In the past, Quentin Tarantino had only one boss: Harvey Weinstein.
Through the companies that Weinstein ran with his brother Bob, Miramax and The Weinstein Company, no other director had an unlimited carte blanche like Tarantino. From "Reservoir Dogs" from 1992 until "The Hateful Eight" of 2015, Weinstein and Tarantino were linked to Hollywood while they were performing an incredible filmography.
But when Weinstein and the movie's mogul character that he created collapsed as a result of numerous allegations of badual misconduct following a New York Times article in Oct. 2017, the man everyone knew in Hollywood while "Harvey" had become an outcast and Tarantino needed a new home for his future work. .
Before the fall of Weinstein, it was learned that Tarantino was working on his ninth feature, "Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood". But once it was clear that Harvey would actually be fired, all studios in the city began scrambling to get the next Tarantino movie.
The winner was Sony, who had the advantage over the international release of "The Hateful Eight" (the Weinstein company was in charge of the national release). And the new boss of Tarantino would be the chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment's Motion Picture Group, Tom Rothman.
Rothman told Business Insider that he had no interest in explaining to Tarantino how the director and Weinstein had worked well during all these years.
"I have not asked a question and I am mad, because I have been working for a long time with great writers and I am confident in the way things are going," Rothman said in a diversified interview.

And the directors he worked with made an impressive list: Steven Spielberg ("Minority Report", "Lincoln"), Ang Lee ("Life of Pi", "Billy Lynn's Long Walk"), James Cameron ("Titanic "," Avatar "), and Danny Boyle (" Slumdog Millionaire "," 127 Hours ") to name a few.
"And I do not think the big directors are responding to a studio," added Rothman. "When the momentum is good, there is a partnership – the good directors take the comments into account and then have the confidence and strength of their own vision to make decisions, and that's Quentin."
It is difficult to predict whether Rothman will treat Tarantino's films as long as Weinstein. Tarantino recently hinted that he was planning to retire, which Rothman said he did not believe.
So, did he start telling Tarantino that Sony wants to continue making movies with him?
"It's already started," Rothman said.
