Quentin Tarantino teases retirement
Quentin Tarantino just might have found his last movie to direct.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the legendary filmmaker will be directing The Movie Critic, a script he wrote and is in the midst of putting it into production.
There are not many details known about the movie, but according to the report, the movie will feature a female lead and will be set in Los Angeles in the 1970s, which has led to speculation about the subject of the film being the late film critic, Pauline Kael.
The filmmaker’s last movie was always set to be a special one, with him having well-documented respect for Ms Kael, so it makes sense that she would be the focus of his last film.
Tarantino has long been considering his next movie, pretty much since his Oscar winning Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in 2019.
He spoke to broadcast journalist Chris Wallace about sounding out of touch as the film industry rapidly changes around him; Tarantino explained, “Well, it's... I've been doing it for a long time. I've been doing it for 30 years, and it's.. it's time to wrap up the show.
“Like I said, I'm an entertainer. I want to leave you wanting more you know, and not just work and I don't want to work to diminishing returns.
“I don't want to be... one, I don't want to become this old man who's out of touch when already I'm feeling a bit like an old man out of touch when it comes to the current movies that are out right now. And that's what happens.”
It seems as though a brand new story is where Tarantino will end his directorial career.
