Should Quentin Tarantino get his wish, he will put together one of the greatest casts of all time for his final film, The Movie Critic.
The Academy Award winner has previously suggested that his 10th movie (if you count Kill Bill as one whole movie) will be his last before he moves on to writing more novels.
In March of 2023, it was announced that his final production would be focused on a movie critic living and working in the 1970s. He has subsequently said that the critic "used to write reviews for a porno rag."
In an interview with Deadline, Tarantino explained what kind of character we're likely to encounter.
"He wrote about mainstream movies and he was the second-string critic," he revealed.
"I think he was a very good critic. He was as cynical as hell. His reviews were a cross between early Howard Stern and what Travis Bickle might be if he were a film critic.
"He wrote like he was 55 but he was only in his early to mid-30s. He died in his late thirties. It wasn’t clear for a while but now I’ve done some more research and I think it was it was complications due to alcoholism."

Tom Cruise in The Movie Critic?
According to industry insider Jeff Sneider, Tarantino wants to work with Tom Cruise for the very first time and they are currently working through scheduling issues so that the A-lister will be able to play some kind of role in the movie.
Cruise continues to be the busiest man in the business and is currently working on Mission: Impossible 8. Thereafter, he will make history by being the first man to film an actual spacewalk for an as-of-yet-unannounced project.
Pitt is the only confirmed name so far, but Tarantino is looking to round up plenty of pals from his previous movies, as John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Michael Madsen and even Bruce Willis have been linked with joining the production.
