Los Angeles [US], March 7 : Academy Award-winning filmmaker Quentin Tarantino is all set to make a directorial comeback with an original play written by himself, reported Variety.
As per the report, Tarantino has written an "old-fashioned British farce", which aims to open in the West End, bringing together a troupe of actors in the physical comedy vein of 'Noises Off'.
The play is likely to open next fall, stated an industry source, as per Variety.
In August last year, Quentin Tarantino teased about his play, stating that he was planning to dedicate a "year and a half to two years" to make it happen.
On the work front, the filmmaker-actor was recently seen in Jamie Adams' 'Only What We Carry', co-starring Charlotte Gainsbourg, Simon Pegg, Sofia Boutella, Liam Hellmann, and Lizzy McAlphine.
Speaking about his performance, director Jamie Adams described him as a "naturally gifted" actor, further adding, "He loves actors. He loves cinema history. Being in France making something that felt inspired by Rohmer excited him."
The filmmaker was also in headlines following rumours about his death during the Israel-Iran conflict.
Rumours spread on the social media platform X, claiming that Quentin Tarantino was killed in a missile attack in Israel. The posts quickly gained attention and were shared widely. However, according to TMZ, the claims are not true.
A source close to Quentin told TMZ, "Quentin is alive and well, and his family is all good too," putting an end to the online speculation.
The false claims surfaced during a tense time in the region.
Notably, Quentin Tarantino is known for dividing his time between Israel and Los Angeles. His wife, Daniella Pick, is an Israeli actress, musician, and model. The couple has two children.
In the past, Tarantino has spoken about how much he enjoys living in Israel, even though the region faces ongoing tensions.
