The Big Picture By early 1993, having made his feature film directorial debut the year before with Reservoir Dogs and gearing up for his sophomore effort with Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino's career was on the rise. He'd also sold two original screenplays, True Romance and Natural Born Killers, the latter of which was about to enter production with Oliver Stone directing.
But after Natural Born Killers was bought for a reported $10,000 and made its way into Oliver Stone's hands, Tarantino's written groundwork for a rollicking exploitation film was reworked into something more consciously reflective of society at large. "When Quentin wrote those two characters, Mikey and Mallory, they were originally based on, I guess, Bonnie and Clyde," Stone said of the original screenplay.
