Quentin Tarantino shares a disappointing update regarding his tenth and final movie. After writing and directing nine films, Tarantino surprisingly revealed plans to end his feature directorial career after his tenth movie, citing a desire to go out on a high note with a body of work he can be proud of. For his final feature, Tarantino has teased ideas ranging from Kill Bill 3 to a Western, horror, or comedy film. However, at this point, nearly nothing is known for certain about his anticipated tenth and final film other than it will be an original script.
During a recent appearance on YMH Studios' 2 Bears, 1 Cave podcast with Tom Segura, Tarantino provided a disappointing update regarding his final film. The illustrious auteur says he hasn't started writing his tenth movie, nor has he even thought about what it will be. When asked if his final film is written yet, Tarantino responded, "No, I haven't even thought about it yet."
Tarantino Movie Ideas That He Could Make For His 10th Film
While Tarantino hasn't even started thinking about what his tenth and final film could be, he has plenty of old ideas which he can repurpose. The director has expressed interest in his tenth film being a horror flick if he is able to come up with a “terrific” concept. Other unused ideas Tarantino has mentioned in the past include a John Brown biopic, which would make for an interesting Western. Another genre possibility could be a 1930s-style gangster movie which Tarantino once expressed interest in making.
Tarantino recently said his final film will be a wholly original work, which seemingly rules out Kill Bill 3 and several franchise possibilities like an R-rated Star Trek film, James Bond, or Marvel's Luke Cage. This was largely expected considering that all but one of Tarantino's films, Jackie Brown, are original scripts. While Tarantino's tenth film will continue this tradition, it doesn't appear he has given any more thought to what it might be about.
While the director's recent update may be disappointing for some fans, Tarantino taking his time should only end up benefiting the final product in the end. Perfection can't be rushed under normal circumstances, especially when it comes to Tarantino capping off his illustrious filmography with one last magnum opus. In the meantime, fans can enjoy the filmmaker's various works, including his new book Cinema Speculation. Tarantino has also written and plans to direct an eight-episode limited series next year. Instead of his final film which is much further off, the focus should now squarely be on what Quentin Tarantino's television series could be about, which some speculate to be his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood spinoff Bounty Law.
