It will be the third time that the actor and director have worked together after Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Quentin Tarantino will meet for the third time with Brad Pitt in what will be the director’s last film, The Movie Critic. It is not clear if Pitt will play the main character, but everything indicates that he is.
Last time, Pitt won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for once upon a time in hollywood 2019, and also starred for Tarantino in Inglorious Bastards. Sony Pictures could return as the film’s distribution studio, with Stacey Sher as a producer and with a premiere planned for 2025.
What Quentin Tarantino’s latest film is about
Tarantino has been secretive about the plot of his latest film, The Movie Critic, but he opened up a bit to Deadline at Cannes in May, when the filmmaker presided over a screening of Rolling Thunder. He said at the time that the film takes place in California, the year of its release, which was 1977, and that “it is based on a guy who really lived but was never really famous, and used to write movie reviews for a porn magazine“.
The inspiration dates back to a job Tarantino had as a teenager, loading porn magazines into a vending machine and emptying quarters from the cash dispenser. “Everything else was too vulgar to read, but then there was that magazine that had a really cool movie page,” Tarantino said. There was one critic in particular he liked, who wrote sarcastically and intelligently as a second-rate critic..
The pieces of the film are still falling into place, including where it will be distributed. But after the excellent work Sony did with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, including giving up distribution in China and supporting Tarantino’s refusal to remove Bruce Lee’s fight with Cliff Booth, it wouldn’t be strange to think Tarantino would stay with they.
