Quentin Tarantino in “No Hurry” to Direct His Final Movie; Working on A Stage Play Instead

Ever since Quentin Tarantino scrapped what was supposed to be his tenth and final film, “The Movie Critic,” starring Brad Pitt, we haven’t heard much of an update in regard to another potential project of his being in the works.

Tarantino was a special guest, to a very receptive audience, at this afternoon’s Sundance Film Festival panel, and finally addressed why he’s paused his next project.

Tarantino says he flew to Utah directly from Israel for a single conversation with Elvis Mitchell, former film critic, academic and host. Mitchell went right to the most pertaining question, not even waiting it out, by asking Tarantino about the delays that have plagued his, supposedly, final film.

“I’m in no hurry to actually jump into production,” Tarantino said. “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.”

Tarantino continued: “The idea of jumping on a voyage when they’re too young to understand it is not enticing to me. 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.”

Echoing what he told Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast just a few months ago, Tarantino goes on to explain that what he’s doing “right now” is “writing a play,” and that it’s going to “probably be the next thing” he does. Not just that, “if it’s a smash hit? It might be my last movie.”

Last year, Tarantino was gearing up to shoot “The Movie Critic,” that is until he decided to scrap the project entirely for, what some claimed was, another film. Word is that Tarantino rewrote the ‘Movie Critic’ script, had a new draft and then, quite simply, had a change of heart.
