“If it was already a bit problematic to do it before, now it is even more so. If there had ever been an s*x scene that was essential to the story, I would have, but so far, it hasn’t been necessary.”

“I like that I will leave a 10-film filmography, and so I’ve got two more to go after this. It’s not etched in stone, but that is the plan. If I get to the tenth, do a good job, and don’t screw it up, well, that sounds like a good way to end the old career. If, later on, I come across a good movie, I won’t do it just because I said I wouldn’t. But 10 and done, leaving them wanting more — that sounds right.”

In March, the director confided in The Hollywood Reporter that four years after his last film, Once Upon a Time….. in Hollywood, he had started working on his 10th film.
