Quentin Tarantino is retiring from directing after his final movie He plans to focus on writing and may even consider doing a TV show Find out why he's stepping away from the director's chair and what his future holds
Renowned filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, who has written and directed several iconic movies such as Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, has revealed that he plans to retire from directing after his upcoming film, The Movie Critic. During a recent interview with Deadline, Tarantino disclosed new details about his final film and shared his thoughts on what he might do after his retirement. While he has confirmed his intention to give up directing feature-length films, Tarantino has expressed his willingness to explore other creative avenues such as television, short films, or plays.
I could do a TV show. I didn’t say I’m going to go into the night darkly, all right? I could do a TV show. I could do a short film. I could do a play. All kinds of things I could do, but I’ll probably just be more of a writer.
Why Quentin Tarantino Is Retiring From Directing & What He'll Do After
Tarantino has made it clear that he plans to continue working in the film industry, whether that's through novel writing or theater directing. In fact, he's already announced that he's working on a play and a book, both of which are set to be released in the near future. While it's certainly sad to think that we won't be seeing any more Tarantino-directed films after The Movie Critic, it's reassuring to know that his creative mind will still be at work in other areas of the industry. And who knows – maybe one day he'll change his mind and decide to come out of retirement for one last masterpiece.
Quentin Tarantino is not ruling out the possibility of returning to television in the future, having previously directed episodes of popular shows such as ER and CSI. Despite announcing plans to direct a TV show in 2023, it seems that his focus is currently on his upcoming film, The Movie Critic, which is set to begin pre-production in June. However, fans can still hold out hope for Tarantino to write a script and collaborate with acclaimed filmmakers such as Robert Rodriguez, Edgar Wright, or Guy Ritchie to bring it to life on screen.
