From KCRW Santa Monica and KCRW.com, it's The Treatment.

Welcome to the treatment. I'm Elvis Mitchell. For the first time in 15 months, I'm actually

sitting across from another human being. instead of being in my lonely attic

at my house, I'm of course sitting across

from the director of the

Oscar nominated remake of the Lady in Red

from 1999.

More recently

known for the novelization

of Once in Time in Hollywood,

a novel by Quentin Tarantino.

I guess I missed that movie in your film, Michael.

Yeah.

Well, in the same universe where Sharon Tate lives,

there exists during that period between Jackie Brown and Kill Bill One, there exists a lady,

me doing John Sales, a lady in red, but with a proper budget.

Well, I thought the original had a proper budget. That's not the conversation.

No, I didn't have a proper budget at all. That was the problem with it.

I find me so thinking about what felt like digressions

when you were first showing pages from the script.

The more important part of the conversation is that we get to learn, A, a lot more about Sharon Tade,

and B, a lot more about Cliff.
