The Pulp Fiction<\/em> filmmaker called Fincher, who is directing a Once Upon a Time in Hollywood<\/em> sequel, his “favorite director.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Tarantino also explained why he “pulled the plug” on directing the film himself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n There’s only one other man who could follow up a Quentin Tarantino<\/a> project. Just ask Quentin Tarantino.<\/p>\n The Pulp Fiction<\/em> filmmaker discussed his decision to hand over the reins of his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood<\/a> <\/em>sequel to David Fincher<\/a> during an interview with The Church of Tarantino<\/em><\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n “I think David Fincher is the best director. I think me and David Fincher are the two best directors,” Tarantino said. “So the idea that David Fincher actually wants to adapt my work to me shows a level of seriousness towards my work that I think needs to be taken into account.”<\/p>\n Tarantino said that he views the film as an opportunity for his writing to shine on its own without his own directorial voice complicating the praise he might receive if he helmed the movie himself. “Because I direct my own stuff, I don’t think I’ve gotten the respect as a writer that I entirely [deserve],” he said. “Because most people just think, ‘Well, he’s writing stuff for himself to do.'”<\/p>\n
