Good news, Quentin Tarantino fans: THR reports that the director will present a “secret screening” at the Cannes Film Festival this month. Is it “The Movie Critic,” QT’s purported tenth and final film? No, of course not; he plans to start shooting that later this year.

Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent Quentin Tarantino has been named honorary guest at the upcoming edition of Directors’ Fortnight, the selection running alongside the Cannes Film Festival. The tribute will take place on May 25, on the closing of Directors Fortnight. “As an exceptional and generous cinephile, Tarantino is at home at the Fortnight. He will be our guest this year to present a secret screening and discuss his counter-history of cinema,” said Directors’ Fortnight in a statement. Tarantino was recently in Paris to promote his first non-fiction book, “Cinema Speculation,” which tells his coming-of-age as a director through a look at iconic American films from the 1970s era.

Quentin Tarantino has weighed in on the debate around gun laws in the US, saying he owns a gun “for protection”.After a recent spate of shootings in the United States, calls are once again being made for gun reform.Asked about his opinion on the topic by El Pais, Tarantino said there are “always two sides” to the debate, adding: “We certainly don’t need as many automatic weapons as there are. There should be better laws.

Quentin Tarantino has said that he is “ready to quit” making movies following an illustrious 30-year career in the industry.The director and screenwriter, who has helmed such classics as Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, initially said in 2009 that he planned to retire once he reached the age of 60 – which he did on March 27 this year – to “go and write novels and cinema literature, stuff like that”.Tarantino reiterated that desire in 2014 while promoting his 2015 movie The Hateful Eight, outlining his plan to “leave a 10-film filmography”. However, he said at the time that this was “not etched in stone”.Last month, Tarantino announced the title of his 10th film – The Movie Critic – which is likely to be his final big-screen project.

Diari ARA this week.He continued, “And the truth is that, in real life, it’s a pain to shoot sex scenes, everyone is very tense. And if it was already a bit problematic to do it before, now it is even more so.”However, the director did note that if there was ever an intimate scene that was “essential” to the story of the film, he would go for it, but it “hasn’t been necessary.”His 1997 film, “Jackie Brown,” is the only movie that features a racy scene between Bridget Fonda and Robert De Niro. The movie followed a flight attendant, who was played by Pam Grier, showing her journey as she navigates getting busted for smuggling money.

Quentin Tarantino suggested that sex scenes are unnecessary when working on his films. The 60-year-old "Pulp Fiction" director pointed out that he includes barely any nudity in his projects because he said it’s "problematic." "It’s true, sex is not part of my vision of cinema," Tarantino told Spain’s Diari ARA during an interview.

Fans of Quentin Tarantino’s cinematic output may have noticed that there’s one area where the acclaimed filmmaker rarely visits: the bedroom.

Quentin Tarantino has said the poor box office performance of Death Proof impacted his confidence as a director.The 2007 action-thriller stars Kurt Russell as a stuntman who murders young women with modified cars. The film grossed only $31million (£24.9m) at the box office on a budget of $30million, which is considered a failure compared to Tarantino’s other works.Speaking to Spanish outlet Diari ARA to promote his latest book Cinema Speculation, the director explained how the film’s poor reception led to him receiving more project proposals from Hollywood.“I have been lucky enough to write stories that have connected with many people, and this has allowed me to practise my art without restrictions that most filmmakers have,” Tarantino said.“Now, a funny thing happened: for a while I was getting a lot of project proposals, until the studios ended up assuming that I do my stories and it wasn’t worth the effort.

Quentin Tarantino is known mainly to the public for his many acclaimed films and multiple Oscar statues; however, with his successes, there was a time when the filmmaker had some brief lows too. Back in 2007, Tarantino’s take on the drive-in slasher genre with “Death Proof” starring Kurt Russell (“The Hateful Eight“) as a stuntman/killer, was considered one of his worst films as audiences weren’t terribly thrilled with its opening weekend and essentially became a flop.
