The photo itself created quite a stir among fans worldwide as many of them hoped that both Martin and Tarantino were meeting up for an upcoming secret project.
However, in Malaysia, the photo created an even bigger buzz online as local fans were quick to point out that the both of them were on the Sarawak River Cruise in Kuching, Sarawak.
On Thursday, the man who killed off all your favourite GoT characters tweeted:
Just two guys who love movies. (Still hoping we can check out each other's theaters one of these days) @qtarantino #TBT pic.twitter.com/ZEs97jCLTD

Since his Tweet contained the Throwback Thursday hashtag, nobody knows for sure when the pair hung out at the Land of the Hornbills.
The tweet was also re-tweeted by Tarantino and garnered over 5,7000 re-tweets and 23,000 likes at the time of posting.
Here’s how excited Malaysian fans responded to the news of their visit:

So guys, do you think their 'lepak' session was just to catch up with each other or were they scouting possible filming locations?
Let's hope to hear some good news involving them and Malaysia, soon.
