According to a report in Variety<\/a>, the project is a new film by Adams, who cast Tarantino in his previous film Only What We Carry, which premiered on 6 June at the Tribeca film festival in New York. Described as an \u201cimprovisational drama shot in six days on the Normandy coast\u201d, Only What We Carry stars Charlotte Gainsbourg as a dancer and Simon Pegg as her former choreographer, with Tarantino appearing in a small role as \u201ca wealthy benefactor\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a Variety report in February<\/a>, Adams said he had sent Tarantino the script for Only What We Carry, then met him over Zoom and persuaded him to appear, saying: \u201cOnce you hear his voice, you\u2019re transported. It\u2019s like Disneyland for film-makers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Quentin Tarantino and Kylie Minogue have been spotted in Welsh seaside town Porthcawl as they film a new…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":490503,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-490502","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490502","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=490502"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490502\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/490503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=490502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=490502"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=490502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
