Quentin Tarantino Thinks This Role Is the Best Character He’s Ever Written

But the all-time favourite character the director has ever written happens to be a Nazi officer. It’s a plan he’s been talking about for a while now-usually around the time a movie of his is in theaters-and it’s been pretty consistent for at least four years now. The writer-director has revealed that he may one day return from retirement to make a new movie, despite the fact that he’s still a good few years off throwing in the towel.

Quentin Tarantino recently spoke to a sold-out crowd at a film festival in Jerusalem, and he named Christoph Waltz’s Oscar-winning role of Hans Landa in the irritatingly spelled “Inglourious Basterds” as the best character he’s ever written. Do you disagree with Tarantino’s choice? “I was getting anxious”, he said.

Although he didn’t say at the Jerusalem event what he intends to do with all that time in between, he’s been pretty open about it previously.

Quentin Tarantino has long said that once he’s made ten films, that’s it. Why? “So it’ll be two more”, Tarantino told Variety. I gave myself one more week and then I was going to pull the plug. Tarantino has claimed that he will retire after film No. 10 but we will be forever grateful for the array of iconic personalities he’s granted us. An 11th film isn’t completely off the table, though-Tarantino said that if there’s one more story in him at 75, he’ll make it, but it will be “that geriatric one [that] exists completely on its own in the old folks’ home”. “So it doesn’t contaminate the other 10”.

The filmmaker didn’t want to move forward with the movie without the ideal Colonel Landa.

We can therefore assume that Tarantino’s 10th and final film will be a critique of his previous nine, and should – no shade – be an absolute f***ing riot. I am all about my filmography, and one bad film f***s up three good ones.

“If I get to the tenth, do a good job and don’t screw it up, well that sounds like a good way to end the old career”.
