Quentin Tarantino could shoot his last film in summer 2027

After abandoning The Movie Critic, the filmmaker finally seems ready to embark on his tenth and final feature film, if we are to believe his faithful director of photography, Robert Richardson.

Quentin Tarantino has been saying for several years that he will end his career as a director after his tenth film. If the project remains shrouded in mystery, a new indiscretion suggests that things are finally starting to become clearer.

Asked by DeadlineRobert Richardson, cinematographer of all Tarantino films since Kill Bill: Volume 1revealed that the filmmaker could begin filming his final feature film in the summer of 2027.

“No, no one knows what he’s going to do“, he admits straight away before moving forward:

“We know he’s going to finish his play first, so he won’t be filming before then. It is possible that it will start next summer (2027). I have absolutely no idea what the subject is, but he will not continue on the path he is currently on…“

Even one of the director’s closest collaborators is therefore unaware of the content of this mysterious project.

This declaration comes more than a year after the abandonment of The Movie Criticlong touted as Quentin Tarantino’s tenth film.

Robert Richardson also reveals that he was involved in its preparation before the director suddenly changed direction: “He called me to say, ‘I’m going to change the script. It will be another film.’ Then he started preparing this new project, before everything went in another direction and disappeared…“

While waiting to learn more about his ultimate achievement, Quentin Tarantino will soon meet the public again as screenwriter of The Adventures of Cliff Booththe independent sequel to Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. Directed by David Fincher, the film will be released in IMAX on November 25, 2026 before being offered on Netflix. Then Tarantino will present his very first play to the world.
