Turns out Quentin Tarantino might not be making the ‘The Movie Critic’ afterall.
We wrote about this only a few weeks ago. I thought it was a sure thing, but that’s Hollywood for you.
Everything seemed to be lining up. You had Quentin Tarantino lined up to direct his tenth film before retiring, the movie had a California tax credit worth $20 million, Sony was in discussions to pick up the film for distribution, and best of all you had Brad Pitt rumored to be signing on the dotted line to star in the movie.
So what happened?
Well, Quentin Tarantino happened. The man has put so much pressure on himself to go out with a bang with his tenth film before his self imposed retirement, and I think the pressure just got to him. I don’t even know where he came up with his ten-movies-then-he’s-out philosophy, but it’s starting to ruin my movie going experience as he keeps bailing on what sounds like great movies.
Alas, ‘The Movie Critic’ wasn’t meant to be I guess. Now the search is on for a film worthy of being Quentin Tarantino’s last movie.
