‘Stealing Pulp Fiction,’ a Heist Comedy About Quentin Tarantino’s 35mm Prints, Sets 2025 Theatrical Release
Few filmmakers have used their voices and resources to advocate for the continued use of celluloid film than Quentin Tarantino. From his steadfast refusal to shoot on digital cameras to his exclusive use of film projectors at his New Beverly and Vista theaters in Los Angeles, the “Reservoir Dogs” director has made it clear that he views film prints as works of art in and of themselves. His prized film collection is the envy of many cinephiles — to the point where it’s now the subject of a heist film.
IndieWire can exclusively reveal that Giant Pictures has acquired the distribution rights to “Stealing Pulp Fiction,” a new heist comedy from first time director Danny Turkiewicz that follows an ensemble of movie lovers who try to steal Tarantino’s personal print of “Pulp Fiction.” The film, which is set to make its world premiere at the Newport Beach Film Festival on October 19, is is adapted from Turkiewicz’s 2020 short film of the same name.
