One of the essential Quentin Tarantinoscenes is the frank roundtable analysis of Like a Virgin from the 1992 crime classicReservoir Dogs. Now, thanks toanimator and visual effects artist Glenn O Neill, the filmmakers fans canenjoy a full-on Virgin mash-up, which features dialogue snippets from iconic Tarantino characters from Mr. Pink to Jules Winnfield to Adolf Hitler spliced into a spoken-word version of Madonnas classic 1984 single.
But O Neill goes one goofy step further with his clip, adjusting crucial lyrics to fit Tarantinos trademark, profanity-laced dialogue. I made it through the valley of darkness, opens the tune, with a reference to Samuel L. Jacksons chilling, Bible-quoting Pulp Fictionsoliloquy. Somehow I made it through / Didnt know how lost I was / until I found you. (Elsewhere, You made me feel shitty and new, Youre a fine motherfucker, and youre mine and You made me feel I got nothin to hide up his ass.)
The video is also a reminder of how many memorablecharacters Tarantino has put on the big screen from gimps to war heroes to martial arts masters to heroic slaves.

According to a report fromThe Denver Post(viaThe Hollywood Reporter), the state of Colorado recently approved a $5 million incentive package to bring in the $44 million production, which could be shoton a 900-acre ranch west of ski town Telluride, pending local permit approval.
