Quentin Tarantino SCRAPS plans for his final film The Movie Critic which had Brad Pitt set to star

Time:2024-05-21 16:24:05 source:International Issue news portal

Quentin Tarantino may still make only 10 films in his career, but his last film won't be the project he's been preparing of late, The Movie Critic.

The 61-year-old director has pulled the plug on the project, which was reported in February to have Brad Pitt attached to star in their third movie project together.

Now Deadline reports that Tarantino has simply 'changed his mind' about the project and will not move forward with it.

Tarantino reportedly had rewritten the script which had delayed the start of production, though now it isn't happening altogether.

The filmmaker is said to have, 'gone back to the drawing board,' to try and figure out what his 10th and still final film would be.

QT has said for years that he plans on retiring after his 10th film, which apparently still seems to be the plan, just not with The Movie Critic.

There were other reports from The Hollywood Reporter that claimed the writer-director's rewrites changed the film quite drastically.

The story was to be set in 1977 Los Angeles, and follow the title character, inspired by both a real-life movie critic and his first job as a teenager, stocking porn magazines into vending machines.

QT told Deadline at Cannes last year that the film, 'is based on a guy who really lived but was never really famous, and he used to write movie reviews for a porno rag.'

'All the other stuff was too skanky to read, but then there was this porno rag that had a really interesting movie page,' he added.

There were other reports that characters from Tarantino's previous movies would ultimately surface in The Movie Critic.

THR reports that QT's most recent rewrites were going to bring Pitt back as Cliff Booth, his stuntman character from 2019's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. 

Tarantino was also planning on shooting for just one day in August, so the project could secure a $20.5 million California Tax Credit, before filming would start fully in early 2025.

This wouldn't be the first time that Tarantino has pulled the plug on a movie project abruptly.

Back in early 2014, it was revealed that Tarantino was pulling the plug on The Hateful Eight, after he sent the script to a small group of trusted actors.

One of those actors shared the script with his agent, and it had subsequently been shared all over town, which caused Tarantino to pull the plug on it.

He later came around after a live-read for charity drew rave reviews, which lead him to go into production, with the film released in 2015. 

There were a few other projects Tarantino has bandied about that never came to fruition, like the oft-rumored Vega Brothers project that would have starred Michael Madsen as Vic Vega from 1992's Reservoir Dogs and John Travolta as Vincent Vega from 1994's Pulp Fiction.

He was also at one point developing an R-rated Star Trek project for Paramount though that never moved forward either.
