Quentin Tarantino Says His Tenth Film Will Be His Last

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has said that he will retire after his tenth feature film, according to Variety. He made the statement on an episode of "The Graham Norton Show," a British talk show.

Tarantino also confirmed that he has finished writing the script for that final project. However, he said he will not work much further on the script until his play, "The Popinjay Cavalier," closes.

The other guests on that episode were Ellen DeGeneres, Colin Farrell and Gemma Chan. It was Tarantino's first appearance on the show in more than a decade.

"The Popinjay Cavalier" began as a screenplay. Tarantino later realized that the story also worked as a play.

The play stars Sacha Baron Cohen. It is described as a swashbuckling comedy, which is a lively adventure story full of sword fights and daring deeds.

"The Popinjay Cavalier" will open at London's Phoenix Theatre next March. Previews will begin in late February.

The play is set to run for three months and will close on June 13.

Tarantino's most recent release is "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," which came out in 2019. That film earned several Academy Award nominations. Brad Pitt won the Oscar for best supporting actor, and Barbara Ling and Nancy Haigh won the Oscar for best production design. Tarantino was nominated for best picture and best director, and Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated for best actor.
