What might Quentin Tarantino have in store for us in his final film before he bows out? So far, we only know that his new project is called The Movie Critic and that it will take place in Los Angeles in 1977.
The central character of the story was called Jim Sheldon. The name was used by Tarantino himself when writing for the New Beverly Cinema site, the theater he now owns in Los Angeles.
Sheldon is said to be a snarky and irreverent critic who works for the porn magazine The Popstar Pages. Tarantino describes him as “the Travis Bickle of film criticism”, referring to the Taxi Driver character that De Niro played in 1976.
