10 Directors That Should Never Have Complete Creative Control
5. Quentin Tarantino
Few writer-directors have Quentin Tarantinos skill for crafting memorable dialogue and eking out impressive heightened performances from sizeable ensemble casts. However, at this stage in his career, you could argue that Tarantinos style is beginning to grow tiresome. Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs are perfect movies, but Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained while hugely merit-worthy in their own right have seen Tarantino continue to churn out the same kind of scripts again and again. Hes doing it with style, but hes still stagnating. Everyone loves femme fatales, sarcastic dialogue and that Grindhouse style, but is it too much to ask that Tarantino might try something different once in a while? Taking creative control away from Tarantino could have some very interesting consequences. If a studio or a writer encouraged him to think outside the box he has created for himself and consider different stylistic approaches, he could create a film that wins back the shock value and sheer impressiveness of his early word.
