Tarantino Delays Final Movie to Focus on Family: Here’s Why

by

As a die-hard Quentin Tarantino enthusiast, I must admit to feeling a tinge of anticipation suspension as the esteemed filmmaker seems to be pushing back the release date of his swansong movie further than initially anticipated. After gracing our screens with the captivating “Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood” featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie in 2019, many believed that Tarantino was well on his way to wrapping up work on his 11th and final film titled “The Movie Critic.” However, recent developments suggest that the director has reconsidered this project, opting instead for a fresh start.

He expressed at Sundance Film Festival (as reported by Variety) that it might take a while before he returns to directing, as he’s currently engrossed in fatherhood.” Translating his words, he stated, “I’m not rushing into production just yet.” Having been involved in filmmaking for three decades, he added. Although this news may disappoint some fans, the director’s reason is touching and understandable: he wants to take a break for a few years to focus on being a devoted father.

In a month, my son will be celebrating his 5th birthday, and I have a daughter who is almost three years old. When I’m in America, I write. In Israel, I’m a father, or ‘abba.’ The thought of embarking on a journey when they are still too young to comprehend it doesn’t appeal to me.

Quentin Tarantino hasn’t specified an exact release date for his next film. Instead, he provided fans with a general idea of when they might expect him to return to filmmaking. The director expressed that he wants to wait until his son is at least 6 years old before starting his next project. This way, the son will understand what’s happening and can be part of the experience, creating a lasting memory for him. In contrast, Tarantino noted that his daughter, being so intelligent, already understands the process well.

Quentin Tarantino Teases His Final Movie

Despite the fact that it will be at least two years before we can expect a new Quentin Tarantino film in theaters, he’s currently working on something fresh – a play, which might be his next project. He hinted this during an interview, but no specifics about the play have been disclosed yet. Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Tarantino has penned a script for another director; he wrote the 1993 drama “True Romance,” which was directed by Tony Scott and starred Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette.

Enthusiasts of Quentin Tarantino are persistently seeking hints about the director’s impending last movie. However, the location where these clues might surface could possibly be the theater stage. In a playful manner, Tarantino hinted that if the project fails, it wouldn’t become a film. But he added a significant revelation: “If it’s a success? It might be my last movie.” It remains unclear whether this statement was made in jest. Given that Tarantino has always crafted films from his original stories, his own play technically qualifies as an original script. However, since he will have already produced it on stage, there’s speculation that his final film might be something entirely new and unique.
