US director Quentin Tarantino (60) wants to start shooting for his new film in the fall. The filmmaker said this at a reading of his book “Cinema Speculation” on Wednesday evening in Berlin. There he was asked by moderator Steven Gätjen about his next film “The Movie Critic”, which is said to be Tarantino’s last film.
“We’re probably shooting it late fall this year,” Tarantino said, joking that night not to get your hopes up on the film. He did not provide any information on the cast, and he was also silent on the details of the content.
Tarantino has directed films such as Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, and Django Unchained. The Spanish newspaper “La Vanguardia” recently asked him if it was really true that the next film would be his last? “Yeah, making movies just doesn’t motivate me anymore,” Tarantino was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
In the Admiralspalast in Berlin, Tarantino reacted rather cautiously to Gätjen’s comment that he hoped it wouldn’t be his last film. When asked if he’s made peace with not doing all the movie ideas and if he’s ever thought about a James Bond, Tarantino said if anyone complains about their career, it won’t be him.
Tarantino not only directs but also writes the screenplays. In Berlin, he shared how great it feels to move from city to city with a film and to know that there was a day when it all started with a first page. “It means everything to me,” said the director. He played at the level for 30 years, it doesn’t get any better.
Tarantino told how his parents used to take him to the cinema despite his young age and what memories he has of Germany, where he shot his film “Inglourious Basterds” (released in 2009) in the Babelsberg studio. No photographs were allowed to be taken during the conversation in the Admiralspalast. The audience had to stow cell phones in designated bags.
