Quentin Tarantino could have a Pulp Fiction reunion in his latest movie

Last March, Quentin Tarantino confirmed the rumor that his tenth and (supposedly) final film will be The Movie Critic and which, as its title indicates, will be centered on the figure of a film critic.

He did it shortly before turning 60, during a meeting with the public in Paris to talk about Cinema Speculationshis essay on American cinema of the 70s, and where he was also in charge of dispelling the information that suggested that it could be a kind of biopic (in his own way) of the mythical Pauline Kaelone of the most influential critics in Hollywood history.

Instead, the protagonist would be a fictional character who writes reviews for a fictional pornographic magazine in 1977.

Since March, Tarantino and others close to him have been dropping details about the project. In an interview in indiewirethe director and screenwriter Paul Schrader revealed that the director of Reservoir Dogs I had asked him for permission to honor The former Korean prisonera 1977 film for which he wrote the script.

According to what has emerged, Tarantino offered the leading role to Paul Walter Hauser (KKKlansman, Richard Jewell) before the actors and writers’ strike broke out. The strike will delay both production and the confirmation of who will star in it, but the journalist Jeff Sneider maintains that Tarantino already has the complete cast. And that he will make it official as soon as the strike ends.

The possible reunion of the Pulp Fiction cast in Tarantino’s latest film

The details that have emerged in recent months and weeks are already part of the rumor mill, but some come from reliable sources, such as Sneider, who revealed in his podcast The Hot Mic that Tarantino already has the casting closed, one of them being John Travoltawhose career was resurrected thanks to Pulp Fiction.

Regarding the other, Daniel Richtmananother insider with pedigree, already said in July that the participation of Samuel L. Jackson It was also closed, which does not surprise anyone since we are talking about Tarantino’s favorite actor (he has appeared or contributed to six of his nine films).

Another rumor that now seems less likely is an exclusive published by the tabloid Daily Express in July that suggests that Tarantino is going to do everything he can to make Bruce Williswhom he also directed in Pulp Fiction, participate in some way in The Movie Critic.

Willis, as everyone knows, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia last February, but the Express quotes an anonymous source from the production who assures that Tarantino’s wish is for him to appear in a small role and thus be able to pay tribute to him.
