#QuentinTarantino, seemingly doing everything he can to not make his tenth and final film, attended the festival’s opening ceremony at the Grand Lumiére Theatre. His only job – besides walking the red carpet with wife Daniella – was to introduce the festival as officially starting. (It will run for the next 12 days.) “It’s my honor to declare the 78th festival open!” Tarantino shouted into the microphone before dropping it. True to form, he pulled it off with aplomb and the kind of borderline-cartoonish energy that characterizes his very best work. While Tarantino hasn’t set his next project, meant to be his swan song as a director, there is a chance he could return to Cannes next year with the “#OnceUponaTimeinHollywood” spinoff film, directed by #DavidFincher and once again starring #BradPitt, which is meant to shoot in Los Angeles this summer. Hey, it could happen. 🔗 link in bio for more on this story.
