Quentin Tarantino's 10th (final) movie: "The Movie Critic"

Four years on from his smash hit, Oscar-winning saga "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", Quentin Tarantino is rumoured to be gearing up to start production on his tenth and (if he's a man of his word) final movie.

Quentin Tarantino is back for the last time.

The filmmaker behind some of the most indelible movies of the past three decades, Pulp Fiction and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood among them, is putting together what sources say is being billed as his final movie.

The Movie Critic is the name of the script that Tarantino wrote and is prepping to direct this fall, according to sources.

Logline details are being kept in a suitcase, but sources describe the story as being set in late 1970s Los Angeles with a female lead at its center.

It is possible the story focuses on Pauline Kael, one of the most influential movie critics of all time. Kael, who died in 2001, was not just a critic but also an essayist and novelist. She was known for her pugnacious fights with editors as well as filmmakers. In the late 1970s, Kael had a very brief tenure working as a consultant for Paramount, a position she accepted at the behest of actor Warren Beatty. The timing of that Paramount job seems to coincide with the setting of the script — and the filmmaker is known to have a deep respect for Kael, making the odds of her being the subject of the film more likely.

The project does not have a studio home; it could go out to studios or buyers as early as this week, according to sources. One frontrunner could be Sony, where Tarantino has a tight relationship with topper Tom Rothman. Sony distributed Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the filmmaker’s 2019 opus on 1960s moviemaking, and also gave him a unique deal in which the copyright reverts to him over time. Hollywood also won two Oscars after nabbing 10 nominations and grossed over $377 million worldwide.

Tarantino has for two decades commanded the ability to attract the most coveted actors, working with Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt two times each. He directed Christoph Waltz to two Oscar wins. Samuel L. Jackson is a frequent collaborator. If this truly is his final film, he will have no shortage of thespians dropping everything to line up for roles.

The filmmaker has long maintained he had a finite number of movies in him, saying he wanted to direct 10 films or retire by the time he was 60. The writer-director has made nine (if you count the two Kill Bill movies as one) and turns 60 later this month.

Apparently, and this isn’t an April Fools, this is going ahead on Netflix, but directed by DAVID FINCHER! A great like Fincher directing a piece written by Tarantino could be magnificent.

Brad Pitt expected to return as Cliff Booth - movie/series (unconfirmed which) will be set in the mid 70’s and be a spiritual sequel to OUATIH featuring Cliff and possibly a few other characters from within that movie/movieverse.

I cannot wait for this! I hope it happens.

This also, handily for fans, wouldn’t be classed as Tarantino’s 10th and final movie/project because he isn’t directing it himself.

Quentin has said that his tenth movie, whatever it may be, will be his last.

From what I understand, this is the screenplay that Tarantino’s “The Movie Critic” evolved into when the writer/director couldn’t put the pen down and kept exploring the adventures of Cliff Booth.

Tarantino must have loved the script and didn’t want it to languish in a drawer because sources close to the filmmakers tell us he approached Fincher, and Netflix has quietly put together the deal, which will probably end up being around a $200 million budget to shoot in California this July—yep, it’s being fast-tracked and happening fast, meaning we’ll get additional casting soon.

Fincher loves working with Pitt, and the package of it all was clearly super enticing to everyone.

No other cast is set. Whether Leonardo DiCaprio will return as Rick Dalton is very doubtful. Maybe a cameo wouldn’t be out of order, but it doesn’t appear like it’ll happen: this sounds very much like a Cliff Booth film, though most plot details are unknown (Update: The Insneider says he’s in it, we’ll see?). Oh, and, I don’t think it will amount to much in the movie, but FYI, Margot Robbie and her people got wind of it and said she’s available if they need her.

The film’s official title is unknown, and insiders tell us that Netflix may have paid over $20 million for Tarantino’s screenplay.
