Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt, known for their close collaboration, reportedly had a disagreement while filming the 2019 movie ‘Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood’. The anecdote was shared by co-star Bruce Dern, who spoke to People at the Cannes Film Festival.
Dern described a scene where Pitt, playing Cliff Booth, wakes him up. After Dern improvised a line, Pitt cut the camera. Tarantino was reportedly furious, telling Pitt: ‘Never again in your life will you ever cut a camera or you’ll be dead in this business. That’s my domain. Don’t stop behavior.’ Pitt responded that Dern’s line wasn’t in the script.
A source close to the pair told Variety that ‘Quentin is one of Brad’s favorite directors, and the two have always had a great working relationship.’ The film was a critical and commercial success, earning 10 Oscar nominations and winning two, including Best Supporting Actor for Pitt.
Variety has reached out to representatives for Pitt and Tarantino for comment.
