Earlier in their careers, Tarantino and Avary had planned on making an anthology movie comprising three short films ; one written and directed by Avary, one written and directed by Tarantino, and one written and directed by a third filmmaker, reportedly Adam Rifkin.

" Pandemonium Reigns " ended up forming the basis of the " Gold Watch " chapter of Pulp Fiction ( an earlier version of his website displayed an excerpt from " Pandemonium Reigns ", illustrating the changes that were made by Tarantino when writing " The Gold Watch "), and other odd scenes Avary had written during his rewrite of True Romance were reworked and incorporated into the Pulp Fiction script, such as the accidental shooting of Marvin, and the scene in which the bullets fired at Jules and Vincent miss their targets.

But when producer Lawrence Bender called Avary during location scouting on Reservoir Dogs asking if he had a screenplay that took place entirely in a bank so that they could take advantage of an inexpensive location they had no use for, Avary told Bender that he had such a script — and quickly wrote Killing Zoe in under a week, using elements of his European trip as inspiration.

Avary told him he had one, even though he didn't, and proceeded to write one in a reported week and a half.

Avary finished the record in March 2009 but had to wait for behind-the-scenes industry issues to clear.

Avary described the project as initially " just a really fun experiment.

Avary intended the film to be in part visually inspired by animator Jan Švankmajer's work.

When the Paul Brothers, a pair of wealthy bodybuilders who wanted to get into the movies, offered Tarantino funding for his script Natural Born Killers on the condition he include a scene featuring them, he could not write it out of disgust, and asked Avary to write it as a favor.

After the conclusion of touring, Avary took some time off to write his fourth studio album, Of Men and Angels.

Avary was recently approached by several platinum-selling artists who have asked him to write singles for their upcoming albums.

Prior to launching his music career as The Rocket Summer, Avary worked as a Starbucks barista for four months — an experience that inspired him to write the song " This is Me " off of his album Calendar Days.

In August 2010, Avary announced he would be going on a nationwide headlining tour of the US where he will be playing completely solo, telling stories, looping songs and playing acoustic versions of many songs he has written.

Roger Avary was arrested in January 2008 for DUI and manslaughter after his friend died in a car accident while Avary was at the wheel.

Avary was fired after disagreements over the creative direction with executive producer Jon Peters, best known for Batman and Superman Lives.

It was due to their meeting on the Sandman movie project that Avary and Gaiman collaborated one year later on the script for Beowulf.

Avary took on the producer's role, and he and Tarantino tried unsuccessfully for several years to get funding so that Tarantino could direct the script himself.

Most notably, Avary contributed material which, combined with Tarantino's, formed the basis of Pulp Fiction ( 1994 ) for which he and Tarantino won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

Roger Avary became a spokesperson for Apple's Final Cut Pro product, appearing in Apple print and web ads worldwide.

Avary co-wrote the song " Stomping The Roses " for American Idol alum, David Archuleta.

Avary attended and performed acoustic at the Dallas Rescue for the Invisible Children campaign in Dallas, TX, on April 25, 2009.

On June 23, 2009, Avary played at the closing ceremony for the Invisible Children rally, " How It Ends ," which took place on the White House Ellipse Lawn in Washington D. C.

As a child, Avary appeared as a contestant on Nickelodeon's Double Dare after he and his family successfully auditioned for the TV show while on a family vacation at Universal Studios in Orlando, FL.

So too were Roger Avary, the writer / director of The Rules of Attraction, Chuck Kelley co-founder of the internet radio station LuxuriaMusic, and producer Daniel Snyder, who is best known for the documentary Dreams on Spec.

In August 2007, Todd Hollenshead stated at QuakeCon 2007 that a Return to Castle Wolfenstein movie is in development which re-teams the Silent Hill writer / producer team, Roger Avary as writer and director and Samuel Hadida as producer.

Roger Avary was originally attached to direct after the success of Pulp Fiction, collaborating with Pirates of the Caribbean screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio in 1996 on a revision of their first script draft, which merged the " Preludes and Nocturnes " storyline with that of " The Doll's House ".

Since Tarantino was busy prepping Reservoir Dogs, Avary was hired with Tarantino's consent by Tony Scott and Hadida to work as a script doctor on the material, a job which included bringing the length down, reforming the narrative to a linear fashion, and writing a more commercial ending where the Clarence character is not killed.

" Avary co-wrote the background radio dialogue in Reservoir Dogs ( 1992 ), and designed the " Dog Eat Dog " logo which appeared in the end credits.

Tarantino and Avary got together in Amsterdam shortly after the release of Reservoir Dogs, and pasted each other's scenes together into a first draft, after which Avary left to film Killing Zoe, leaving Tarantino to continue subsequent writing of Pulp Fiction.

Avary also wrote and directed the neo-noir cult thriller Killing Zoe ( 1994 ) which Tarantino executive produced.

In 2002, Avary directed his adaptation of the novel, which he also executive produced.

In September 2010, Avary confirmed that The Rocket Summer would be joining the annual Australian music festival Soundwave in 2011 which tours the country's capital cities.

Hamann and Tarantino starred in the film, along with several video store and acting class buddies, and worked on the crew, which included fellow Video Archives employees Rand Vossler and Roger Avary.

Among this group, Avary met an odd and brilliant film enthusiast, Quentin Tarantino.

When the third filmmaker never materialized, Tarantino and Avary took their respective stories and expanded them into full length screenplays separately.

The film was also an influence on Tarantino ; according to Avary, Tarantino, while rewriting Pulp Fiction, added the heroin scenes after viewing a rough cut of Killing Zoe.

In 1993, Scott directed True Romance costing just $ 13m, from a script by Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary.
