Director says making a film when his two kids are ‘too young to understand’ doesn’t appeal to him. Quentin Tarantino said he’s in no rush to start directing his final feature film, saying he has grown disillusioned with the “diminishing returns” from his movies.
The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood director, 61, who currently lives in Israel, said childcare now takes up most of his time and that he doesn’t see the appeal in staring a new film that his two young children wouldn’t be able to watch. In April last year, news broke that the Pulp Fiction director had dropped plans forThe Movie Critic, which he had said would be his directorial swan song. It was reported at the time that Tarantino “simply had a change of heart” and so he was “going back to the drawing board to figure out what that final movie will be”.
Speaking in Utah to film critic Elvis Mitchell, Tarantino said: “I’m in no hurry to actually jump into production. “I have been doing that for 30 years. Next month my son turns five, and I have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. When I am in America, I am writing. When I am in Israel? I’m an abba, which means father.
“The idea of jumping on a voyage when they’re too young to understand it is not enticing to me. I kind of want to not do whatever movie I end up doing until my son is at least 6. That way he will know what’s going on, he’ll be there and it will be a memory for the rest of his life. My daughter is already such a genius, she’ll just get it.”.
