Quentin Tarantino is going to make his self-declared “final” film in his hometown of Los Angeles, and the Golden State is welcoming the Oscar winner with open and lucrative arms.

Snaring $20, 213,000 for #10, the Oscar winner was among 16 films conditionally approved for $77.8 million in total tax incentives today by the California Film Commission. “I love shooting in California,” Tarantino said today “I started directing movies here and it is only fitting that I shoot my final motion picture in the cinema capital of the world,” the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood director added of the film that has been bandied about as The Movie Critic in recent months. “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.” Often one to put the City of Angels on the big screen, this latest award follows the $18 million that Tarantino was allocated in  in late 2017 through California’s $330 annual program for his last picture.

Proving a boon to the $330 million annual program’s primary directive of job creation, the Oscar winning Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Al Pacino and Leonardo DiCaprio starring Once also help boost on-location shooting days in Greater LA in 2018 up double digits over the year before.
