For the last time, when filmmaker Quentin Tarantino made a movie, it was 2019. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood was his last movie starring his favorite Leonardo DiCaprio. The film got ten nominations, the most of any Tarantino film. Apart from the nods for the actors and Best Original Screenplay, the famed filmmaker was also nominated for Best Director, though failed to win.
Now, the acclaimed director is up for making a movie for one last time. And, it’s not Leonardo DiCaprio who will star in his last film, but Brad Pitt. The film marks the actor-director’s third collaboration. However, as of now, it’s unclear which role Pitt will play.
Brad Pitt is Reportedly Starring in Quentin Tarantino’s Last Film The Movie Critic
Brad Pitt is reportedly close to signing on to Quentin Tarantino’s next and final film, The Movie Critic, per Deadline. The pair first worked together on 2009’s Inglourious Basterds. The last time they collaborated was on the 2019 Oscar-winning hit Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, for which Pitt won his first acting Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
The Hollywood Reporter previously speculated that the movie is said to be set in 1970s Southern California and is inspired by a cynical movie critic Tarantino read growing up. Tarantino has remained tight-lipped about the project.
Tarantino has, for years, expressed his intention to stop making films after his 10th film. In 2012, he told Playboy,
“I want to stop at a certain point. Directors don’t get better as they get older. Usually, the worst films in their filmography are those last four at the end. I am all about my filmography, and one bad film f*cks up three good ones. I don’t want that bad, out-of-touch comedy in my filmography, the movie that makes people think, ‘Oh man, he still thinks it’s 20 years ago.’ When directors get out-of-date, it’s not pretty.” (Via GQ)
The report also mentions that Sony Pictures will likely distribute the film, and Stacey Sher will serve as a producer. A 2025 release is eyed for what will be Tarantino’s final movie.
Quentin Tarantino Called Brad Pitt One of Hollywood’s Last Real Movie Stars
Quentin Tarantino, who directed Brad Pitt in Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, once called him one of the last remaining big movie stars.
In an interview with GQ, the director described him as
“One of the last remaining big-screen movie stars. He suggests an older-style movie star. It’s just a different breed of man. And frankly, I don’t think you can describe exactly what that is because it’s like describing starshine.”
“He’s really good-looking,” Tarantino added, talking about the star.
He continued,
“I noticed it when we were doing Inglourious Basterds. When Brad was in the shot, I didn’t feel like I was looking through the viewfinder of the camera. I felt like I was watching a movie. Just his presence in the four walls of the frame created that impression.”
Meanwhile, Pitt has been busy filming his two upcoming projects. The first is the thriller Wolves, alongside his friend and co-star George Clooney, directed by Jon Watts. The other film is the yet-untitled Formula 1 racing drama, directed by Joseph Kosinski, who directed Top Gun Maverick (2022).
