Quentin Tarantino has ready the script for ‘The Movie Critic’, his tenth and final film

Quentin Tarantino he has stated on several occasions that his next film, number 10 of his career, would be his last. The Hollywood Reporter has reported exclusively that the film that will put an end to his filmography has already been written and that will begin shooting in the fall of this year.

‘The Movie Critic’ It has been described as the story of a film critic set in Los Angeles in the 1970s, and could be based on the figure of Pauline Kael, one of the most influential film critics of all time. The reviews of Kael, who died in 2001, in The New Yorker were the most feared in Hollywood, always going against the general sentiment of the rest of the media. Tarantino has always expressed her admiration for her, and the period of ‘The Movie Critic’ would coincide with the time in which Kael worked as a consultant for Paramount at the behest of Warren Beatty.

But why is Quentin Tarantino retiring? The filmmaker has long maintained that he wanted to end his career after directing ten films or retire when he was 60.. Tarantino has nine feature films to his credit (the two volumes of ‘Kill Bill’ are one movie) and he turns 60 later this month. So everything seems to indicate that we would be facing the latest film from the director of several of the best films in history.

In 2012, in statements to Playboy magazine, Tarantino stated: “I want to stop at a certain point. Directors don’t get better as they get older. Usually the worst movies in his filmography are the last four, at the end of his career. I am my filmography, and one bad movie fucks up three good ones. I don’t want that bad, out-of-place comedy in my filmography, the movie that makes people think, ‘Oh man, he still thinks he’s the same as he was 20 years ago.’ When directors get stale, it’s not pretty”.

However, even if Tarantino stops directing films, the filmmaker has not ruled out continuing his work in television series or expanding into other media such as theater or literaturehaving published his first novel in 2021, an adaptation of the script of ‘Once upon a time in… Hollywood’.
