Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt to reunite for director’s final film, The Movie Critic
Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt are set to reunite once again for the director’s final film, The Movie Critic. This will mark the third collaboration between the two, following their successful work on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Inglourious Basterds.
While it’s not confirmed whether Brad Pitt will play the title character, there is speculation that he might. Pitt previously won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which was also directed by Tarantino.
The film is expected to be distributed by Sony Pictures, with Stacey Sher producing and a targeted release in 2025. Tarantino has been secretive about the details of the movie, but he hinted at its setting in California in 1977. The story is based on a real but relatively unknown individual who wrote movie reviews for a pornographic magazine.
Tarantino drew inspiration for the film from his own experiences as a teenager, where he worked loading porn magazines into vending machines. He expressed an interest in a particular critic who wrote witty and clever reviews, which left a lasting impression on him.
Although the specifics of the plot are still under wraps, it’s been suggested that the movie could delve into the transition of a character from a stuntman to a film critic. This potential storyline has intrigued many fans, as Tarantino’s characters are known for their depth and complexity.
As the details continue to unfold, the distribution of the film remains uncertain. However, given Sony’s success with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the studio seems like a strong contender.
