Brad Pitt to star in Quentin Tarantino’s final film ‘The Movie Critic’

Quentin Tarantino will be reuniting with Brad Pitt for the third time and for the director’s final film ‘The Movie Critic.’ While it is unclear whether Pitt will play the titular character, speculation is rife that he will.

The last time Pitt and Tarantino worked together, the actor went on to win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for 2019’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Previous to that, he starred in Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.

As per Deadline, Sony Pictures may be back as the studio distributing the film, with Stacey Sher producing and a 2025 release date.

Although Tarantino has been wary about his final film, he did spill some beans in an interview to Deadline at Cannes in May. He said that the movie was set in California in 1977 and “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 director drove his inspiration from a job that he had as a teen where he loaded porn magazines into a vending machine and emptied 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 Deadline.

Earlier, Tarantino has been clear that the lead of The Movie Critic will be “somebody in the 35-year-old ball park” and “a new leading man for me”. He also labelled the character as “a very good critic” who was “cynical as hell”.

He said that his reviews were “a cross between early Howard Stern and what Travis Bickle might be if he were a film critic”. Tarantino is known for cinema titles like “Pulp Fiction”, “Kill Bill: Volume 1” and “Volume 2”, “Inglourious Basterds”, “Django Unchained” and “The Hateful Eight.”
