\nBecause he was still new to the business, Tarantino knew he couldn’t direct both movies. So he gave both scripts to Tony Scott and told him to pick one. Though Scott wanted both of the films, he ended up choosing True Romance,<\/em> leaving Tarantino to make Reservoir Dogs<\/em>.<\/p>\n
\nSizemore was initially cast as Gandolfini\u2019s character, Virgil. But he wasn’t comfortable with a scene that required him to beat up Patricia Arquette, so he asked to play Cody Nicholson instead. When Scott asked Sizemore who should play Virgil instead, he suggested Gandolfini, a then-unknown actor whom he knew from the New York theater world.<\/p>\n
\nQuentin had Clarence die; Scott decided that the movie deserved a happier ending. The only other difference between Tarantino\u2019s script and Scott\u2019s interpretation was presenting the movie linearly; Tarantino wrote True Romance<\/em> as a nonlinear adventure, similar to the style ofReservoir Dogs<\/em> and Pulp Fiction<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
