Tarantino Reminds Pitt Who’s Boss on Set
Bruce Dern says on Cannes that Quentin Tarantino sternly warned Brad Pitt on the set of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood after Pitt cut the camera, declaring that Pitt would be “dead in this business” if he ever did that again and stressing Tarantino’s control over takes. Pitt reportedly responded that the line wasn’t in the script, and the scene continued. The anecdote highlights Tarantino’s authoritative directing style and Pitt’s long-running collaboration with him, including upcoming projects linked to Tarantino’s universe.
