News - “Pure cinema”: Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman reunite at Fortnite Chapter 7 event

Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman surprised fans by appearing together at the Fortnite Chapter 7 announcement in Los Angeles, where the game unveiled a Pulp Fiction crossover. Tarantino and The Bride appeared together to promote Fortnite Chapter 7. Uma Thurman and Quentin Tarantino appeared at the LA event to promote the game’s crossover with the legendary film. The game will feature iconic heroes and villains from Kill Bill, including The Bride and sisters Gogo and Yuki Yubari. The Pussy Wagon will also make an appearance. On social media, people reacted with two main sentiments: disbelief that Pulp Fiction is coming to Fortnite at all, and disbelief that Tarantino and Thurman appeared publicly together. “It’s actually insane seeing them together because I thought they had bad blood after she got hurt during the filming of Kill Bill…” wrote @FrankieGonzo69. Despite concerns about Tarantino and Thurman’s relationship and claims that “Quentnite” is an unexpected pairing, some fans doubted Tarantino’s 100% enthusiasm, while others were excited for the Tarantino x Fortnite collaboration. Some are even hoping Tarantino could direct “the Fortnite movie.” @chrisgards #umathurman #killbill #fortnite #quentintarantino ♬ original sound – Chris Gardner.
