60 years, 84 films and 1 Oscar: this superstar reunites with Tarantino in his latest film, The Movie Critic

Quentin Tarantino isn’t holding back on casting his latest film, The Movie Critic! According to DeadlineThe director hired Brad Pitt in what was to be the last feature film of the famous filmmaker’s career.

Brad Pitt and Tarantino, the third!

After Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, the two artists will team up for the third time. It will be recalled that Brad Pitt received an Oscar for the best performance in a supporting role, for his role alongside DiCaprio in the movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

The character that Brad Pitt will play is still unknown, according to Deadline. It is not known whether it will be the main role or more secondary. By this time, Paul Walter Hauser (The Richard Jewell Affair) was rumored to be replacing Jim Sheldon, the film critic mentioned in the film’s title.

Note that this name was used by Tarantino himself when writing for the New Beverly movie site, the theater he now owns in Los Angeles.

Sheldon is said to be a sly 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.

Tarantino is still keeping its plot a secret, as well as its casting. However, filmmaker Paul Schrader dropped a few small hints last December. In a lengthy interview with Le Monde, the director (also the screenwriter of Taxi Driver) spilled some juicy details about Tarantino’s intentions for his tenth and final film.

Tarantino looks at the 70s

“Quentin is going to put in clips from 1970s movies. And he’s also going to do his own versions of movies from that era. He asked me for permission to do John Flynn’s End of Legitimate Violence (1977). I wrote the original script before it was completely rewritten and watered down.”revealed by Paul Schrader.

If the filmmaker is to be believed, Tarantino will revisit a great 1970s classic in The Critic, just as he did The Great Escape in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

In an impressive feature film sequence, Rick Dalton (DiCaprio) was cast as Steve McQueen, and the result was stunning on the big screen. On paper, the prospect of Tarantino revisiting the seminal works of the 1970s is very exciting.

As of now, no release date has been announced for The Movie Critic, which could begin filming in a few months.
