Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Final’ Film to Get $20 Million California Tax Subsidy
variety.comGene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Quentin Tarantino’s reputed “final” film will get a $20.2 million subsidy from the state of California, the state’s film commission announced Friday.
The film has been rumored to center on the life of Pauline Kael, with a working title of “The Movie Critic.” It is among 16 films to be awarded state tax credits in the latest allocation.
California awards $330 million per year in state subsidies for film and TV shows in order to keep production in the state. For the purposes of its tax credit application, the Tarantino film is identified only as “#10,” for the director’s 10th film, which he has said will be his last. “I love shooting in California,” Tarantino said in a statement. “I started directing movies here and it is only fitting that I shoot my final motion picture in the cinema capital of the world.
There is nothing like shooting in my hometown; the crews are the best I’ve ever worked with, and the locations are amazing. The producers and I are thrilled to be making #10 in Los Angeles.” The California Film Commission also granted $20 million to an untitled Netflix project, and $20.7 million to a Sony film called “Under My Skin,” which is rumored to be a biopic of Frank Sinatra.
