Quentin Tarantino recently announced he’s no longer making The Movie Critic as his final film, but some details about it have now come to light.
Last week, Tarantino put The Movie Critic on the chopping block after previously stating it would be his 10th and final film. Details about the film are slim, though it had been reported that Brad Pitt would return as Cliff Booth from the 2018 Tarantino-directed Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but it was unclear in what capacity. Now, a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, has offered some more details on what the film might have been like, painting a clearer picture as to how Pitt’s character would have been involved.
According to sources familiar with the project that spoke with THR, The Movie Critic would have been somewhat of a meta, crossover kind of film that would have placed Tarantino’s films within the 70s, as if they had been made then, allowing the director to bring back some of the big names he’s worked with over the years to reprise their characters in “movie within a movie” moments. This potentially would have had the actors playing fictional versions of themselves as the actors who played those characters.
