Quentin Tarantino has said he has “no desire” to watch Toy Story 4.
Despite hailing the previous three films in the franchise, the director refuses to watch the 2019 instalment.
Speaking on the Club Random With Bill Maher podcast, Tarantino said: “I don’t watch all the animated movies and stuff, but I’m a big fan of the ‘Toy Story’ trilogy. The third one is just magnificent.
“It’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. And if you’ve seen the other two, it’s just devastating. But the thing is, then three years later or something they did a fourth, and I have no desire to see it. You literally ended the story as perfect as you could, so no, I don’t care if it’s good. I’m done.”
Released in 2019, Toy Story 4 scored a glowing five-star review, with Nick Reilly writing for NME: “It’s the winning combination of humour and heart that make Toy Story 4 such a successful proposition. It is, for this critic at least, the most satisfying of endings to the greatest franchise of all time.”
Last November, Tim Allen and Tom Hanks revealed that Disney had reached out to them for a fifth movie in the series.
Allen said at the time: “Bob Iger, head of Disney, said it was on and actually said it was going to happen. They have reached out to Tom and I to reprise the roles. They’re not saying anything about it… You wonder if four was too many. Is five going to be too much?”
Elsewhere, George Clooney recently told Tarantino to “fuck off” over comments that Clooney was “not a movie star”.
He took aim at the director – who he previously worked with on 1996 film From Dusk Till Dawn – in a new interview with GQ.
“Quentin said some shit about me recently, so I’m a little irritated by him,” Clooney began. “He did some interview where he was naming movie stars, and he was talking about [Brad], and somebody else, and then this guy goes, ‘Well, what about George?’
“He goes, he’s not a movie star,” he claimed. “And then he literally said something like, ‘Name me a movie since the millennium.’ And I was like, ‘Since the millennium? That’s kind of my whole fucking career.’”
Clooney – who is due to appear in Prime Video series Wolfs alongside Brad Pitt – added: “So now I’m like, all right, dude, fuck off. I don’t mind giving him shit.”
