And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another and there was given to him a great sword. In the Book of Revelation, the second of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse rides a red horse Revelation 6:4 (King James Version), And another horse, fiery red, went out. Perhaps the most obvious interpretation of this cryptic vision is a biblical one. There's no death, cause you and I, we're angels. And you're driving the horses, whipping them, and they're spitting and frothing at the mouth.
When Mickey ( Woody Harrelson) and Mallory ( Juliette Lewis) are in the desert at the start of the film, they are looking up at the stars, and Mickey muses, "The whole world's coming to an end Mal." Mallory responds to this by dreamingly saying, I see angels Mickey. As such, with a director and producers on-board, Warner greenlit the movie. Stone liked the material, and agreed to shoot the film as his next project. In the end however, he was unsuccessful as Hamsher and Murphy sold the script to Warner Bros., and also brought it to the attention of writer/director/producer Oliver Stone, who was looking for something "straightforward" after the difficulty he had had during the shoot for Heaven & Earth (1993). According to Hamsher, in her book about the making of NBK, Killer Instinct, Tarantino actively tried to block the film from going into production, and lobbied the studios not to purchase the screenplay. He attempted to buy the NBK screenplay back from Hamsher and Murphy with a view to making it as his follow up to Reservoir Dogs, but they refused to sell, as they were already searching for a studio willing to buy the screenplay and a director willing to take it on. When Dogs became an unexpected smash hit, Tarantino suddenly acquired a great deal of power in Hollywood almost overnight, his name became a brand, and studios vied to sign him. As such, he sold the script to producers Jane Hamsher and Don Murphy in 1991 for $10,000, just before Reservoir Dogs (1992) went into production. Tarantino had hoped to make NBK himself for $500,000 in 1990, but after his disastrous 1987 directorial debut My Best Friend's Birthday, he found it difficult to raise funding for the project. NBK was Tarantino's third feature length script, after the little known My Best Friend's Birthday (1987) and True Romance (1993). Natural Born Killers is based on a 1990 screenplay of the same name, written by Quentin Tarantino.
