Quentin Tarantino holds the subject of what should be his last film before bowing out, after more than twenty years of career and nine films on the clock – the director having always maintained that he would retire after his tenth feature film. Four years after the release of Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, the filmmaker has just completed the script for The Movie Critic, the provisional title of what could be his final project. In line with Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, Tarantino is considering a new movie meta movie set in late 1970s Los Angeles and following a female lead character, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The media and many fans have already put a note on the figure of Pauline Kael, one of the most influential film critics in history, recently staged in David Fincher’s Mank and to whom Tarantino has a real admiration. .In the meantime, the director has published a novel on the universe of his latest film as well as an essay entitled Cinema Speculation (which he will present on the Grand Rex stage on March 29). Filming for The Movie Critic is slated for this fall and has yet to find a studio. It could be that Sony gets the baby back since the giant held the distribution rights to Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. See also on Konbini
