Surprise Pairing: Kylie Minogue and Quentin Tarantino in the Same Film!
Pop icon Kylie Minogue and legendary director Quentin Tarantino will share lead roles in 'Tangled Up in Blue,' named after a Bob Dylan song. Filming has begun in Wales.
Following the recent release of her Netflix documentary, pop icon Kylie Minogue is returning to acting. The star, who began her career on Australian TV dramas, will star in director Jamie Adams's new film 'Tangled Up in Blue.' But the film's real surprise is who's joining Minogue: Quentin Tarantino!
Named after the iconic song from Bob Dylan's 1975 album 'Blood on the Tracks,' the film began shooting in the Welsh town of Porthcawl. Minogue and Tarantino being spotted together at a restaurant sent a wave of excitement through the film world. It seems that rather than directing his final film as long promised, Tarantino has decided to step in front of the camera instead this time.
According to information confirmed by Variety, the film's stacked cast also includes Jason Isaacs, Allison Williams, Sofia Boutella, and RZA, along with Welsh actors Julian Lewis Jones and Craig Russell. Director Jamie Adams told Variety he offered the role to Tarantino directly.
Adams describes the process: "I sent him an outline of the story and a letter. I was very honest about the fact that I believed in him as an actor. My improvisational method is about staying in the moment and reacting organically. He's one of the greatest storytellers alive. I thought that would be incredible within a character. I didn't think he'd come back to me, but two weeks later his agent called and said Quentin was interested and wanted a Zoom call."
