Quentin Tarantino It was news after it was learned that the director will finally not film what until now was considered to be his last film. The Movie Critic.
Tarantino’s idea has been clear for a long time: his filmography is going to be limited to 10 films and so far he has made 9 feature films. This means that each project is thought through and reviewed to the point of exhaustion. One of the consequences of this decision is that many renowned projects will fall by the wayside.
Below we leave you a list with 5 movies that Quentin Tarantino never filmed:
The Movie Critic
The Movie Critic would tell the story about a film critic for a porn magazine set in the 70s, where perhaps Brad Pitt he was going to reprise his role as Cliff Booth in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Why wasn’t it filmed? Everything seemed ready for Tarantino to start filming The Movie Critic this year, but in the end it will not happen. The director simply “changed his mind”. Apparently, after having given the script a third revision, Tarantino considered that it was not the right one to close his filmography, as he intended.
Star Trek
The movie of Star Trek that Tarantino would have filmed would be with a script by Mark L. Smith (The revenant). “I think his vision was to go hardcore, with an ‘R’ rating. It was going to have ‘Pulp Fiction’-level violence,” the screenwriter revealed in an interview.
Finally, the fact that a film from a foreign saga was number 10 in his filmography made the director discard the project.
The Vega Brothers or Double V Vega
As many Tarantino fans already know, Vincent Vega (John Travolta in Pulp Fiction) and Vic Vega, alias ‘Señor Rubio’ (Michael Madsen in Reservoir Dogs), they were brothers. This film was going to be a prequel that would have described his younger years.
Tarantino spent years insisting that he wanted to film it, even during press conferences to present Kill Bill, and even toyed with the idea of changing the premise by using other members of the Vega clan as protagonists that we haven’t heard of yet. Nevertheless, in 2007 he admitted that all the actors had gotten “too old”, even himself. “It’s unlikely I’ll get to shoot it,” he concluded.
Royal Casino
In the 90s, when Pierce Brosnan was still James Bond, Tarantino volunteered to adapt the first adventure of the MI6 agent. Finally that didn’t happen.
The director explained that the project “died” after Brosnan left the character in 2002. Later, true to his style, the filmmaker declared that the producers did not count on him because “the film would have been too good, and the rest of the film would have been destroyed.” the franchise”. Even today, Tarantino claims that his idea for filming the film was stolen. Royal Casino 2006, which was the debut of Daniel Craig like James Bond.
Kill Bill Vol. 3
The (for now) failed third installment of this story is one of the most talked about projects of Quentin Tarantino. The story would tell how The Bride (Uma Thurman), would once again wield his katana to fight the avenging (and grown) daughter of Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox).
The reality is that Tarantino and Thurman’s statements over the years gave hope that this film would happen.

“Imagine The Bride and her daughter BB having 20 years of peace that, suddenly, is broken and the bride and BB have to flee. The idea of being able to choose Uma and her daughter Maya would be fucking exciting“Tarantino said in 2021.
“It was really intended to happen, but it was a long time ago. Now I don’t see it on the immediate horizon. I hate to disappoint people, everyone wants it to happen, but I don’t think it will happen anytime soon.” Uma Thurman in 2022.
“I don’t see that happening. My latest film is about a film critic, a male critic. And it’s set in the ’70s.” He said the latter last year, now we know that The Movie Critic will not take place Will this be the opportunity for Kill Bill Vol. 3 to resurface? It will be a matter of continuing to wait.
