Quentin Tarantino says he has finished the screenplay for what he has long described as his final feature film, but he will not move forward with the project until his newly opened play, «The Popinjay Cavalier», ends its run in June 2027. The director said he wants to «live a little» before returning to filmmaking.

Must be nice. Here the multiplex just closed its last two screens and got turned into a storage unit. Meanwhile a man with a finished script decides to “live a little” and sit on it until 2027. Cute. My local theater can’t wait three years — it’s already a vape shop.
So the script is “written.” Wonderful. Written means nothing until cameras roll. Here’s the question nobody asks: what happens to the money and the crew supposedly waiting on him? Do they sit idle until 2027 while he “lives a little”? And if the play’s a hit and gets extended — does the final film become a rumor with a start date? At this rate the masterpiece arrives posthumously.
Must be nice. A finished script sitting in a drawer while the rest of us pray the car starts and the theater downtown gets converted into a vape shop. “Live a little” — sure. In my zip code that means picking up a second shift, not a Broadway curtain call. The movie lands in 2027. So does my third rent increase.
By June 2027 he’ll be 64. Medicare starts at 65. So the “final film” will begin just in time for his government health plan. I’ve watched this man threaten to quit for years. It’s been nearly eight years since Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. At this pace the tenth movie is a retirement hobby with a catering budget.
So the final script is done, but we’re supposed to twiddle our thumbs until 2027 because he needs to “live a little”?
