Los Angeles: Months after making sensational revelations of misogynistic treatment as well sexual harassment in Hollywood, actress Uma Thurman said she is ready to collaborate with film-maker Quentin Tarantino who had behaved insensitively with her.
The actress said she always shared a 'good relationship' with Tarantino and will work with the 'Kill Bill' director if he writes a good part for her. In an interview with 'Entertainment Weekly', the 48-year-old actor was asked whether she is open to working with the director despite the recent revelation about the car crash that happened on the sets of 'Kill Bill'.
"If he wrote a great part! I understand him and if he wrote a great part and we were both in the right place about it, that would be something else," Thurman said.
Earlier this year, Thurman had said in an article that she suffered severe injuries after she was pressured into driving a stunt car she did not feel comfortable operating on the sets of Tarantino's film. In an article that appeared in 'New York Times' three months ago, Thurman narrated the incident of car crash she had to endure after she had expressed her apprehensions about driving a vintage car and had asked a stunt person to do it.
But Tarantino was adamant and had assured her that the vehicle was safe. "Quentin came in my trailer and didn't like to hear no, like any director. He was furious because I'd cost them a lot of time. But I was scared. He said, 'I promise you the car is fine. It's a straight piece of road. Hit 40 miles per hour or your hair won't blow the right way and I'll make you do it again.' But that was a deathbox that I was in," she said.
The director, on his part, had admitted that he still blames himself for convincing Thurman to sit in the car and called the incident "one of the biggest regrets of my life".
Thurman and Tarantino, 55, first collaborated on the cult favourite 'Pulp Fiction' and they followed it up the 'Kill Bill' movies.
Thurman told the magazine that she always "had a good relationship" with Tarantino even after the incident. "We've had our fights over the years. When you know someone for as long as I've known him, 25 years of creative collaboration... Yes, did we have some tragedies take place? Sure. But you can't reduce that type of history and legacy," she added.
In the aftermath of the controversy, Thurman had clarified that she blamed the producers of the film, including disgraced media mogul Harvey Weinstein, the most for the accident and revealed that Tarantino had already apologised to her for his role.
