Editing Jim Jarmusch (section)

=== 2010s ===
In an August 2010 interview, Jarmusch revealed his forthcoming work schedule at that time:

<blockquote>I'm working on a documentary about the Stooges [Iggy Pop-fronted band]. It's going to take a few years. There's no rush on it, but it's something that Iggy asked me to do. I'm co-writing an "opera". It won't be a traditional opera, but it'll be about the inventor [[Nikola Tesla]], with the composer Phil Klein. I have a new film project that's really foremost for me that I hope to shoot early next year with Tilda Swinton and Michael Fassbender and Mia Wasikowska, who was Alice in Wonderland in Tim Burton's film. I don't have that quite financed yet, so I'm working on that. I'm also making music and hoping to maybe score some silent films to put out. Our band will have an EP that we'll give out at ATP. We have enough music for three EPs or an album.<ref name=pitchforkinterview/></blockquote>

Jarmusch eventually attained funding for the aforementioned film project after a protracted period and, in July 2012, Jarmusch began shooting ''[[Only Lovers Left Alive]]'' with [[Tilda Swinton]], [[Tom Hiddleston]], [[Mia Wasikowska]], [[Anton Yelchin]], and Hurt,<ref name=thr120130/> while Jarmusch's musical project [[Sqürl]] were the main contributors to the film's soundtrack.<ref name="Tilda">{{cite news|title=Jim Jarmusch: 'Women are my leaders'|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/feb/20/jim-jarmusch-women-leaders-only-lovers-left-alive?CMP=EMCNEWEML6619I2|access-date=February 21, 2014|newspaper=The Guardian|date=February 20, 2014|author=David Ehrlich}}</ref> The film screened at the [[2013 Cannes Film Festival]] and the 2013 [[Toronto International Film Festival]] (TIFF),<ref name="CannesInComp">{{cite news|url=http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/article/59652.html|title=2013 Official Selection|date=April 18, 2013|access-date=February 8, 2018|work=Cannes}}</ref> with Jarmusch explaining the seven-year completion time frame at the former: "The reason it took so long is that no one wanted to give us the money.

Jarmusch wrote and directed [[Paterson (film)|''Paterson'']] in 2016. The film follows the daily experiences of an inner-city bus driver and poet ([[Adam Driver]]) in [[Paterson, New Jersey]], who shares the same name as the city. Paterson was inspired by objectivist American poet William Carlos Williams and his epic poem "Paterson<ref>{{Cite magazine|last=Brody|first=Richard|title=Jim Jarmusch's "Paterson" and the Myth of the Solitary Artist|url=https://www.newyorker.com/culture/richard-brody/jim-jarmuschs-paterson-and-the-myth-of-the-solitary-artist|access-date=2020-06-20|magazine=The New Yorker|language=en-us}}</ref>".<ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-01-18|title=Jim Jarmusch, Ron Padgett and the sublime poetry of 'Paterson'|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-paterson-poetry-20170102-story.html|access-date=2020-06-21|website=Los Angeles Times|language=en-US}}</ref> The film features the wry, minimalist style<ref>{{Cite book|last=Suarez|first=Juan A.|url=https://www.press.uillinois.edu/books/catalog/44pzk8zs9780252032011.html|title=Jim Jarmusch|date=2007|publisher=University of Illinois Press|isbn=978-0-252-07443-1|language=en}}</ref> found in Jarmusch's other works<ref>{{cite web|url= https://bleeckerstreetmedia.com/editorial/filmmakers-we-love-jim-jarmusch|title= Filmmakers We Love: Jim Jarmusch|website= Bleecker Street|access-date= December 30, 2020}}</ref> and earned 22 award nominations for Jarmusch, Driver and Nellie, the dog featured in the film. The story focuses on Paterson's poetry writing efforts, interspersed with his observations and experiences of the residents he encounters on his bus route and in his daily life. Todd McCarthy of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' gave the film a positive review, writing: "A mild-mannered, almost startlingly undramatic work that offers discreet pleasures to longtime fans of the New York indie-scene veteran, who can always be counted on to go his own way."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/paterson-cannes-review-894268|title='Paterson': Cannes Review|website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|first=Todd|last=McCarthy|date=May 15, 2016|access-date=December 30, 2020}}</ref> Eric Kohn, film critic of ''[[IndieWire]]'' wrote that the film was "an apt statement from Jarmusch, a filmmaker who continues to surprise and innovate while remaining true to his singular voice, and who here seems to have delivered its purest manifestation."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiewire.com/2016/05/cannes-review-adam-driver-stars-in-jim-jarmuschs-paterson-his-most-intimate-film-290526/|title= Cannes Review: Adam Driver Stars in Jim Jarmusch's 'Paterson,' His Most Intimate Film|website= IndieWire|date= May 15, 2016|access-date= December 30, 2020}}</ref>

Jarmusch wrote and directed his first horror film, the zombie comedy ''[[The Dead Don't Die (2019 film)|The Dead Don't Die]]'' featuring an ensemble cast which included performances from [[Bill Murray]], [[Adam Driver]], [[Chloë Sevigny]], [[Steve Buscemi]], [[Tilda Swinton]], [[Carol Kane]], and [[Selena Gomez]]. The film premiered at the [[2019 Cannes Film Festival|72nd Cannes Film Festival]] and received mixed reviews. The film was distributed by [[Focus Features]]. Todd McCarthy of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' wrote of the film, "At times, the [[deadpan]] of Murray and Driver becomes, well, a bit deadening, and true wit is in short supply, even though the film remains amusing most of the way."<ref name=THR>{{cite web|work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/dead-dont-die-review-1210459|title='The Dead Don't Die': Film Review|date=May 14, 2019|author=McCarthy, Todd}}</ref>
