\n<\/span><\/strong>Keaton plays FBI agent Ray Nicolette in Jackie Brown<\/em>. One year later, he reprised the role for Steven Soderbergh\u2019s Out of Sight<\/em> (both movies were based on Elmore Leonard novels).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
\n<\/span><\/strong>In a 2007 interview with Newsweek<\/em>, Tarantino explained the genesis of the idea for Death Proof<\/em>, the director\u2019s half of Grindhouse<\/em>: \u201cAbout 10 years ago, I was talking to a friend about getting a car. And I wanted to get a Volvo because I wanted a really safe car. I remember thinking that I didn\u2019t want to die in some auto accident like the one in Pulp Fiction<\/em> \u2026 So I was talking to my friend about this, and he said, \u2018Well, you could take any car and give it to a stunt team, and for $10,000 or $15,000, they can death-proof it for you.\u2019 Well, that phrase \u2018death proof\u2019 kinda stuck in my head.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
\nBecause he was still new to the business, Tarantino knew he couldn\u2019t direct both True Romance <\/em>and Reservoir Dogs<\/em>. 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<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
