What movie script did Quentin Tarantino sell in order to finance Reservoir Dogs?
Quentin sold the script for True Romance to Warner Bros. for the WGA minimum at the time of $50,000. He used the proceeds of that sale to finance his first full-length feature Reservoir Dogs.
Starring a veritable who's who in Hollywood including Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, James Gandolfini, Brad Pitt, Christopher Walken and Samuel L. Jackson, the movie also featured Jack Black's film debut, but his role was cut from the final film.
True Romance is one half of a larger script written by Tarantino and Roger Avary. The discarded half was later turned into the feature length film Natural Born Killers. Tom Sizemore, who celebrates his birthday today, played a cop in both movies and lost out to Steve Buscemi for the role of Mr. Pink in Reservoir Dogs
.
Patricia Arquette's character of Alabama is mentioned briefly in one of Mr. White's flashback scenes in Reservoir Dogs. Tarantino's original intention was to have Alabama join up with Mr. White and live a life of crime.
