The films of Quentin Tarantino They always have some twist or surprise in the plot, but now that has become reality: they completely ruled out ”The Movie Critic”the one that was going to be his tenth and last film in command of the direction.
This was reported by the site Deadline, where they confirmed that the causes of this cancellation were that they simply ”he changed his mind”.
Tarantino was going to have Brad Pitt as the main star, which would have marked their third collaboration after the successful ”Inglourious Basterds” (2009) and ”Once upon a time in Hollywood” (2019) -which according to reports Pitt was going to return to play Cliff Booth, one of the characters-, as well as rumors that many cast members from his past films could participate.
Additionally, there was a rumor that he had rewritten his script, which delayed the start of production. Now the famous director He is thinking about what will be the film that culminates his successful career.
It is not the first time that Quentin Tarantino decides to go back on one of his films
This is the biggest surprise for Tarantino fans since several years ago, when it was revealed that he himself had shelved indefinitely ”The Hateful Eight”after he gave his script to a small group of actors and one of they shared it with their representative. They copied this draft, and later spread throughout the internet. Thanks to this, Tarantino felt betrayed, but eventually returned to the project after doing a charity reading, where he received praise for it.
The project ”The Movie Critic” gained a lot of momentum after the SAG-AFTRA strike ended when it was announced that Pitt would be joining the film, hoping to begin filming it in 2024. Tarantino said at the time that his film was set in California and that “it’s based into a guy who really lived but was never really famous, and used to write movie reviews for a porn magazine.”
Inspiration dates back to a job Tarantino had when he was a teenager, loading porn magazines into a vending machine and emptying quarters from the cash dispenser. There was one critic in particular that Tarantino liked, who wrote sarcastically and intelligently.
Just like leaving aside ”The Hateful Eight Tarantino swerved when he deemed it necessary, a trait that has served him well so far in his career and will surely help him in whatever he decides to make as his last film.
