Quentin Tarantino has a script in mind for his next movie, but he’s taking his time.

The 63-year-old filmmaker, who has long said he plans to stop directing movies after his tenth film, shared an update during his appearance on The Graham Norton Show on Friday (October 16).

For now, his priority is his first stage play, The Popinjay Cavalier.

What Does Quentin Tarantino Say About His Tenth Movie?

“I’ve written a script that I really like, but I want to do the play and see who I am,” Quentin said, per Variety.

After that, he plans to spend time with his family and “live a little” before returning to the question of another movie.

Quentin previously planned to make The Movie Critic his final film before shelving the project. Find out why he decided against making that movie.

His most recent release is 2019’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

What Is Quentin Tarantino’s Stage Play About?

The Popinjay Cavalier is written and directed by Quentin and stars Sacha Baron Cohen.

According to the production’s official website, the comedy takes place in 1830s Europe. It follows an actor whose trip to perform in Paris takes a dangerous turn after he makes some ill-advised comments about the French.

Quentin told Graham that he initially began writing the story as a screenplay before realizing it would work as a play.

“I am very happy with the results,” he said on The Graham Norton Show.

“I want to keep the story a little under wraps but it’s jumping off from the swashbuckling movie genre with a French farce quality to it. I think it will be thrilling.”

The production is scheduled to run at London’s Phoenix Theatre, beginning with previews on February 23, 2027 before its official opening night on March 18, 2027 through its final performance on June 13, 2027.
