Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette on a cropped poster for True Romance's 4K UHD release

The Big Picture Quentin Tarantino has become one of the most renowned writer-directors in Hollywood, a singular voice whose scripts feel as though they could not succeed with the touch of any filmmaker other than Tarantino himself. But one of his greatest stories was brought to the screen by another director.

Release Date September 10, 1993 Director Tony Scott Cast Christopher Walken , Dennis Hopper , Brad Pitt , Christian Slater , Gary Oldman , Val Kilmer , Samuel L. Jackson , Patricia Arquette Runtime 119 minutes Main Genre Crime Writers Quentin Tarantino , Roger Avary Studio Warner Bros.

Scott's unique visual style mixed with Tarantino's sharp writing and character work is a match made in heaven. The two effortlessly compliment each other so well. Scott was a filmmaker who ascended to auteur status simply by establishing such a strong tonal hold over every story he directed.

This ending was the only major point of contention between Tarantino and Scott. Per the 15th anniversary oral history published by Maxim, Tarantino's original script ended with Clarence dying. Alabama would take off with the money, and essentially every other character would be left dead. The original ending is far more bleak, one that Tarantino thought was necessary for the film to keep its edge.
