So, weve really got to know each other a little bit.
So, I wrote the role for him.
Despite their friendship, Tarantino admits to having contracted a case of the jitters before shooting began with Pacino.
Its funny, I was nervous the first day, says the filmmaker.
I was nervous on the first day with Al.
I was just nervous about how it was going to start.
Is he one of these guys that the first day is kind of a wash?
Or is it going to start happening right now?
I was just a little nervous.
I know he loves me.
I dont know how to push this at the beginning.
I dont know what he needs.
And my first AD thought it was kind of cute.
So, what kind of direction does Pacino require at this point in his career?
I almost have to think about that for a second, says Tarantino.
He wants direction, but kind of more direction of like, Youre a good audience member.
I think you should probably be more direct in this.
Youre kind of walking around it a little bit.
Go right at him.
And things like that.
