According to Deadline and many other ** reports, Brad Pitt is in talks to star in the film "The Movie Critic" directed by Quentin Tarantino. This is Quentin's tenth directing work and the "last" film.
The Critic is set in 1977 and features a protagonist inspired by a cynical film critic who Quentin had read his article back then. As a teenager, Quentin found a job putting magazines in a vending machine and discovered his article.
Quentin described the man as a backup film critic for the magazine, who writes mostly about mainstream films, "I think he's a good critic, very cynical, and in the style of a film critic's version of Howard Stern plus Tr**is Bickle." He's funny, he's rude, he's swearing, he's racist, but he's funny, he's very rude. He died in his thirties and forties, and Quentin didn't know why at the time, but now he has done some research and found that he died of complications caused by alcoholism.
Quentin previously said that he would not use Pete or Xiao Lizi, the male protagonist of the previous movie "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", to play this film critic, hoping to find a "new male lead" around 35 years old.
However, Deadline speculates that Brad Pitt will play the lead actor in the film, and it is very likely that Sony Pictures, the distributor of his last film with Quentin, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, will continue to participate in the distribution of the film. At present, Brad Pitt is working on a new F1-themed film, and if the talks are reached, it will be the third collaboration between Brad Pitt and Quentin after "Inglourious Basterds" and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".
It is worth mentioning that the reason why "The Film Critic" is called Quentin's last work. is because he insisted on saying on many public occasions that "he will retire after directing 10 movies", so works such as "Kill Bill 3" are basically out of action! "The Critic" is expected to start filming in the second half of this year or early next year, and it is reported that many Hollywood actors want to participate in this work.
