Quentin Tarantino Warned Brad Pitt He'd Be 'Dead in This Business' After Film Faux Pas
Bruce Dern said Tarantino warned Pitt after an improvised line led to a camera cut on the set, and Pitt later won an Oscar for the role.
- Bruce Dern claimed director Quentin Tarantino scolded Brad Pitt on the set of the 2019 film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood after Pitt cut the camera during a scene where Dern improvised a line.
- During the scene, Dern improvised dialogue while playing ranch owner George Spahn, which prompted Pitt to cut the camera—an action that gravely angered Tarantino.
- Tarantino allegedly told Pitt, "Never again in your life will you ever cut a camera or you'll be dead in this business." Pitt responded, "Well, that wasn't in the script what he said."
- Despite the tension, the pair are collaborating again on The Adventures of Cliff Booth, the sequel to the original film, with director David Fincher helming the project for a November release.
- Pitt won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Cliff Booth in the original film, cementing his long creative partnership with Tarantino. Representatives for both had no immediate comment on the incident.
