Quentin Tarantino Scraps ‘The Movie Critic’ as His Final Film
Quentin Tarantino is no longer planning to make “The Movie Critic,” which he had earlier said would be his final film as a director. It was confirmed Wednesday that the director had given the project a thumbs down.
Brad Pitt had reportedly been cast in a lead role in the film that Tarantino had said was about a small-time movie critic who wrote smart reviews for a porn magazine, and was set in 1977.
It’s not clear what project he might choose as his next film as he had also decided against an R-rated “Star Trek” film in 2019, saying it was too big a project. “Look, I might come up with a really big idea. But right now, the idea of a smaller audience almost all the way around is appealing to me,” he said at the time.
In 2022, he tossed around the idea of making an eight-episode TV series, but that too never came to fruition.
The news was first reported by Deadline.
