Quentin Tarantino chats to Krishnan Guru-Murphy about DJANGO UNCHAINED

Friday 11 January 2013

Writer-director Quentin Tarantino's in London to promote his new Western movie Django Unchained, starring Jamie Foxx as the eponymous freed slave who comes under the tutelage of Christoph Waltz's bounty hunter, and got quite upset about the line of questioning from Krishnan Guru-Murphy of Channel 4 News. A question about screen violence and its alleged links to real violence proved to be the catalyst. Watch the eight-minute interview for yourself (embedded above), which starts to grow heated about halfway through.

Oh well, it's all good publicity at the end of the day. Do you think Tarantino was right to object to the question, on the grounds that he's answered it before elsewhere? Was Guru-Murphy's question out of order, or too overstated to be of an value? Discuss below! The movie itself is released in UK cinemas on 18 January.
