Quentin Tarantino is once again surprising the film world by pivoting to a new project, abandoning The Movie Critic as his final directorial effort.
According to a report from Deadline, Tarantino has changed his mind and has now dropped The Movie Critic as his 10th and final movie. There aren’t many details as to why the decision was made to bail on the highly anticipated film, although it notes that the script had been rewritten and “Tarantino simply decided The Movie Critic will not be it.”
The film was set to have Brad Pitt star. It would’ve marked the third time that Pitt and Tarantino teamed up after Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood and Inglourious Basterds. There were also rumors of Tom Cruise showing up in a smaller, cameo role.
What was The Movie Critic about?
Sony Pictures was eyed to be The Movie Critic’s distributor and Stacey Sher was going to serve as a producer. Details were scarce on what the film was going to revolve around, although it was said to take place in the 70s in California and was “based on a guy who really lived, but was never really famous, and he used to write movie reviews for a porno rag.”
Quentin Tarantino has directed numerous acclaimed and iconic movies, such as 1994’s Pulp Fiction and 2012’s Django Unchained. He is known to often collaborate with actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, and Zoë Bell.
