With the release of Quentin Tarantino's new movie the Hateful Eight, some have speculated that he may have read Joe Dell's book Goin' Over before his new creations. We asked Joe himself about this. Joe Dell, "At first, when it was pointed out to me, I thought it preposterous. But, i do understand where someone would get that. Like Samuel L Jackson getting shot in the crotch and the hero in my book shooting the rapists in the crotch and other little elements like the mention of Ennio Morricone which he had write the score to the Hateful Eight. I actually gave a copy of my book to a gentleman, who is good friends with is agent or something, that got it in Quentin's hands. If he read the book and if anything was an influence, it would be a great honor to me. I mean, he was one of the influences on that book as well, along with Stephen King, The Godfather, The Bad Lieutenant and such. I was heavily into Reservoir Dogs when it came out and Pulp Fiction. The kind Italian guy who got my book to him, did it in the hopes that he would be interested in turning Goin' Over into a movie. I thought it would be kool, but, it was pointed out to me that he writes the story line to his own movie. Shame, but, hopefully, one day it will be turned into a movie and if he did read it, i hope he enjoyed it half as much as I do his movies."
