LOS ANGELES: Director Quentin Tarantino has revealed that he promised to by no means give any cash to his mom from his movie-making profession after she shouted at him for writing screenplays in class as a substitute of learning.

Tarantino instructed Brian Koppelman on his “The Moment” podcast that his college lecturers seen his screenwriting at school as a “defiant act of rebellion” and contacted his mom Connie McHugh, who scolded him for a similar.

“She was b****ing at me about that and then in the middle of her little tirade, she said, “Oh, and by the way in which, this little ‘writing profession,’ with the finger quotes and every part.

“This little ‘writing career’ that you’re doing? That s*** is f***ing over’. She meant you just can’t do that in class when you should be doing something else,” he recalled.

The “Kill Bill” and “Django Unchained” director mentioned he made a promise to himself.

“When she said that to me in that sarcastic way, I was in my head and I go, OK, lady, when I become a successful writer, you will never see a penny from my success. There will be no house for you. There’s no vacation for you, no Elvis Cadillac for mommy. You get nothing. Because you said that.”

When requested if Tarantino caught to his vow, the director responded: “Yeah. Yeah. I helped her out with a jam with the IRS. But no house. No Cadillac, no house. There are consequences for your words as you deal with your children. Remember there are consequences for your sarcastic tone about what’s meaningful to them.”

The director is at present selling the novel “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, which relies on his film of the identical title.

Tarantino, who has usually mentioned that he’ll retire after making his tenth film, hopes to show “Hollywood” right into a stage play earlier than directing his final movie.

He can also be engaged on his second guide, a nonfiction work titled “Cinema Speculation” billed as “a deep dive into the movies of the 1970s, a rich mix of essays, reviews, personal writing, and tantalizing ‘what ifs.’ We’ll see what happens, but my plan is to do this book, I just did this, then finish the cinema book, then the next thing on the list is to start thinking about the play,” Tarantino instructed ‘The Big Picture’ podcast final month.

“I’m not going to think about (my) last movie for a while. I’m doing other things right now,” he mentioned.
