Relatively new to the game and unable to direct two features simultaneously, Tarantino turned to the late Tony Scott for help. He approached Scott and handed him two scripts — True Romance and Reservoir Dogs — and told him to choose one. Like Tarantino, Scott wanted to take the reigns of both films but also acknowledged it was too tall of a task. Scott decided to take on True Romance, leaving Reservoir Dogs for Tarantino. I think it’s easy to say Tarantino is happy with Scott’s decision to this day.
