Tarantino admits 'Heroes' snub

Quentin Tarantino turned down an opportunity to direct an episode of Heroes, according to reports.

The Sun claims that the cult director, whose new film Death Proof is about to hit UK screens, didn't even know what the series was about.

"They were trying to get me to do one. I haven't even seen the f***ing show," Tarantino told the 'paper, before adding: "What the f*** is Heroes?"

In the past, the Reservoir Dogs helmer has been behind the cameras on episodes of both CSI and ER, alongside a recurring acting role in cult show Alias.
