you’re able to find the necessary details about the Quentin Tarantino documentary after the jump.
The news broke out of the American Film Market, but the details come to us via the folks atVariety. Don’t expect this documentary to be some slapdash affair – this film is fully authorized and the interview subjects are a who’s who of Tarantino regulars and collaborators, includingSamuel L. Jackson,John Travolta,Christoph Waltz,Lucy Liu,Zoë Bell,Jennifer Jason Leigh,Jamie Foxx,Eli Roth,Robert Forster,Diane Kruger,Michael MadsenandKerry Washington. The title of the film is inspired by the idea that every artist is defined by the first 21 years of his or her work.

Quentin is the most revolutionary, distinctive director of our time. There is no shortage of stories from his collaborators about what it takes to get his visionary style to the screen. It has been an enlightening process both personally and professionally.
21 Years: Quentin Tarantinois Wood’s second documentary charting the career of an indie filmmaker whose arrival blew the doors off the industry. She previously made2014’s21 Years: Richard Linklater, which applied the same concept to the director ofSlacker,Dazed and Confused,A Scanner Darkly,School of Rock, andBoyhood. Here’s the trailer, which gives you an idea of what her Tarantino film will probably feel like:
Tarantino burst onto the scene with 1992’sReservoir Dogs, which means that the documentary will presumably cover his career up through 2012’sDjango Unchained. That means the film will have the chance to take a deep dive intoPulp Fiction,Jackie Brown, bothKill Billfilms, andInglourious Basterds, each of which is fascinating enough to be worthy of its own documentary.
