00:19It's probably going to be the next thing I end up doing."
00:21But he didn't rule out the possibility of his play ending up on the big screen.
00:26If it's a fiasco, I probably won't turn it into a movie,

00:35as it was widely reported that his project The Film Critic would be his big-screen final bow,
00:40following Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt.

00:49and then go into production in early 2025, with A-list talent attached, including Pitt,

01:01get back behind the camera. His two children,
01:04I'm in no hurry to actually jump into production. I've been doing that for 30 years.
