For years, Quentin Tarantino has been saying his tenth movie would be his last. Then, he announced it was going to be The Movie Critic.
However, Deadline says it is no longer the case. Why? They say he just had a change of heart.
This is the second film he has shelved since announcing he is retiring. The first was The Hateful Eight.
And this is why you never announce that something is your last until after it comes out.
There is a lot of pressure to make it the best thing you ever did. And nothing will ever be good enough. Plus, what if you decide that you don’t want to stop doing what you love? Now, you are stuck with that being the end of your career or be deemed a liar.
If I were the director, I would hold a presser and say that after a lot of consideration, he has decided that his 10th film will not necessarily be his final movie because he is not ready to ride off into the sunset. This way, he has an out.
Because at this rate Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is going to be his swan song.
