He said he has a script for a film he &#8220;could&#8221; do, and it&#8217;s one he also happens to &#8220;really, really like,&#8221; but he&#8217;s got a checklist of things to take care of before diving into it.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve written a script that I could do that I really, really like, but I have to do the play and see who I am, right?&#8221; Tarantino said, referencing his upcoming West End play, The Popinjay Cavalier.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-313219616\"><img alt=\"null\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><figcaption data-cy=\"caption\" class=\"caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption\">Quentin Tarantino.

That means we&#8217;ve got some waiting to do before Tarantino will begin the &#8220;then live&#8221; phase of his pre-movie plan. How long it will be before he then decides on a script, begins production, and settles on a release date remains to be seen, but don&#8217;t expect to hear any significant updates for a while.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Tarantino mentioned <u>wanting to finish his career as a movie director at film number 10<\/u> a few years before the release of his eighth film, <u>The Hateful Eight<\/u>, in 2014. As Once Upon a Time\u2026 in Hollywood came and went as his ninth project in 2019, his decision to put a cap on his big-screen presence has only become more controversial amongst fans.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Ranking the Movies of Quentin Tarantino<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"We're looking back at Quentin Tarantino's filmography and ranking his feature-length movies.\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2277167929 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">A filmmaker with a very specific number of <u>trend-setters<\/u> \u2013 including Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds, and Django Unchained \u2013 the idea of intentionally ending his time as an artist has been deemed confusing and disappointing.
