Quentin Tarantino’s final film ‘The Movie Critic’ is off to a good start with Brad Pitt now officially starring, which will make it the fourth time he’s teamed up with Tarantino; following True Romance, Inglorious Basterds, and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
No idea whether Brad Pitt is the leading man, but the plot goes something like this (via Deadline):
Tarantino has been circumspect on the last movie, but he opened up a bit to Deadline’s Baz Bamigboye at last Cannes when he presided over a screening of Rolling Thunder. He said at the time the movie was set in California the year of that film’s release, which was 1977, and that it “is based on a guy who really lived, but was never really famous, and he used to write movie reviews for a porno rag.”
The inspiration goes back to a job Tarantino had as a teen, loading porn magazines into a vending machine and emptying quarters out of the cash dispenser. “All the other stuff was too skanky to read but then there was this porno rag that had a really interesting movie page,” He told Bamigboye. There was one critic in particular Tarantino liked, who wrote snarky and smart as the second string critic.
Sounds promising. We all know Tarantino is an absolute freak and this is the sort of thing he excels at writing about so it’s a great shout for his “final” film. I use quotations because like a lot of people I’m not convinced that this will be Tarantino’s last movie, but either way you just know it’s going to be good.
Now all Tarantino has to do is convince Samuel L Jackson, Uma Thurman, Tim Roth and Michael Madsen to be a part of it and really get things rolling with a classic Tarantino all-star cast. Can’t wait.
The Movie Critic is scheduled for release in 2025.
