Quentin Tarantino‘s debut play is eyeing an early 2027 London launch, potentially in the West End.
Tarantino revealed last summer that he was working on a play, saying: “The play is written. It is absolutely the next thing I’m going to do. We’ll start the ball rolling on it in January… It’s probably going to take up a year and a half to two years of my life.”
The UK’s Daily Mail followed with a report on Friday that the play would be an “old-fashioned British farce” in the physical comedy vein of 1980’s Michael Frayn classic Noises Off. We hear from sources that that’s pretty accurate and the expected launch date for the play is January 2027. Still no word on casting. Tarantino has scripted and will direct.
David Fincher’s The Adventures of Cliff Booth, scripted by Tarantino, is due to launch on Netflix later this year. There are hopes from industry watchers that it could find its way to the Venice Film Festival, where Fincher and Netflix launched The Killer three years ago.
As we first told you in spring ’24, Tarantino scrapped plans to make a film called The Movie Critic as his final feature. The Pulp Fiction writer-director has committed to making ten films in his career and is still weighing up what to make as his tenth and supposedly final picture.
We also revealed that Tarantino recently took on his biggest acting role in decades with a part in drama Only What We Carry.
Apocryphal reports surfaced online this week that the Oscar winner was killed in an Iranian missile attack on Israel, where the filmmaker splits his time with LA.
