Hollywood auteur <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/hollywood-news/article/quentin-tarantino-fan-of-the-toy-story-trilogy-23381394" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Quentin Tarantino</a> is set to star in the drama, Only What We Carry, along with actor Simon Pegg.
Tarantino, 62, and the Star Trek actor, 55, will feature in writer and director Jamie Adams&rsquo;s upcoming movie.
Tarantino&rsquo;s part in Only What We Carry will be his biggest on-screen role since 1996&rsquo;s From Dusk Till Dawn, though the director has cameoed in some of his own films like Django Unchained (2012) and Pulp Fiction (1994).
As per reports, the filmmaker and Pegg will star alongside Charlotte Gainsbourg, Sofia Boutella, Liam Hellmann, and singer Lizzy McAlpine in what will be her feature debut. It is set along the rugged Normandy <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/maharashtra-drones-to-monitor-illegal-fishing-along-coastline-say-officials-23461290" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">coastline</a>, and is billed as &ldquo;a meditation on love, loss, and the quiet courage it takes to move forward.&rdquo;
Pegg stars as Julian Johns, &ldquo;a once-formidable instructor whose former student Charlotte Levant [Boutella] returns home to face the ghosts of her past. Joining them are John Percy [Tarantino], Julian&rsquo;s old friend whose sudden arrival stirs long-buried truths; Josephine Chabrol [Gainsbourg], Charlotte&rsquo;s protective sister, Vincent [Hellmann], a restless artiste caught between love and loyalty, and Jacqueline [McAlpine], a young aspiring dancer whose presence forces everyone to confront the weight of what they&rsquo;ve left behind.&rdquo;
Adams said in a statement, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s always been a dream of mine to shoot an Eric Rohmer-styled picture in Normandy, a dream that included collaborating with an exceptional international ensemble cast and crew. It turns out that by embracing the freedoms of independent cinema, that dream has come true. I&rsquo;m forever grateful to the cast and crew of Only What We Carry for this moment.&rdquo;
Tarantino, who most recently cameoed in Once Upon a Time in <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/vivek-oberoi-calls-ranbir-kapoors-ramayan-indias-answer-to-hollywood-epics-23600553" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Hollywood</a> (2019), was reportedly pitched the role for Only What We Carry &ldquo;through his agent because he was perfect for the part.&rdquo;
Only What We Carry will be produced by Charles Benoin, Hellmann, and Journi Smit. Tarantino had been working on his tenth and final film The Movie Critic, though ultimately decided to shelve the project after finding he &ldquo;wasn&rsquo;t really that excited&rdquo; about it.
Speaking on The Church of Tarantino podcast, he said, &ldquo;No one&rsquo;s waiting for this thing per se. I mean, I can do it whenever I want. It&rsquo;s already written. So okay, let me just not start it right now. Let me try writing it as a movie and see if it&rsquo;s better that way. This [was] going to be the movie. And then it wasn&rsquo;t. I pulled the plug on it. The reason is a little crazy.&rdquo; The Kill Bill &nbsp;(2003-04) director added he &ldquo;really, really likes&rdquo; The Movie Critic, but it had given him a &ldquo;challenge&rdquo;.
He shared, &ldquo;There was a challenge that I gave to myself when I did it. Can I take the most boring profession in the world and make it an interesting movie? Every Tarantino title promises so much, except The Movie Critic. Who wants to see a TV show about a f****** movie critic? Who wants to see a movie called The Movie Critic? If I can actually make a movie or a TV show about somebody who watches movies, interesting, that is an accomplishment.&rdquo;
