Dear popcorn taxi melbourne subscriber
We thought you'd like to know about this unique popcorn taxi event being held in Sydney shortly, as it is Quentin Tarantino's only public appearance in Australia. Apologies for those who who would like to attend but can't get to Sydney - we did ask him for a Melbourne show!
Best wishes

SPECIAL EVENT

Sunday May 2nd - 5pm

QUENTIN TARANTINO
'Live' at The Sydney Opera House


This program is sponsored by
SHOWTIME


Popcorn Taxi proudly presents an exclusive opportunity for you to join legendary filmmaker QUENTIN TARANTINO in person at the Sydney Opera House on Sunday May 2nd. He will be joined by film journalist MARGARET POMERANZ for a very special on-stage conversation about his films.

TARANTINO took Hollywood by storm in 1992 with his cult hit RESERVOIR DOGS. His combination of clever dialogue and brutal violence hit a new peak in 1994 with PULP FICTION, which won him an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and the Palme d’Or at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival. In 1997 he followed up his success with JACKIE BROWN starring PAM GRIER, ROBERT DE NIRO and SAMUEL L. JACKSON, and then recently with KILL BILL (VOL. 1) with UMA THURMAN and LUCY LIU.

As a writer his credits include TRUE ROMANCE directed by TONY SCOTT, NATURAL BORN KILLERS which was heavily reworked by director OLIVER STONE, and FROM DUSK TILL DAWN in which he also starred along side GEORGE CLOONEY, under the direction of ROBERT RODRIGUEZ. An overnight success by Hollywood standards, TARANTINO is without a doubt one of the most influential filmmakers to emerge in the last decade.

This program will include opportunities for questions from the audience, plus a selection of clips from QUENTIN's films throughout the event. KILL BILL (VOL. 2) is released in cinemas nationally this Thursday (April 22nd), and we highly recommend you go see it. You can view the trailer HERE. For more information on Tarantino see his full bio below.

Popcorn Taxi would like to give a very special thanks to DAVID COLLINS, SARAH WARD, MIRAMAX and BUENA VISTA for their generous support in making this event possible.
