At the San Diego Comic-Con in 2014, Tarantino revealed he is contemplating a possible science-fiction film that would also contain horror elements. Tarantino stated the film would "not be a spaceship movie" and would take place on Earth. He was inspired to create the project after watching It Follows, which he enjoyed, but said “It’s one of those movies that’s so good that you start getting mad at it for not being great. The fact that he didn’t take it all the way makes me not just disappointed but almost a little angry.” The project, which Tarantino stated was also inspired by The Thing, Halloween, Stalker and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, was described as a "slasher sci-fi horror", but ultimately canceled the film, saying that his writing style "was too wordy for horror". However, in 2019, he said he would love to revive the project as his final film.
