The quartet also took part in a special screening of the film and answered several questions. During the event, Thurman jokingly stated thatPulp Fictionwas the last time Tarantino worked with a set script before changing his filmmaking style to become more improvisational.
“I think it was probably the last film Quentin made that was on schedule, where he actually tried to make his days and make his weeks. I think after that, it’s been pretty improvisational for him.”
Thurman made the above statement (viaIndieWire), implying that Tarantino’s success early on in his career has affected his later films in a major way.
