Listen to The Hollywood Reporter's Full Cinematographer Roundtable on 'Behind the Screen'
The full conversation from The Hollywood Reporter's 2019 Cinematographer Roundtable is now available as a special episode of THR's Behind the Screen.
Recorded Sept. 29 in downtown Los Angeles, the conversation features Roger Deakins (1917 and The Goldfinch), Natasha Braier (Honey Boy), Cesar Charlone (The Two Popes), Caleb Deschanel (The Lion King), Rodrigo Prieto (The Irishman) and Robert Richardson (Once Upon a Time in...Hollywood).
'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood': What Quentin Tarantino Left in the Editing Room
Fred Raskin had a big challenge on his hands. The first cut of Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was more than four and a half hours long, and he had to cut it down to almost half that length.
Luckily for the film editor, Tarantino joined him in the editing room after principal photography, already knowing what half of the cuts should be.
The rest, Raskin says, "came from watching the movie over and over again [while considering] that if we lose something, do we upset the balance of how much time we are spending with each character and do we need to move things around?"
In the end, Raskin — who also edited Tarantino's The Hateful Eight and Django Unchained — managed to hone down Once Upon a Time to 2 hours and 40 minutes. But the loss of about two hours of footage meant that he really had to kill some darlings.
Some of the scenes left on the cutting room floor centered on Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) as he's shooting the Western series Lancer and encounters the precocious child actor Trudi, played by a scene-stealing Julia Butters. "Her two scenes [in the final cut] with Leo are so strong, we realized we didn't need the other stuff," says Raskin.

Filmmaker of the Year Quentin Tarantino on Finding the Right Story, What Streaming is Missing, and His 10th Film
Quentin Tarantino needs to wake up. It’s early Monday morning at New York’s Langham Hotel, and the Oscar-winning screenwriter and veteran filmmaker is putting together a cup of coffee. He’s also nursing a glass of Coca-Cola. It’s a busy one. Only an hour prior, his ninth film, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, nabbed five Golden Globe nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. This isn’t surprising, though. The dreamy drama has been a critical darling since it swept into theaters this past July, and dazzled the box office. If anything, it’s just the beginning.
His competition is stiff. Tarantino is going headfirst into an awards season that includes legendary veterans like Martin Scorsese, foreign visionaries such as Bong Joon-ho, and fellow colleagues in Noah Baumbach and Sam Mendes. Like Tarantino, they’re all campaigning with intensely introspective works, the type of pictures that say more about the filmmaker than the stories on the celluloid. It’s been that kind of year, and should make for an intriguing season as we trudge through the snow in the lead-up to the Oscars, one full of rousing victories, unlikely upsets, and endless chatter.
Right now, though, Tarantino is enjoying the calm amidst the lingering storm. Sure, he’s exhausted — who isn’t at this hour of the week — but he’s hardly fatigued. If we’re being honest, he sounds satisfied. There’s a resolve in his demeanor that’s less Rick Dalton and more Cliff Booth. “It is what it is,” to borrow from Scorsese’s The Irishman, and the “is” ain’t too fucking bad. As he tells me late into our chat, “In a strange way, it seems like this movie, Hollywood, would be my last. So, I’ve kind of taken the pressure off myself to make that last big voilà kind of statement.” He’s not wrong.

Once Upon a Time… : pourquoi l’apparition de Steve McQueen résume tout le film de Quentin Tarantino
Il est l’un des visages connus que l’on croise dans Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, la fresque cinéphile signée Quentin Tarantino : Steve McQueen fait en effet une apparition remarquée au détour d’une scène, incarné pour l’occasion par un Damian Lewis bluffant de ressemblance avec l’acteur légendaire des Sept Mercenaires. Cette apparition clin d’oeil n’est toutefois pas un simple plaisir cinéphile, puisqu’elle offre au contraire au long métrage plusieurs niveaux de lecture supplémentaires.

Kill Bill Vol.3 dans trois ans?
A chaque micro tendu, la question est inévitable. Et maintenant, quels sont tes projets QT? Et ton dixième film? Tarantino a dit vouloir prendre son temps avant le 10ème long métrage et vouloir s'exprimer par d'autres biais: une pièce de théâtre, un roman et une série TV western. Ce qui devrait l'occuper pendant 2-3 ans. Mais après...
“I just had dinner with Uma Thurman last night. We were at a really cool Japanese restaurant. I do have an idea of what I would do with [‘Kill Bill Vol. 3’]. That was the whole thing, conquering the concept. What has happened to The Bride since then? And what do I want to do?”
“I didn’t just want to come up with some cockamamie adventure. [The character] doesn’t deserve that. The Bride has fought long and hard. I have an idea now that could be interesting. I still wouldn’t do it for a little bit. It would be at least three years from now. It is definitely in the cards.”

National Board of Review 2019
Following the Gotham Awards naming Noah Baumbach’s “Marriage Story” the best film of the year, the National Board of Review (NBR) has now weighed in with its picks for the best movies and performances of 2019. The NBR is made up of film enthusiasts, industry professionals, academics, and filmmakers. The group is one of the first organizations to announce its end-of-the-year selections, followed closely by the New York Film Critics Circle and the American Film Institute (both announcing tomorrow, December 4).
Last year, the National Board of Review honored “Green Book” with its top prize. That film controversially went on to win the Best Picture Oscar over “Roma” earlier this year. Nearly every NBR winner for Best Film this decade has earned an Oscar nomination for Best Picture, including “The Post,” “Manchester by the Sea,” and “Mad Max: Fury Road.”
Other 2018 NBR winners included Viggo Mortensen for Best Actor (“Green Book”), Lady Gaga for Best Actress (“A Star Is Born”), Sam Elliott for Best Supporting Actor (“A Star Is Born”), and Regina King for Best Supporting Actress (“If Beale Street Could Talk”). All of these actors went on to earn Oscar nominations and King even won the Supporting Actress prize.
