Jenny Eden investigated how cinema's enfant terrible came to direct the fifth series finale of grisly crime drama series CSI.
Tarantino on his love of the show
"I'm a big fan. I love the mystery aspect and the
way the stories are deconstructed."
On getting the chance to direct an episode
"Billy [star William Petersen] gave me
a call and asked if it was something
I'd be interested in doing, and I had
to stop and go, 'Can I do a CSI?'."
"I know the back stories of all the CSI
characters. I know them all
really, really well and I know all the
sets. It's the same thing as if you're
a kid
and watching Star Trek and
you dream up your own episode
and you get to do it."
The series stars on Tarantino
"He's extremely imaginative and he
has a very infectious enthusiasm. I think his film-making style
lends itself to CSI in that it's a very
visual show, with a lot of close-ups
and clearly there's a lot of blood."
MARG HELGENBERGER
"At first I thought, 'Why
do I get to be the guy who's buried
and covered with ants?' When I heard
Quentin was going to direct it my jaw
kind of dropped. When he said the
stuff in the coffin should be just me
and him and a light crew to be more
intimate, I knew we were going to go
to a pretty dark place."
