Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino says he will never work with the Disney Studios.
	The 52-year-old director's remarks came following a dispute over cinema availability for "The Hateful Eight," reported Digital Spy.
	"No. I would never work (with Disney) in any way, shape or form after what they did to me," he said.
	Tarantino wanted "The Hateful Eight" to be released on maximum screens, ideally projected in 70mm, but due to the release, just a week after "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," he found it hard to secure all the access he wanted, and in particular found himself in conflict with Disney.
