Police Union Threatening Quentin Tarantino
66nHs2g.jpg

In a veiled threat, the largest police union in the country says it has a "surprise" in store for Quentin Tarantino.

Jim Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, would not go into any detail about what is being cooked up for the Hollywood director, but he did tell THR: "We'll be opportunistic."

"Tarantino has made a good living out of violence and surprise," says Pasco. "Our offices make a living trying to stop violence, but surprise is not out of the question."

The FOP, based in Washington, D.C., consists of more than 330,000 full-time, sworn officers. According to Pasco, the surprise in question is already "in the works," and will be in addition to the standing boycott of Tarantino's films, including his upcoming movie The Hateful Eight.

"Something is in the works, but the element of surprise is the most important element," says Pasco. "Something could happen anytime between now and [the premiere]. And a lot of it is going to be driven by Tarantino, who is nothing if not predictable.

"The right time and place will come up and we'll try to hurt him in the only way that seems to matter to him, and that's economically," says Pasco.

When asked if this was a threat, Pasco said no, at least not a physical threat. "Police officers protect people," he says. "They don't go out to hurt people."

The director of the upcoming Hateful Eight has drawn the ire of unions from the largest police departments in the country, border patrol and other law enforcement organizations.

Last month while marching in New York for a rally against police brutality, Tarantino called police "murderers." He has since gone public to clarify his remarks, saying that he is not anti-police, but against unarmed men and women being killed by them.

At this point, most box-office analysts don't think Hateful Eight will be hurt at the box office by the dust-up.

THE HATEFUL EIGHT is like The Thing took the form of an early John Ford movie & holy hell is it great. Sam L. Jackson = a national treasure.

THE HATEFUL EIGHT is dark, bloody and diabolically funny. If you thought the Crazy 88s were crazy, they got nothing on these eight. So great

THE HATEFUL EIGHT is one of those movies that's really great on first viewing, and will be about a thousand times better the second time.

Mike Ryan ‏@mikeryan 12m12 minutes ago
Jennifer Jason Leigh is absolute dynamite in THE HATEFUL EIGHT. And Walton Goggins *almost* steals the show from Samuel L. Jackson. Almost

My HATEFUL Take: I freakin' love this movie. Agatha Christie's DEATH PROOF in the Old West. I wish it were an hour longer.

Ed Gonzalez ‏@certified_ed · 13h13 hours ago
THE HATEFUL EIGHT suggests what it might be like if QT directed an Arthur Miller homage to Agatha Christie. I had lots of fun with it.

don't think I'm supposed to talk about it but two stray observations: Ennio Morricone is the real star, and Goggins steals the show

So glad it looks like Goggins steals the show. Been a fan of dude for so long. They almost used Kurt Russell instead of him in Django.

Goggins was great on The Shield and Justified, but what I think really stole it for me was on The Shield when
in the finale when offs his family and commits suicide. He said his wife in real life killed herself a couple years earlier, and he said that it was one of the most difficult things he ever had to do---filming that scene. And he did a masterful job.

The fukked up thing is that she hit him with divorce papers a few days before (before Thanksgiving 2004), and then she walked right off a building and killed herself.

He's a beast of an actor and hopefully he'll blow up some more after Hateful Eight.
