But I wouldn’t show it like a four-hour movie. I would cut it up into hour chapters. Like a four-part miniseries. And show it on cable television. Show it like an hour at a time, each chapter,” Tarantino said. The film, starring Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kerry Washington, was two hours and 45 minutes long but Tarantino had to still cut many scenes from the movie. “People roll their eyes at a four-hour movie. But a four-hour miniseries that they like, then they are dying to watch all four parts. That’s how I thought it could work,” the director said. Tarantino currently has his hands full as he is working on a new draft of The Hateful Eight. The script had leaked online and an angry director declared he will not make the film but the story is finally getting a big screen treatment following substantial tweaks. PTI
