Quentin Tarantino delivers crucial update on his 11th and final film

It's been six years since cinephiles have been blessed with a Quentin Tarantino masterpiece but the director has just shared a crucial and hopeful update on when he might return to the director's chair again.

The director made an appearance at this year's Sundance Film Festival and shared plans of when he's returning to cinema and how he is balancing filmmaking and fatherhood side by side as he enters the sixth decade of his life. Quentin Tarantino opened up on prioritizing his family as his children grew up and decided to dial down his work to spend more time with them. Speaking to the audience he said,

“I’m in no hurry to actually jump into production. I’ve been doing that for 30 years. Next month my son turns 5, 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. I kind of 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.”

However, Quentin Tarantino did leave some hope to hold on to for fans as he talked about having a play in progress under his arms that he hopes will someday make its way to the big screens. He also added that the project might just be his last.

“If you’re wondering what I’m doing right now, I’m writing a play, and it’s going to be probably 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.”

Quentin Tarantino opens up on why he prefers plays over films

The celebrated director, Quentin Tarantino, has been a major figure in filmmaking, having delivered masterpieces of films that have made their way to become some of the best pieces in Hollywood. However, Tarantino prefers writing stage plays over films for screens, as he ranted on about plays being the final frontier and being more challenging and how the film scene has only gotten worse.

“Well, what the f**k is a movie now? What — something that plays in theaters for a token release for four f**king weeks? All right, and by the second week you can watch it on television. I didn’t get into all this for diminishing returns. I mean, it was bad enough in ’97. It was bad enough in 2019, and that was the last f**king year of movies. That was a shit deal, as far as I was concerned, the fact that it’s gotten drastically worse? And that it’s just it’s a show pony exercise. Now the theatrical release, you know, and then like yeah, in two weeks, you can watch it on this [streamer] and that one. Okay. Theater? You can’t do that. It’s the final frontier.”
