An article that has zero credibility. Sourcing a man who has more bs takes than real ones.

Tarantino a couple days ago spoke about having an idea of who hed wanna cast. He did not disclose.

"Quentin will insert extracts from films from the 1970s. And he will also make his own versions of films from that era."

Paul Schrader offers new insight.

Tarantino using his final film and the "insert Leo into The Great Escape" type scenarios to create "shoulda been" movie moments from 70s films as written in the scripts but not realized on the screen due to studio interference... now that's the type of bold ambitious filmmaking I like to see.

For a movie about a film critic, there sure is a bunch of shooting.

[Show spoiler]You know it.

[Monterey Jack]

Better be a Rick Fudgin' Dalton cameo.

Brad Pitt Reuniting With Quentin Tarantino In Final Film ‘The Movie Critic’

EXCLUSIVE: Quentin Tarantino will be reuniting for the third time with Brad Pitt in his final film The Movie Critic. Unclear if Pitt will play the title character, but I think he is. Last time out, Pitt won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood, and he also starred for Tarantino in Inglorious Basterds. I also think Sony Pictures will be back as the studio distributing the film, with Stacey Sher producing and a 2025 release eyed.

Tarantino has been circumspect on the last movie, but he opened up a bit to Deadline’s Baz Bamigboye at last Cannes when he presided over a screening of Rolling Thunder. He said at the time the movie was set in California the year of that film’s release, which was 1977, and that it “is based on a guy who really lived, but was never really famous, and he used to write movie reviews for a porno rag.”

The inspiration goes back to a job Tarantino had as a teen, loading porn magazines into a vending machine and emptying quarters out of the cash dispenser. “All the other stuff was too skanky to read but then there was this porno rag that had a really interesting movie page,” He told Bamigboye. There was one critic in particular Tarantino liked, who wrote snarky and smart as the second string critic.

I’d heard Tarantino did quite a bit of rewriting since then, so we’ll see. I read his Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood novelization, and it fleshed out the story of Pitt’s character Cliff Booth, who, it turned out, was as much a cinema fan as he was a stone killer when the stuntman work dried up. If Booth went from stuntman to film critic that would make a lot of hardcore fans happy; like many of Tarantino’s screen creations, he’s too good a character to let go of.

The pieces are still falling in place on the film, including where it will be distributed. But after the bang up job Sony did on Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood, including foregoing distribution in China and supporting Tarantino’s refusal to excise the Bruce Lee bout with Cliff Booth, it isn’t too much to imagine Tarantino stays in the fold. Stay tuned.

Quentin Tarantino will be reuniting for the third time with Brad Pitt in his final film The Movie Critic.

If it's the third film they're working on together, Tarantino will be reuniting for the second time with Pitt.

[slumcat]

Huge get for Pitt. Make no mistake, any actor in Hollywood is dying for a role in this film.

Inglorious Bastards
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood...

...am I missing something? Oh, we're griping about the word "reuniting" vs. "collaborating". Well, I suppose you can snipe all you want at that. Seems a bit trivial. But the way journalism layoffs are sweeping print and digital, I suppose not a good time to be off your game.

So... they are reuniting for the 2nd time, right?

The first reunion was after they had made one movie together... the 2nd reunion, after they have made 2 movies together...

You can't reunite if you've never worked together

[CinemaBlu]

If you count True Romance then they actually are reuniting for the 3rd time and collaborating for the 4th time.

That one doesn't count because Tarantino didn't direct

I know QT wrote it, but my sentimental heart wants to give that one to Tony Scott...

[BluBonnet]

It IS a Tony Scott film

[BloodshotUSA]

I really hope he adds Nicolas Cage to the cast of the movie.

[spanky87]

I hope there’s a role for Uma in this. It’s been a while since they worked together and this is to be QT’s last film.

[Ernest Rister]

Might be some bad blood there...look it up.
