{ "title": "Tarantino's Dano Dig Sparks Industry Backlash: Matt Reeves and Ben Stiller Weigh In", "article": "Quentin Tarantino's recent comments about Paul Dano's performance in 'There Will Be Blood' have sparked a heated debate in the film industry. Speaking on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, Tarantino criticized Dano's portrayal of Eli Sunday, calling him 'weak sauce' and stating that the character pairing with Daniel Day-Lewis should have been a 'true two-hander.' The remarks, which have been widely circulated, have prompted a wave of support for Dano from his peers. Matt Reeves, director of 'The Batman,' described Dano as 'an incredible actor and an incredible person,' praising his intensity in the film. Screenwriter Mattson Tomlin also chimed in, calling Dano 'a terrific actor' and 'an astonishing director.' Ben Stiller and Alec Baldwin have also publicly shown their support for Dano, with Stiller calling him 'f-ing brilliant' and Baldwin saying 'if you don’t love Paul Dano, shhhhhh.' The exchange has reignited discussion around 'There Will Be Blood,' a film long praised for Day-Lewis's performance and Anderson's direction, but this time focusing on Dano's role and the industry reaction that followed.
