Sundance: Quentin Tarantino Reveals Why He Hasn’t Been Directing Lately​on January 28, 2025 at 12:03 am

EXCLUSIVE: Thirty-two years after Quentin Tarantino‘s Reservoir Dogs premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, the two-time Oscar winning filmmaker was back in Park City today.

Rarely at a loss of words and a love of cinema, Tarantino — who workshopped the flick starring Tim Roth and Eddie Bunker in Sundance’s Directors Labs before it hit the screen — showed up Monday evening in a surprise sit-down on upper Main Street as the 2025 iteration of the Robert Redford-founded gathering went into its final days.

“I’m in no hurry to jump into production right now, I’ve been doing that for 30 years,” Tarantino told the audience on his emphasis on writing of late. “I kinda want to not end up doing whatever movie I end up doing until my son is 6,” the semi-Israel-based filmmaker and father of two said of his absence from the director’s chair in the past few years.

Of course, the joys of fatherhood and family taken into account, Tarantino revealed he is working on a play that he hopes will see the light of day in the next year.

“If that’s a smash hit, that might be my last movie,” he added, taking a kick at the elephant in the room.

“I’m really jaded,” Tarantino quipped, taking a swing at Sundance and how cold he finds Utah in January now.
