Tarantino's Hell Ride greenlit
Quentin Tarantino has just had his latest project greenlit. It's going to be a B-movie motorcycle flick where three riders have deadly, unfinished business between them, one of which will be Tarantino himself. A ready made excuse for a poor movie perhaps?
From Cinematical comes the news that he's set to go.
According to the movie's star Michael Madsen, Quentin Tarantino's Hell Ride officially has the green light. The movie, which will be produced by Tarantino's Band Apart, is loosely being described as a biker flick that centers on three main characters (played by Madsen, motorcycle movie veteran Larry Bishop and, unfortunately, QT) and "deadly unfinished business among them."
Wait though, he's not directing, it's the writer and co-star Larry Bishop. Thoughts on this?

Am I missing something, why do you people think that if a movie is directed by Tarantino it's going to be inevitably bad.
And how do you define bad, as in 'it will flop', or as in 'I will not like'?

The story refers to his bad acting, that's the worrying thing. I'm also surprised it's such a big QT story considering he's not directing!

Sounds like "Destiny Turns On The Radio" all over again.

If you have any doubts, go check out the movie UNDERWORLD starring Denis Leary. That's one of Larry's movies. He'll do a good job and they'll make an entertaining movie. Have some faith.

"why do you people think that if a movie is directed by Tarantino it's going to be inevitably bad"
Well, call me a pessimist, but when a director takes six years to make a film then splits it into two parts and they're both crap, and when his next planned directorial efforts are a rip-off of "The Dirty Dozen" (cos let's face it, that's exactly what the plot description of "Inglorious Bastards" reads like) and a mock-1970s kung fu movie with fake "bad English dubbing", that's the sort of thing that doesn't inspire me with confidence in him. I'd like to think "Kill Bill" and "Still Killing Bill" were aberrations but the future plans don't encourage me. Really, you might as well ask why people think a movie directed by a certain director is going to be good. It comes down to much the same thing.
As for defining bad: DUH. What do YOU think?

To James Russell:
James I think you are not very fair with your judgement regarding Tarantino direction skills. It seems that you have some issues about that guy and that is reflected on your judgement and your sayings. For god shake, you have even criticised and condemned his future movie by just reading its plot. Rubbish...
Also, how can you call a film "crap" when in everywhere gets average reviews of above 8? I mean, for god shake, you may not like the movie, the plot or even the violence, but even the bad reviews don't say its really crap. A crappy movie is for example, Catwoman. What the hell do you think about Pulp Fiction? Nah, better dont tell me..
It is not just black and white.

If Tarantino's not directing, then it might be OK. But as he's still producing, he'll still have plenty of room to assert himself. Too hard to say.
