“In this town, it can all change… Like that.”

What’s the story of ‘Only What We Carry’?

The movie is described as “a meditation on love, loss, and the quiet courage it takes to move forward”
Pegg plays Julian Johns, a once-formidable instructor whose former student Charlotte Levant (Boutella) returns home to face the ghosts of her past. Joining them are John Percy (Tarantino), Julian’s old friend whose sudden arrival stirs long-buried truths; Josephine Chabrol (Gainsbourg), Charlotte’s protective sister; Vincent (Hellmann), a restless artist caught between love and loyalty, and Jacqueline (McAlpine), a young aspiring dancer whose presence forces everyone to confront the weight of what they’ve left behind.
Here what Adams said about making the movie:
“It’s always been a dream of mine to shoot an Eric Rohmer styled picture in Normandy, a dream that included collaborating with an exceptional international ensemble cast and crew. It turns out that by embracing the freedoms of independent cinema, that dream has come true. I’m forever grateful to the cast and crew of ‘Only What We Carry’ for this moment.”

That’s the big question right now –– he hasn’t committed to a next (and potentially final) movie and is taking his time deciding.
A film sprung from his script, ‘The Adventures of Cliff Booth’ (which chronicles the further story of Brad Pitt’s ‘Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood’ character, is under way with David Fincher directing.
And Tarantino himself has said he’s also looking to focus on novels, plays and TV.
When will ‘Only What We Carry’ be in theaters?
The team behind the movie has yet to announce when it might hit screens, but we predict plenty of interest given the cast.
