Tarantino Returning in 'Only What We Carry'; Film Wraps

Quentin Tarantino is returning to on-screen acting in Jamie Adams’ drama Only What We Carry, taking what outlets call his biggest role since 1996’s From Dusk Till Dawn as John Percy opposite Sofia Boutella, Simon Pegg, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Liam Hellmann and Lizzy McAlpine. Set on the Normandy/Deauville coast, the ensemble drama follows Boutella’s Charlotte Levant returning home to confront painful memories, with Tarantino’s arrival stirring long-buried tensions. Production reportedly wrapped in France after a brief, six-day shoot, and the film is expected to be ready in 2026, possibly beginning its run on the festival circuit. The casting marks a notable shift back in front of the camera for Tarantino, who has largely focused on directing and occasional cameos while his previously planned film The Movie Critic remains paused. Separately, a Tarantino-scripted follow-up, The Adventures of Cliff Booth (to be directed by David Fincher), is now targeting a 2026 window.
