director, having vowed to make only ten films in his career, and here he is on the verge of making his last.
If he is being written about a feature film set around the world of film criticism in the 70s, we still don’t know if he won’t back out at the last minute and leave it to someone else to give the final staging to someone else. the subject. That being said, by focusing on the 70s, once in Hollywood after 1969, we can say that there would be an idea!
