Director Quentin Tarantino has confirmed that he has written a script for his tenth and final feature film, but announced he will not pursue production immediately.
Plans for the final film
Tarantino shared the update during an appearance on “The Graham Norton Show,” marking his first time on the program in over a decade. He appeared alongside guests Ellen DeGeneres, Colin Farrell, and Gemma Chan.
Discussing his retirement plan following his tenth feature, Tarantino said he wrote a script he really likes. However, he stated he intends to finish his theatrical play, see who he is, spend time with his family, and live a little before deciding his next steps on the film project.
Focus on “The Popinjay Cavalier”
Before returning to film work, Tarantino is turning his attention to his play, “The Popinjay Cavalier.” He revealed that the project initially began as a screenplay before he realized it worked better as a stage production.
Starring Sacha Baron Cohen, the swashbuckling comedy is scheduled to open at London’s Phoenix Theatre next March, following previews in late February. The production is slated for a three-month run, closing on June 13.
Tarantino’s most recent feature film release was 2019’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” which received multiple Academy Award nominations and wins.
