Quentin Tarantino's Future Projects Hint at Continued Cinematic Brilliance

Quentin Tarantino has long maintained that he will retire after directing ten movies, as per his ten-movie rule. However, a new book about the filmmaker's life suggests that this may not be the case. Following the release of his ninth film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino's upcoming movie, The Movie Critic, is expected to be his final directorial work.

The plot of The Movie Critic remains largely unknown, except that it centers around a film critic inspired by a real person, with Brad Pitt set to star. The speculation that this film may be Tarantino's last has sparked more interest in his life and career. In 2024, a graphic novel biography by Michele Botton titled Quentin Tarantino: A Graphic Biography will be released. This book includes fictional conversations with Tarantino and his collaborators like Leonardo DiCaprio, offering a unique perspective on his career and upbringing. It showcases a way for Tarantino to continue his presence on the big screen even after completing his ten-movie goal.

Botton’s graphic novel Quentin Tarantino: A Graphic Biography focuses on the filmmaker’s writing skills and how they contribute to his success. Tarantino is known for writing all the movies he directs, including two screenplays in the 1990s for films he didn’t end up directing: True Romance (1993) and From Dusk till Dawn (1996).

Despite the challenges Tarantino faced with his screenplay for Natural Born Killers being heavily revised by director Oliver Stone, he now has more control over who directs his scripts. This could allow him to continue making movies even if he decides not to direct them himself. Just like Tim Burton did with The Nightmare Before Christmas, where he created the story, characters, and served as an executive producer without directing the film.

Tarantino's early years filled with a love for movies and his time at Video Archives could be the perfect material for an exciting biopic. From his rapid success in Hollywood during the 90s to his continued recognition as an auteur in the 2020s, a biopic looking back at his life might be a hit, especially if it includes his signature film style. While Tarantino often makes appearances in his own films, having other actors portray him in a biopic could be a great way to showcase his name on the big screen again after The Movie Critic.
