The film world is still reeling from the recent loss of actor Rick Dalton, whose passing was first announced on May 19th, 2023 by The Video Archives Podcast's official Twitter account. Dalton, who passed away at his Honolulu, Hawaii home (shortly after celebrating his 90th birthday in April), is survived by his wife, one-time Italian starlet Francesca Cappucci.
The Video Archives Podcast, created and hosted by filmmakers Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary, aired an episode on May 22nd that is apparently part one of a multi-episode run that revolves around the directors' memories of Dalton and his work.
While other friends and fans of the actor such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt have yet to make any official statements or remembrances, Tarantino has made sure that Dalton's name isn't fading into the ether like so many stars of yesteryear.

Quentin Tarantino is expanding the Rick Dalton lore in the remembrance of the late (and invented) movie star.
The “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” auteur announced May 19 that Dalton, played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the 2019 film, died at the age of 90. Dalton’s 1969 exploits alongside stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) were captured in Tarantino’s “Hollywood,” during which Dalton saves Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) from the Manson family would-be serial killers.
During Tarantino and “Pulp Fiction” co-screenwriter Roger Avary’s recent entry in the “Video Archives Podcast,” Tarantino remembered the late fictional action star.
“Dalton was beloved by fans of ‘Bounty Law,’ where he played bounty hunter Jake Cahill for five seasons and also for his iconic role as Eddie Karpinski, the flamethrower-wielding vigilante in ‘The Fireman,’ ‘The Fireman Part 2,’ and ‘The Fireman 3: CIA Crackdown,'” Tarantino said. “But he was so much more than that, with...

Quentin Tarantino announced via series of tweets last week the death of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’s leading man, Rick Dalton. He made the announcement via The Video Archives podcast, which he hosts with Pulp Fiction cowriter Roger Avary, and indicated that today’s podcast would be “a memorial episode designed by Quentin that features some of Rick’s best roles.”
The director made good on that promise.
“On May 19, 2023, actor Rick Dalton passed away peacefully in his home in Honolulu, Hawaii,” announces Avary’s daughter Gala — who produces the show — at the opening of the podcast. “He is survived by his wife, Francesca.

If you ever saw an episode of ‘Bounty Law’, or caught films like ‘The 14 Fists Of McClusky’ and ‘Operazione Dyn-o-Mite!’ on the big screen, you’ll know that Rick Dalton was something of a Hollywood legend, a major player on the small-screen who – after some career wobbles – managed to carve a culty big-screen career for himself alongside stunt double Cliff Booth. And, if you’ve seen Quentin Tarantino’s character, expanded on in Tarantino’s Ouatih novelisation, and in the upcoming book The Films Of Rick Dalton.

If you opened Twitter this weekend, the odds are that your feed was filled with loving tributes to Rick Dalton, Leonardo DiCaprio’s B-grade movie star from Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.” So naturally, the joke spread like wildfire, and before long, Dalton’s death notice had even been “added” to the marquee of the New Beverly Cinema, the repertory movie theater in Los Angeles owned by Tarantino himself.

Rick Dalton, the protagonist of Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 film “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” played by Leonardo DiCaprio, has died at 90.
Or, uh, that was the news from Tarantino’s podcast “The Video Archives” as announced on Friday.
Dalton, fictionally best known as the star of the TV show “Bounty Law” and “The Fireman” trilogy, is survived by his (fictional) wife Francesca, according to the podcast. Dalton was the lead role in Tarantino’s revisionist history Hollywood melodrama, which put the past-his-prime actor and his loyal stuntman (played by Brad Pitt in an Oscar-winning performance) in the heart of key events in the late 1960s.
Namely — spoiler warning for a 3-year-old movie — the finale offered up a skewed variation on the infamous Charles Manson murders, in which his brainwashed foot soldiers came to Rick’s door and met their gruesome ends, with Sharon Tate and her compatriots partying next...

Has Quentin Tarantino found his next and potentially final film? Sources tell Deadline that he is set to direct The Movie Critic, which is based on an original script he penned. No studio is attached.
Plot details are being kept under lock and key other than that it is focused on a female film critic in the 1970s.
Borys Kit from our sister publication The Hollywood Reporter broke the news.
Tarantino hasn’t directed a film since 2019’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and everyone in the industry has been wondering what his next film might be. For years, he has said he would direct 10 films and then retire. This would mark his 10th film.

The news of Quentin Tarantino’s final film has been awaited some time, and he’s done seemingly everything––start a podcast, nearly direct episodes of Justified, and write (in no short order) an excellent novel, a delightful book of criticism, a yet-unproduced play, a two-hour Bounty Law TV series, and some limited series––to prevent it. But THR have learned Tarantino is at last shopping the script for his 10th and final feature, The Movie Critic, “set in late 1970s Los Angeles with a female lead at its center,” with a fall shoot in mind.

It doesn’t seem like much coincidence Quentin Tarantino’s tenth and final film is being preceded by, let’s say, literally anything else he can do. Last year brought his (fantastic) novelization of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and word of: a new podcast with Roger Avary; directing duties on a Justified revival; a two-hour Bounty Law series (one episode of which you can read in the Hollywood hardcover); a Rick Dalton book; and let’s not forget odds and ends such as his narrating duties on the Showtime series Super Pumped, or word of a play he’s written.

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has been doing a heap of various interviews, podcasts, and television appearances to promote the novelization of “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.” He’s said some interesting things in every interview, such as potentially having Uma Thurman co-starring with her real daughter, Maya Hawke, in the long-teased “Kill Bill 3,” a desire to remake “First Blood” with Adam Driver and Kurt Russell in the lead roles, and the idea of remaking “Reservoir Dogs” with an all-Black cast for his final film before considering to a stage version instead.

Quentin Tarantino’s last directorial effort isn’t going to happen for a while as he continues to expand his Oscar winner “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” into other mediums. The director’s “Hollywood” novelization is now available for purchase (and an instant bestseller on the Amazon book charts), and he confirmed during an interview on “The Big Picture” podcast (via /Film) that next up for “Hollywood” is a stage play adaptation.
“Believe it or not, I’ve written a play version of [‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’],” Tarantino said. “I wanted to write a play, and stuff that’s not in the book…I wanted it to exist as a play. And again, I’m able to explore stuff that’s not in the [movie]. The play deals with Italy.”
Tarantino wrote the stage play adaptation in the “six or seven months” after he wrote the first draft of the movie.

More good news for LA moviegoers: Revival house New Beverly Cinema has set a reopening date of June 1 per its Twitter account. No further details were provided about the cinema’s upcoming schedule.
The 300-seat theater opened in 1929 at Beverly Boulevard near Labrea Boulevard in Los Angeles. The two-time Oscar winner Quentin Tarantino subsidized New Beverly owner Sherman Torgan to the tune of $5K per month to keep the location open; Torgan, who passed away in 2007, owned the theater at 7165 Beverly Blvd since 1978. Tarantino became the new landlord in the wake of Torgan’s passing, holding the line on developers who yearned to turn the venue into a Supercuts. In 2014, Tarantino became head curator with a mandate that only 16Mm and 35Mm prints would be shown, and jettisoning the digital projector installed by Torgan’s son Michael. The cinema reopened in December 2018 after year long enhancements.

Quentin Tarantino has signed a two book deal with Harper, the HarperCollins imprint. First up is Tarantino’s first work of fiction, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, a novel to be published next summer that breathes new life into the characters and the premise of a film that got 10 Oscar nominations and won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Brad Pitt. Tarantino has long been infatuated with the movie novelizations he read voraciously growing up, paperbacks that accompanied a film’s release. He has set in that tradition a book that teases out the characters played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Pitt. Appropriately, the throwback novel will start as a Harper Perennial mass market paperback, alongside e-book and digital audio editions. A deluxe hardcover edition will follow in the fall.
Tarantino’s second work with Harper will be a work of nonfiction, Cinema Speculation. Tarantino has often cited film critic...

He’s talking about expanding the ‘Once Upon a Time’ story into the world of the printed page.
