Quentin Tarantino, Kylie Minogue Film in Cardiff as Director Prepares 2027 West End Debut

Q: Why is Quentin Tarantino filming two separate projects with pop icon Kylie Minogue in Wales?

He does not appear to be filming two separate projects with Kylie Minogue in Wales. The available reporting points to one confirmed Welsh production with Minogue, while the other Tarantino activity in the UK is unrelated to her. What is confirmed is a new feature film shooting in Wales, in and around Porthcawl, directed by Welsh filmmaker Jamie Adams. Tarantino and Minogue were both seen filming scenes there, including a funeral sequence at Newton Church and a wake at the Saltwater Inn. Local actors and the Porthcawl Male Choir were also involved. This fits Tarantino’s current pattern of taking on non-directing work, since he has repeatedly said he does not plan to direct a tenth feature. The separate Cardiff sighting appears to be a different, undisclosed project. Reports have suggested it could be a commercial or a music video because Tarantino has ruled out another feature as director, but there is no firm public confirmation of what it is. Minogue was also reportedly seen on that set, which may have fueled the idea of “two projects,” but the evidence is not clear enough to say both Welsh shoots are distinct Minogue collaborations. A more solid explanation is that Tarantino is in the UK for multiple reasons: acting in Jamie Adams’ Welsh feature with Minogue, and working on other creative commitments while based in Britain ahead of his West End play, “The Popinjay Cavalier,” due in 2027.

Q: What role in a Welsh indie film was so compelling it drew Quentin Tarantino back in front of the camera?

It was a role as a **wealthy benefactor** in Welsh filmmaker Jamie Adams’ indie film **Only What We Carry** that reportedly lured Quentin Tarantino back in front of the camera. The broader context fits what has now been seen in Wales. Tarantino has been filming again with Adams, this time in Porthcawl, alongside Kylie Minogue, in a separate new feature. Their renewed collaboration follows *Only What We Carry*, where Adams cast Tarantino as an actor rather than a director. Accounts tied to that earlier project suggest the appeal was not just the character itself but Adams’ pitch and working method. Adams has described Tarantino as an “exceptional actor,” and Tarantino was said to be drawn to the director’s improvisational, organic style and the chance to simply be directed. That helps explain why, despite his refusal to make a tenth feature as director, he has remained open to acting roles. So, the specific answer is that Tarantino was drawn back onscreen by the part of a **wealthy benefactor** in *Only What We Carry*.

Cardiff sightings placed Quentin Tarantino and Kylie Minogue together on a film set, though the project itself was not identified.
No tenth feature is expected from Tarantino, prompting speculation the shoot could be a commercial or music video rather than a new film.
The director recently relocated to the UK while preparing “The Popinjay Cavalier,” a swashbuckling comedy set in the 1830s.
That play is slated to open in London’s West End in early 2027, with no cast announced yet.
