By Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino is pivoting away from filmmaking for his next project it seems.
The celebrated auteur spoke with famed journalist and film insider Elvis Mitchell during an interview at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. During the talk, the inevitable topic of Tarantino’s next film (likely his last) was raised.
Tarantino has long held to his promise that his tenth directorial effort would be his last. For a while, it was looking to be the film “The Movie Critic” about a guy who wrote film reviews for skin mags in the 1970s. Tarantino then ditched the project back in April.
Since then it has been anybody’s guess as to what he’s up to next, and this week he finally gave us a rough idea – and it doesn’t involve film…yet:
“If you’re wondering what I’m doing right now. I’m writing a play. It’s probably going to be the next thing I end up doing. If it’s a fiasco I probably won’t turn it into a movie. But if it’s a smash hit? It might be my last movie.”
Tarantino also explains that he’s in no hurry to get back behind the camera because he has kids he’s looking after and wants the eldest to reach an age where he can understand what his father does:
“I’m in no hurry to actually jump into production. I’ve been doing that for 30 years. Next month my son turns five, and I have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. When I’m in America, I’m writing. When I’m in Israel? I’m an abba, which means father.
The idea of jumping on a voyage when they’re too young to understand it is not enticing to me. I want to not do whatever movie I end up doing until my son is at least 6. That way he’ll know what’s going on, he’ll be there and it will be a memory for the rest of his life.”
Tarantino’s last film, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” opened in cinemas in 2019.
